Smussato Posted 25March, 2018 Report Share Posted 25March, 2018 Hey guys and girls, Could someone help me identify what muffler/exhaust set up I'm running. Ultimately I'm trying to work out what muffler I have so that I can work out if blocking an outlet will cause any issues. My plan is to fit a remote exhaust cut off valve to the driver side exhaust pipe so that I can close during highway driving/cruising and open when I want to hear the insane noise that comes from this car Any help would be much appreciated! From what I can tell it's a 2 in 2 out design. Here are some photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81SC Posted 25March, 2018 Report Share Posted 25March, 2018 The heat exchangers look like SSI. The muffler appears to be a Monty, judging by the shape of the end section. You're correct about it being 2 in 2 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The monty images I found online are all ridiculously shiny - mine looks very dull.. Could it just be wear? The muffler looks like a banana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 25March, 2018 Report Share Posted 25March, 2018 It's normal. They turn a dirty gold colour with use. Suggest you call Monty directly and ask about possibility of capping one outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smussato Posted 25March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 25March, 2018 It does look similar to this one. http://www.montymufflers.com/index.html#M22 The tips are 75mm. Although the model it's supposed to be on doesn't match my SC? I saw on another thread where "Monty" replied saying it was okay, but he doesn't recommend it for HP reasons.

Peter M Posted 25March, 2018 Report Share Posted 25March, 2018 Looking at the photos and the location of the spot welds indicates the location of the internal baffles are slightly different between the one outs and the two outs. Enought to cause a problem? I wouldn't think so as you'll have both outlets open at WOT and actuated by throttle bell rank mounted micro switch or low manifold vacuum. If you're curious you could try two dyno runs, first both open, second one temporarily capped and just check you AFMs while you're at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smussato Posted 26March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 26March, 2018 Looks like you're right As per your recommendation I sent Monty and email. His reply was that it was his M22. In response to it being capped, he said: The left and right sides meet and mix in the middle, then split . If you cap one side , not all the muffler is getting used, but all the gases will extract on one side. It will work, but the left and right side will not be balanced. Regards, Monty Monty Manufacturing Pty Ltd Email: sales@montymufflers.com Mobile: 0427 814 824 Therefore my next step will be buying one of these (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-76mm-Mannal-Electric-Exhaust-Catback-Downpipe-E-Cut-Out-Valve-System/152928459599?epid=25015833235&hash=item239b3f1b4f:g:ZPYAAOSwMgZamQfF) and placing it on the drivers side pipe for early morning/late night drives out of my area Thanks for your help guys! Out of curiosity though - has anyone else done something like this on theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 26March, 2018 Report Share Posted 26March, 2018 Before you go to the expense and effort of installing the valve, I suggest you block one outlet off with rag and tape as there is a fair chance that the reduction in noise might be a whole lot less than you think and the only answer is to replace the Monty with a Dansk version of the earlier style Porsche muffler. As an ex Monty muffler owner, quiet wasn't a word I'd use to describe them. Nice noise though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smussato Posted 26March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 26March, 2018 I literally just gave that a go but used a beetroot can with a worm clamp! haha the drone disappeared and everything was a lot less eventful... Idle noise wasn't reduced that significantly though... I'll take some noise measurements next chance I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
