Custom MK !!!
Well today I went over to Ben's place and he just didn't like the way my SC sounded, way too subdued. So with a little work he made a custom single in single out with a modified outlet pipe. The sound is absolutely perfect. Not loud but not too quiet either still very neighborhood friendly. It has a killer rumble nice and deep at idle and when she hits 4500 rpm it just sounds amazing.
Some pics for you all to enjoy! Also a couple of Bens stunning 77 Turbo, which I have yet to ride in..Someday. JW

Very cool. So that's Ben, huh? Funny how people always look different that the image you get after talking on the phone. I've been talking/working with Ben for 3 years. Very nice guy. In fact, I'm getting an M&K as we speak!
Hey Ben, what's the new secret Jon is talking about.  ??

Good story telling in your photos. I also a Ben's customer in Thailand.
Last photo in your first post with the dog, looks like he's trying to say something. Thanks for sharing Burint

Milt I'm telling ya you will love it. . . The sound is perfect.
Hahah "junk" well we took all the necessary safety precautions .. except the last minute drilling....  Besides I think Ben is castrated.. but dont quote me on that! It might have been his dog though? He does look a little sad and confused.

What was custom about this muffler as compared to the off-the-shelf versions?

What was done? Tail pipe extended and angled rearward? Did this change the sound/loudness?

Whats custom is this muffler was designed for a complete different application of tail pipes and I ended up reworking it to Jons needs with parts found in the corner. So I built it on the car versus a fixture. Internally nothing was changed but the end plate where the tail pipe mount is wrong for the application but I worked around it and it turned out well.. I am glad Jon likes the final product. and a cool picture of my car and dog as well

Yep.....that's Ben allright....and his helper Oscar. I've been at Ben's house and you're right "porsche930dude".....he's usually much more safety conscious concerning wearing baggy clothing while working with high rpm tools. When I've been there while he's working, he's usually wearing spandex tights, a tank top, and some sensible shoes.
