Haha, good point... this is my 3rd turbo setup on a honda, I really just didn't like the sound. Although with no dump tube muffler it really didn't sound that bad, I'm guessing because of the wq placement being in the center and all.

Ya the first screen was stolen out of a customers grill, then I went with a smaller mesh. I want to deform a hks mushroom around it and be done with it. There really isnt any room for a filter because of the head light adjusters.

We sell them at our shop but I made this one out of mild steel, rolled out some mild steel caps, used a perforated core, mig'd and zip screwed it together. Packing is just plain home insulation. The ones we sell however use moose dirtbike muffler packing for a 2 stroke d bike.

I saw a muffler on a Porsche's dumptube at a local car show. I think the guy said it was for a Volkswagen or something.

Ya I think it cost me 10$ or so. I made 2 of them, one for my car and my buddies turbo rex.

I've seen a couple on a few different porsche's actually, they looked nice.
