Well i got my mufflers today from ebay and they wern't quite what i expected.
i think they will look good when on (and i will post pics ect...) but i am worried about the flow.
one of them has a glasspack type baffle in it which the hole is perhaps 1" the other has a maybe 1/4" hole so most of the gas is forces around and through a mesh tube. first just holding them up to the back of my muffler the glasspack one quieted it down a bit and the baffled one just changed the sound a bit.
so, they are both 1 1/2 inch inlet, if it wasn't for the baffles they would flow more then the single 2" pipe (12.56 area vs. 2x7.065=14 area) which is on there now. but right now it is a straight through yosh, one of the pipes will be baffled, the other about a 1" center section, so at best it would be an area of about 3.14+7.065=10ish not taking into acount how much the baffle would slow things down.
so all this rambling for two questions.
Is the restriction something to worry about? i don't want to loose performance with this.
Two is sound, will the just baffled one sound bad? if worse comes to worse i was thinking i could always remove the baffles for flow (or one of them) and have a glasspack type thing right off of the header for noise reduction...
Thanks for the help
