what about your header? did he send you the version you wanted? or am i thinking of someone else? hehe!

i've always wondered about how to put the exhaust together. do you just slip the end into each other and weld it? or does the piping stay together on its own?

well its a total of three pieces header muffler and the long pipe that goes from the header to the muffler fergot what its called but it already had a cat and resonator welded on so i just basically bolt everthing on and the muffler slides together and then bolt it tight

You don't weld it, it has two little fittings that you bolt together to keep them from separating. Originally there were no fittings and it still stayed together fine with the slip fits but he added the bolt for good measure.

I've never looked into it, and maybe this has been beaten to death before, but A) does the 'loop' design increase performance? B) If so, how?

Just wondering.

It's there to decrease the sound, it's essentially a straight through design with a loop, I couldn't give you the exacts on why, can't remember at the moment.

by passing through the cannister twice you are effectively doubling the cannister size which decreases the sound.

So it has no performance benefit, it's just quieter?

It's quieter than a straight thru design...which is one of the best performing designs...yet louder than chamber type setups.

It sounds very good. Quiet yet agressive sounding.

Here's a short video clip of the HyTech on my car revving.

(yes there is an extra space between the two w's but just remove that, I did it so the board doesn't create a link out of the URL)

Phase cancellation also comes into play. By repeataing the same sound exactly 180 degrees out of phase you completely cancel out all sound. As used in a twin-loop muffler this only works on certain resonant frequencies.

Wow, that must be a quiet exhaust. How can you tell when the car is on?
How are you mirroring the phase of the exhaust note by sending it through the cannister a second time?

do you work for bose?

Yeah, but how do you know if it the sound (on it's way back around) is exactly 180 degrees out of phase? I guess through testing and figuring out the right length and such..

Josh, Do you have a clip while under power, maybe on the dyno?
