    Flowtech muffler

    Guys there's another option i've considering about the dual exhaust i'm about to do in the following weeks.

    3A racing mufflers bullet straight model is at the top of my list,but the flowtect mufflers also swing around my mind

    Do any one of guys had ever this muffler installed & if you do how was the outcome ?

    I'll hold to the 2,50" diameter pipes,the guys at the shop lifted the VX & suggested me that,they also said never saw a VX before so they were impressed about the exterior design & interior. ( VX moment )

    If i decide to go with the 3A RACING they told me that 3,00" outlet is enough So i'll need your expertise to have a decision.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    3" dual will be too big. Do you mean you want to do a single 3"? If you want dual exhaust, I woudl not go over 2.25" each.

    A racing muffler is like having no muffler at all, Gustavo. I honestly don't think you will be happy with it.

    Good luck!

    No,no 3,00 " pipes,actually one of the guys called me today sharing few tips after he review the engine's specs. He said no duals at all.

    Single pipe each side 2,25".

    If i still want the dual each side he said 2,00" is enough because of the back pressure issue.

    I'm clear about the pipes,but what about the mufflers ? I do want straight-flow mufflers,but unclear about which one

    Gustavo,

    I would recommend a single 2.5" or 2.75" pipe from where the two pipes from the catalytic convertors merge together. This 2.5" setup made my VX jump off the line - a very nice performance enhancement

    I had a FlowMaster Delta 40 or Delta 50 muffler first, but it was just too loud inside. I just replaced it with a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler (see my post above) and I am very happy with it. It still has some bark to it, but it is much quieter inside.

    The muffler was like $65 or $70 delivered, and I paid another $225 to have the pipes and the muffler installed.

    Good luck!

    The loud issue wouldn't be a issue for me;My stereo is always pumping hard no matter what.

    I'll still check those flowmaster muffler to see if i may head that way
