Looking for some opinions or even facts.. when it comes to to BUILD new muffler for my sidewinder on wondering what to use. Would be nice to go cheap but don't want to have any issues. Or... should I just go top to bottom with stainless?? Will aluminized Steel hold up to the heat?

top to bottom stainless steel is recommended....also....a non baffled design ....perforated pipe striaght through...if its wool packed it will eventually either blow out or from the heat might melt together and get louder and or rattle...a straight through turbo friendly unit is what Id recommend....like an AERO unit... now for the good info you have to make me one too lol

Ya... so basically you are telling me what I DON'T want to hear. What thinking 1/4" Steel plate for the flange and then plain Old Steel exhaust with a piece of flex, then a shortened glass pack haha.[emoji109] [emoji101] [emoji120]top to bottom stainless steel is recommended....also....a non baffled design ....perforated pipe striaght through...if its wool packed it will eventually either blow out or from the heat might melt together and get louder and or rattle...a straight through turbo friendly unit is what Id recommend....like an AERO unit... now for the good info you have to make me one too lol

I'm sure.. but I can't justify spending 500 on a muffler. It sure don't cost that to build. The only reason it cost that much is because people want it amd are willing to pay. I'm not.
