Marty Usher	Thanks to Bob Goetz for sending me a pair of his SS dual steel case mufflers. The 19 inch long 3" diameter mufflers are fitted with 2" diameter pipes bent and cut to length so the two mufflers replace the stock Prowler single muffler. I have tried numerous mufflers and loved the sound of Jay Harris's SSS muffler until I removed my catalytic convertors. At that point it was just too loud at the RPM range when cruising at interstate speeds (performance gears raise the RPM's to around 3000) The new Real Rod mufflers really tone down the harsh sounds I was experiencing with glass packs at Wide Open Throttle. Now I can drive more aggressively around town without attracting every police officer within a three mile radius! The additional back pressure from the 2" pipes and extra sound dampening actually increased the low end torque and I can squeal the tires off the line for about 1 and 1/2 seconds by just stomping the gas pedal.
Gary C	So 2.5 miles is OK? Nice talking to ya today, keep ET number in your head, it will be close and I am a great guesser, guessed Mike's ET to the hundredth at Texas Speed Weekend ------------------ HiBoy by Prowler Products
CJ	Marty........how is Rebecca doing with her new hearing aids??? LOL! That was WAY out of control!

Marty, Well I finally have removed the old pipes and all the weld from the SSS muffler you gave me. Now I am ready to install it which I should get to this week. I will let you know how it sounds. If you need a ride, back to the city, when you come up here next month just let me know. Thanks, Bob ------------------ This message has been edited by hack1320 on 06-18-2003 at 07:53 AM

Compared to before it is downright quiet! (But probably still loud for your taste) Bob - thanks. I'll call you when I know my travel plans. I hope you like the SSS.
fixumm	Marty i now have two snake mufflers for ya to try..lol

Marty Usher	fixumm - what are you doing for mufflers on your Viper?
Bob Hacker	Marty, I put the SSS muffler on tonight, sounds good. I will get more use out of it tomorrow. Fixumm, quote: What a Hack.....Get it Hack What are you talking about?? Bob This message has been edited by hack1320 on 06-18-2003 at 09:28 PM
CJ	C'mon now Marty.....don't sell me any shorter than I already am! I don't mind loud, but yours was beyond obnoxious!!!
fixumm	quote: Originally posted by Marty Usher: fixumm - what are you doing for mufflers on your Viper? They are called TWISTERS .The center is straight thru and the out side around the center is spiraled so the exhaust spins around... kind of sounds like a blower belt whistle

YELLER CAT	It was great to learn that the Highly Acclaimed SSS is still alive and well, even after surgery. I know the new Cat will get lots and lots of enjoyment from the SSS when stretching it's claws... truly Sweet, Smooth and SASSY! Best wishes, Jay
Marty Usher	CJ - It was TOTALLY obnoxious. Now it is only BORDERLINE obnoxious. We'll see if Norm can dyno it without getting a visit from the police. fixumm - that sounds a lot like the muffler design I got from Real Rod. 19" long x 3 1/2" diameter steel cases with straight through design and sound dampening material arranged in a swirl pattern. BobH - I hope you like the SSS. As Jay describes it, the sound is really nice.
Bob Hacker	YC-Jay, I am looking forward to it today, last night it was raining while I put it on, then it cleared up as I finished, I got to take it for a short run on dry streets, then I got back home it started to pour again. Fixumm, You are right about the welds, what a mess, but I got them cleaned up, and I just clamped the muffler on. Thurs night Crystal Lake Cruise Night, I will be around somewhere, our friends sold their house. CJ, Marty's old setup was obnoxious Bob This message has been edited by hack1320 on 06-19-2003 at 07:08 AM
