I had another thought on my commute this morning (I know it's dangerous). I have functional perforated tube mufflers that are still functional. What if instead of using regular old tubing to go from the y-pipe portion of the muffler I use these rather 'small' mufflers instead. I see the benefit two fold:
1) I save money by not buying additional stainless steel tube
2) I get a quieter note because they have muffeling capability
Basically I'm doing what Ted suggested about ferrari and making a huge muffler
.
In addition to this though what if I combined a diffuser and a muffler together? Have a large perferated tube design feed into a rather flat but large muffler filled with stainless steel wool and outputs into two exhaust mufflers on the side in the normal location.
Thoughts? (I want to see if anyone can spot the issue with the latter idea
)
