OK so I have a used stainless Dansk muffler that I will be using on my six and I have to do something about the single "out" pipe because it is really twisted and bent up pretty bad, but the rest of the muffler is really nice. I'd like to do the conversion to "2 out" pipes and have a question or two. First, what size pipes should I be using for a stock 2.7L engine with CIS? Smaller pipe is more restrictive, will the 2.7 benifit from that or should I go for less restrictive. There may not even be enough of a difference to notice, I don't know. Also, will I be able to find this pipe in stainless? I guess the best place to get it is at a muffler shop? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

When you look at the stock muffler, you can trace the exhaust flow into the main chamber, through the short pipe, through the long pipe and through the various chambers. You can sort of see how this single muffler is really a series of pipe and mufflers. Someone probably spent a lot of time testing and experimenting to come up with this.

When you look at the modified sport muffler, you can see the exhaust flow enter the main chamber and then exit the main chamber. All of the internal pipe, chambers, baffles, etc. are now just along for the ride.

Makes me wonder why you even start with a muffler and not just a blank steel tube? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
