best muffler for smallport

[panda_dan]

I am putting a smallport 4age in my ae85

I have some nice headers and im going to run 2.25" piping right through

Just wondering what brands of mufflers suit the smallport the best without giving that terrible raspy bumble bee sound on acceleration. Im not concerned about how it looks really.

There's quite a selection of N1 / straight cut mufflers on Trademe but no-one makes them with a 2.25" inlet.

Anyone have good / bad experiences?

Any help appreciated. Cheers - Danny

im using flowmasters for bluetop and its not very tinny aye. they are quite big mufflers though.

do a search its been covered before.

what causes that raspy sound by the way?

[panda_dan]

From what i know, it is determined by 2 things

1 - The quality of the material used when packing the baffles

2- The quantity and density of the packing itself

Better quality packing = smoother deeper sound.
