Would that pipe sound like a giant, pissed off hornet coming in at night? Anybody heard one on a SS?

My new muffler is amazingly quiet, especially since it has a hole straight through (see pipe that will slip up the muffler!)

It is a Patriot Exhaust H3346 -- 1 3/4" inlet, outlet, 3" diameter case, 26" long. Also available in 24" or 22". It is naked, no pipes. I simply cut a piece of 1 3/4" tailpipe, cut about 10 degrees for the inlet, straiget for the outlet, brazen, painted.

Just put two of these on my S50. I really liked the sound but they were just a bit too loud so I ordered this stuff:

It took about 10 minutes per muffler to install. Now I'm finally really happy with the sound and look.

How about some pics of this muffler mounted? I was curious how it looked on a s40 because its pretty long.

That Dunstall is what I'm going to run on the Honda, one on each side.

12" shorty is beyond loud. Your neighbors will think a Vietnam War era Huey medivac helicopter is landing in the yard.

Want to really make it loud? A 26" piece of chain link fence top rail tubing, cut at a 75 degree angle, you will think you are living on a fire base. Shutdown backfire puts a 105mm howitzer to shame...

That sounds awesome Cheesy

My neighbors across the street just had a baby. I imagine there would be words if I did that. Tempting though. I split the back yard into a dog run/ kids area and I have all kinds of fence stuff left over.....

I have no problems cracking my pipes first thing in the morning. Smiley

I have neighbors that think it's just fine to sit outside and talk LOUDLY at 5 am. Smiley

I also have a bunch of spoiled little demon children around me that are screaming and yelling and carrying on ALL DAY LONG. Smiley

Cracking my pipes is the least I can do to repay them for annoying me. Grin

I have a Jardine muffler that is nice and loud. Grin

Amen to that brother. I like to keep the peace, but if nobody else cares, why should we?
