enigma Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Here is an exhaust system combination I bet you haven't seen yet. This system consists of 2 Jones Turbopack mufflers (these are 2-tube mini-turbo mufflers contained in a round case that looks like a glasspack). The largest one is 5" diameter by 24" long case. The inlet size is available in either a 3" blank (which is what I bought, it's also the cheaper of the two) or 3" tube connection. The 5 x 24" turbopacks with 3" blank inlets p/n is JONATT5024B available from Full Line Exhaust: http://www.fle-online.com/InformationPages/infoturbopacks.htm http://www.fle-online.com/OtherProducts/OTHGlasspacks/turbopacks.htm These have two 2.25" dia perforated tubes inside them, and the thickness of the aluminized case is 15 gage and the welds are quite beefy. These mufflers are built! I bought 2 of these to put under the floor of my '75 280z, (did have to beat the right side of the tunnel in a bit for clearance), Forget about using these in a 240, they won't fit, but you could try the smaller 4" dia ones. Now orginally I had a Magnaflow 4x9x14" Dual in/Dual out muffler (p/n CARS11386 http://www.fle-online.com/MAGNAFLOW/MAGUniversalMufflers/alu4x9.htm) in back in the original mounting spot, since the dual 4x30" glasspacks I had under the tunnel were too loud for me by themselves. I decided to keep the Magna in addition to the two new Jones mufflers for maximum quiet. Notice that I used a piece of the old 4" glasspack case on each end to adapt from my 2 1/2" pipes to the 3" case on the Jones mufflers. It now sounds quieter than it did with the old glasspacks, but you can still hear there's a beast under the hood, about 1/2 of the low-frequency rumble is still there, but now it has a cool metallicy pinging sound, like the sound of the individual firings going into the header pipes are being amplified a bit by the Jones mufflers. With the Magna adding a bit of a european sting to the tailpipe, the overall effect is quite cool, fairly quiet, and alot different than some old Mustang with dual turbos.

Guest 305240 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Check out Grumpyvettes posts about exhaust systems. He really makes a lot of sence. I recently rode in my friends Z that had a 3 1/2" exhaust all the way back. He has a sprial muffler on the end of it. That thing sounds nasty! I love it, but then again, I don't wear my hearing aids...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
