    I am going to start making these. I know there is a need for some low profile mufflers, so I figured I would fill it. They will be 2.5" tall and work with up to 2.25" exhaust systems, which would need to be specified. There are 5 chambers, 3 of which are filled with steel wool. Will get a sound clip up soon.

    What do you think is a fair price?

    Looks awesome Seth...I guess like most things the price of them would depend on how much time & materials youve got in them. I think youve got a big hit on your hands bro!! :)

    I've decided I will be going with $99 shipped in the US.

    I won't do stainless. Prices are outrageous for stainless here right now,a nd it would cost me $100 just to build it. But I will keep using stainless steel wool. Its less dense, better flow. I will offer them unpacked if anyone wants them that way.

    Not bad. Seems like a good deal. I would like to hear the sound clip when you get one. With the sound clip, let us know what engine your using.

    Basically the same as the Nissan. Its an import 4 banger, they all sound alike to an extent. I don't have a 22RE, so I can't test that out. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

    Could you post the full dimensions?

    If you could post idle,rev,and driving sound,that would be very cool :)

    Most import 4 bangers sound very similar. But Domestic 4 cylinders have a different sound. The imports do vary, but you will end up with a something pretty close.

    Overall dimensions are 7.5" wide, 10.5" long, and 2.5" tall.

    I'll do my best with the sound clip.
