Initially I had a 2 in 2 out M&K with headers (no heat), and loved the sound and light weight. Since then I had a dansk muffler modified inside, and added two 2 1/2" exit pipes centered 12" apart. It's the "old school" design we used to make back in the '70s. Also switched to Bursch headers. The sound is a little louder than the M&K, crisper, with a bit more mechanical snarl. For my taste, it is perfect. You are going to love your engine, I can't wait to see it in person!!!!!!! Congratulations. |
This little thing just keeps pulling to redline, the dyno graphs show it - the motec has a nice 'graceful' cutoff at the redline too which is nice - easy on the motor. Rods I have a GT3 Titanium with a supertech custom crankshaft. Heads were done by xtreme, rockers are pauter billet. etc...
I had M&K build me a custom header set with heat. They are very nicely made, we modified the design of the heat boxes a bit, and actually they changed the design recently, to allow more clearance. But they seem to work well.
The muffler I have coming I bet is the same you have. The standard 2 in, 1 out, modified internal, cap the side exit, 2 2 1/2 center exits.... I said SSI but I think it's a Dansk in stainless.
We'll give that a go it'll be here tomorrow actually. I'm ok if I lose some HP up top, just need to quiet it down a bit!
