Has anybody tried the mufflers that are on BurnsStainless site? http://www.burnsstainless.com/DragMuffler/dragmuffler.html, or http://www.burnsstainless.com/UltraliteMuffler/ultralitemuffler.html.  With their reputation and warranties, might be worth a look, although they are not cheap.  I am going ahead with no muffler on the dyno, where we will take readings with the turbo on.  By the way, the turbo is a Garrett 4080.

Thanks Bob. Mine is a Turrentine built engine with NA rotors in turbo housings (no splitters).

Huh. Well it sure doesnt look as elegant as my  welded stainless 2  into 1 header, but if it works it might be worth making the change.  And would be cheap - I've got one floating around somewhere.

One question. Do you know if Paul ran housings with the splitters or without?

Mike Wills

Mike,

Paul used a Turbo engine without the turbo. So there were no  splitters. Doing so with splitters probably would help also. Just my  opinion tho!
