Been searching around and cant really find much information, basically i just replaced my 3" zorst to something a little better but my muffler is almost hollow after 10years of use, and has an annoying tinny noise on idle

Anyone know the prices etc for getting a muffler re-insulated?

Will be calling around for quotes today

cheers

I thought I'd reply for ya mate since no one else will!

I've actually got the same prob! mines bit old too and is very tinny.

I didn't know you could get them re-insulated though!? Cause I like the one I have, don't want to change it find the new one is crap!

I got quoted about $300 for a new muffler, nice looking but not sure if I'll do it.

I might ring around to see if anyone re-insulates now. I'll keep you posted if I find out.

We are in different states but at least I can give you a price I get quoted.

Good luck!

      You need one of those automated sprays that puffs a nice small every 15 minutes in their room. Except swap the nice smell for chloroform...

      Vag Coil Diy loom wire guage selection

      Don't step down power supply size, maintain it the whole way. It's how I'd do it. OR, Id have one feed, with one joint that splits out to six smaller gauge wires that go to each coil. I wouldn't add joins like stepping from 12 to 16, at the first two coils, as if you try to continue that fashion, each joint will introduce a voltage drop. In theory, earths should be the same size as power feeds, however in this case the main power needs to be bigger due to the average size current. So the next question is, how much current do these coils actually need?

      I think Murray is onto it. It's sounding like either it's a soft block, not long enough block, OR if you're chasing waves, you're going in the direction of the waves, instead of across them. Rotate your sanding pattern by 45 degrees is something to try. You said you're going in an X, so now instead, from the same perspective, do a "t" instead.   If you're not able to have the block sit on top of two high points, and not touch the low point between them, you'll never get it flat.

      Hi, i’m making Vag coil loom for rb25det, can anyone confirm the wire guage i’m using for power supply in diagram is enough for supply not too small for loom? For earth do i need to follow the same procedure or i can use only 16awg wire for all coil and their connecting wire following to the plug?

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?
