what model exhaust ?

does it have disks like these ?




these are 4" external disk system mufflers and are very adjustable.

S/T also made mufflers with 3" internal disks

and mufflers which are not adjustable.

you need to figure out what you have.

True the more discs you add the louder it gets, Im running 28 and its still quiet. But Im over the loud statement thing. Get the plate with the hole, that should satisfy you, but you will loose almost all your low end pulling power and gain it on the top end.

Bagman, the S/T open end cap is equal to 10 disks when making flow equations. ( the nightstick is slightly smaller, equal to 9... in the pic above, the open cap is a dummy, there is a closed cap inside)

28 disk ( or 18 disks and open end cap) will "flow the core" meaning that you are more open than the 2" core is able to flow--- this happens right about 28, so 30 35 or 40 will be essentially the same total flow.
