unless akrapovic comes out with the swirl type its worth buying...but price tag pay thru yr nose haha

As far as explanation goes, the swirling one suppose to aid gas flow faster by swirling..

perhaps it makes the exhaust gas exits the muffler faster? kinda like a tornado style?

Swirling Bullet Center Box by Omega
Part of the reason of the loudness / scream like F1 is suspected from the center bullet box. I call it a swirling bullet. Sorry to picture.

The swirling bullet is just a term I made up, don't know the official tech term. It's simply a mid-box silencer kind of thing, but the internal is a swirling shaped perforated tube with fibers inside the walls. Imagine a torque screw kind a look.

Personally I think (from my studies of acoustics) that the physical swirling is only cosmetics and does not do anything to improve performance. In fact the difference between air-speed on the swirl and in center flow is so great that a high pitched scream may be generated.

Since the air-speed difference is so great between the swirl wall and center flow, in reality we "assume" that the true air-flow is only the center section without the swirl. i.e. smaller diameter pipe.

Some times I think if the scream I predict is true that means sound energy is produced and this energy must come from some where and is not free, hence I may have lost some engine power

Don't know may be I think too much. Well, I may be thinking too simple previously. Because that swirling shape, where it's number of turns per distance over xx amount of trunking in (mm) is a function of wavelength which is frequency which is engine rpm.

There is also the issue of steady state air flow versus variable and not to mention the engine valves overlap backwards into the throttles and backwards into the air filter. As this matola muffler is only at it's loudest with full throttle 50% to full throttle.

Oh, well, just ignore me.

vr2turbo is dat a picture taken from a locally made exhaust?

imho as long as the majority of reputable aftermarket exhaust makers dont start making swirl type exhausts then it might not be worth it for us to be bothered with it as well

this i think ranks somewhere up there with surbo and gang
