Cool!
What's the plan for having the buyer modify stainless steel HE's for flanges to match the muffler? Wouldn't it be easier to have the flange on the muffler match the HE instead of the other way around? The HE already keeps the outlets separate for each cylinder. I've no doubt that you have a reason for doing it this way. Just curious what that is. Looking at it and reading your last post again it probably has something to do with bringing the muffler back in closer to the HE's? |

What's the plan for having the buyer modify stainless steel HE's for flanges to match the muffler? There are a three options. Send your HEs to me for modification, trade them for one's I will have in stock already altered, or get it done locally. The ones pictured are 1.7-1.8L and are too long for where I think the muffler should be positioned. 2.0L HE's are shorter but don't have the bend that brings the flange up to the appropriate height for my muffler. Both are identical to just behind the HE jacket. Welding two inlets to my muffler so close together and with a big flange so close to the muffler body would be a real challenge, and they really wouldn't be separated enough to fully isolate the acoustic signal IMO. By moving the outer pipe further out I shorten the longer pipes just a little more and make assembly much easier. At least that's the plan so far. We've started assembly of a new muffler but everything isn't set in stone yet. |
