I don't think their durability is exactly stellar.
Mine went south with only a year on it and I touch redline about once =
every six months....(it was warrantied, however)

Subject: Dynomax muffler choices
It looks like the short list is out (and it's pretty short)
I'm looking at one of two dynomax mufflers: =20
1) the ultraflow welded/race model 17230, which is a 6" round unit =
with
2.5 in/out, and a 21" overall length, which makes it a pretty good fit
behind the TT centre pipe, with only a top or turndown required. =20
2) the dynomax race bullet, which is a "racing only" muffler (hey, I =
race
my Scirocco in the laneway everynight!) The 24215 is a 4" round =
bullet
with 2.5 in/out and a 16.5" overall length, meaning it'll need a =
longer
turndown to get the exhaust past the rear valence.
Although the price of the bullet is much more attractive (still =
waiting
for final quotes from local supplier) it looks like it probably will =
not
do too much in the way of quieting, compared to the 6" round unit. =

anyone have experience with either of these models? The =

really rough edge off.
Any personal opionion concerning the overall quality (or lack therof) =

dynomax products would also be appreciated.=20
