[alfa] RE: Ansa New Twin Tipped Muffler. Spider

["Korolyshyn, Dan Mr. DAC DPW ENGR RESOURCE MGMT BR" <dan.korolyshyn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unless the Ansa twin exhaust has changed,
I suggest that before you delude yourself with the 
"free flow" Ansa hype, you do the math and check the
cross sectional area of the exhaust tubes, not the tips,
and the cross sectional area of the main exhaust pipe.
In the Ansa twin tipped exhaust that I had on my Spider,
I found that the exhaust tube cross sectional area was
less than the cross sectional area of the incoming exhaust 
pipe; so much for Ansa style free flow; but the quality of
the muffler was indeed very nice.  For a real free flow
system I changed my tail section to a Stebro stainless
steel straight pipe which greatly enhanced the sound
quality and of course it offers optimal resistance to
flow and corrosion.
