So i pulled out my friends good ol'
90 dx hatch with b16a
aftermarket restricted muffler

We were running a msd 2-step setup,
as i was pulling out to line up
i was in 1st gear while holding the 2-step
(set up at 3k rpm)
i released it to take off to the line
*POP* sounded like a big backfire
suddenly "MMMMMmmmMMMmmmM"
sounded like i was running straight pipe
I knew i blew something and it wasn't good.

After the race (i won) i pulled over to check out what i blew.
Looked under the hood, everything was fine.
Went behind the car and the muffler can was hanging pretty low.

OPPS! I BLEW THE MUFFLER!!!!

here are the pictures of the night after, i pulled it off and installed a new muffler on.

Lesson learned

 

at least you didnt blow the welds on the intake manifold, now THAT would have been trouble.

 

lmfao

been there done that, backfired while dyno tunning a zx6r, split the can open just about like that.

 

LOL, wow. Time to go with some name brand mufflers.

I never knew that mufflers can blow up Now I know

 

yeah, i did that with an MG i had years ago... sucked, 'cause the muffler blew out on top and lit the carpet on fire under my ***!

(in US market MGB's, the exhaust system runs under the driver's floor pan)

 

Wow that muffler f'n exploded
I wish mine could do that

I've always wanted to know what the inside of a muffler looks like. Now I know. And knowing is half the battle. G.I.Joe
