Here are some pics of my FloPro muffler setup.
I still need to clean up the welds and paint her up but it sounds great. Not sure about a tip. Might just paint it black and leave it. (I don't like chrome.) Muffler was half the price of a Flaumeister dual out($60). Cost me $75 to have the system done at local Muffler Man. Just another way to personlize my 911. Wayne ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

So it was a dual out that and you sealed one outlet?

Yes. It is for a Camaro/Firebird, 93-2003. I felt the dual out would be too loud for me taste. i figure I can always put another tailpipe on down the road. Gotta thank Mr. Mark Wilson for the tip on using this style muffler.

Thanks, BRJ.
I was looking at the setup you have dfor sale but wifey said no. So I did it this way. I am still in a little trouble but she usually only stays mad for a few days. When I got it done, she did comment that it sounded pretty cool.

No worries, I congratulate you for taking the dive into something different and custom made, I always thought and still think the PRE-MADE "ELITE" exhaust out there are over priced. The way I see it, it is always JUST A MUFFLER in my eyes.
No muffler is worth $800 in my book. Quote:

Hmmm...I just ordered a set of B&B headers. I will not buy one of their mufflers, and was leaning to the Fabspeed. But, at $700 for that one, this may be the way to go. Do they make these in S/S?

My choice was strictly cost. I have overspent what I told my wife by ALOT!!!!
I have a video clip that RUFBlackbird hosted for me but I can't get it to download properly.I think it sounds good. Deeper tone at idle then raspier as you go through the gears. I drove a 930 Turbo with a Borla SS setup last year and I think it would get old after a while. Too loud for me. efhughes--Check FloPro Mufflers .com. I believe they do offer them in SS but obviously the cost would be much more. BTW--I did not notice any increase in power, just a more aggressive tone. Crackles nicely when you let off, too!!!!

Thanks Jeff!
Sorry about the crappy video. I think we all need to invest in camera mounts for doing these goffy vid clips.LOL

at least yours is more exciting than my makeshift camera case/tripod with the whole video clip staring at the exhaust pipe

Thanks.
Have you thought about cutting your valence panel for two outlets kinda like the early race cars?

I thought about it, but since the 964 rear bumper I have is fiberglass, I'm not sure where exactly to cut. Plus, eventually (as in one day....) it'll be backdated back to an early 911 body style...in Speedster form.
