Flowmaster Outlaw muffler - anti-reversion?

[BradH]

Would it be somewhat similar to the mufflers with the discs that you load and unload to adjust the sound, etc? I can't recall the name, even though it's on the tip of my tongue.

Edit: Supertrapps? Didn't know they bought out Jardine Performance Products in '12.

No, a different design than Super Trapp. I'll post a pic I found of the style I'm asking about later for those who aren't familiar with it.

Pic of long version cut-away showing "attenuation rings", and short version (available in both 3.5" and 3.0" ID) that I was wondering about using.

Don't know for sure, but I'd guess-timate the shorter case would only have 3 rings at most.

What is the flow direction?

[BradH]

As shown in the cut-away image, from top to bottom (flow goes w/ the angle of the fins/rings, not against).

Interesting.

I think that is pretty cool. Never seen that. I would definitely say that is a AR device.
Ho well does it knock down noise?

[BradH]

Flowmaster makes no db reduction claims... says it's an option for tracks or classes that "need a muffler, but don't have db limits". Could just as well be an empty coffee can, except somebody decided to put those curved-back discs in there for whatever reason.

If I incorporate them into my street/strip car system, I'd have no expectations at all it would tone down the noise.

My application has 2" x 3.5" headers that connect to a 3" X-pipe about 20" after the collector flange. It has full-length tailpipes and Dynomax Utra Flo mufflers in the typical before-the-axle location.

FWIW, here are pics of the 3.5"-to-3.0" adapters that feed into the 3.0" X-pipe...

... and one on the side to see the straight section where I was wondering if the short version of those "mufflers" might go...

... and the X-pipe junction leading to the tailpipes.

I also saw on another thread where you mentioned using AR mufflers after the X-pipe. I suppose that could also be an option... ?

Yeah, go ahead and stick them in there right after the reducer.

When racing in a class that requires small headers to limit power, would anti reversion devises be of any benefit?

Recently posted some thoughts on Speed talk.

From what I've described, would you recommend that I stay with the 3.5"-to-3.0" reducer and use the 3" ID unit, or change to a straight 3.5" collector adapter w/ the 3.5" version and then drop it down to 3" after that?

BTW, thanks for your input on this.

Get a smaller collector and stay at 3.0"

We tested a lot of mufflers - The Outlaws made the most power.

Hey Ed, it's been a while; good to know you're still/again with us!

Hi Ed, did you guys do any db testing?
