I am using 2 1/8" dia .035 wall
thickness 304 SS. Forgot to mention that each 4 foot muffler weighs 6
lbs 8 oz.
Wow, I
figured it would be less than that, even in the early stage. My Spintech
weighs 14 lbs, and the rest of the pipe from the firewall back probably
adds another 5-6 lbs. Perhaps this could amount to a 10 lb savings, if you
can reduce the weight as you hope.
My headers
already come together into a nice 2.5" (I think) pipe prior to the
muffler. I used a two piece ball type coupler, which means I could buy
another coupler, and weld it up to a new pipe-muffler, then just bolt it onto
the existing header. I'll be interested to see how yours works out.
By the way, Rusty, do you think you might try to
make the RV flyin at LakeLand in Jan??
Good
question... hadn't even thought about it. I'll have to check
the work calendar, but I'm already skeptical. I work with a bunch
of Bambi killers, who live for deer season. There usually isn't a
Monday or Friday open during hunting season. As an aside, the ones who
don't hunt, fish. I joke with them that I need to find a hobby that
involves killing something, and they point out that I already have a hobby
that involves trying to kill myself :-)
