So....I am putting a resonator thingy on the car to quiet it down. 3.5"
I have a spiral on hand and would need to buy the bullet.
Both are the right length with some trimming to keep things tucked nicely.
So, what about the restriction of either. Is the spiral going to cause a drastic decrease in flow or is the difference marginal in 3.5" diameters as compared to the bullet....?
Just on looks and my experience with the bullet here's what I am thinking:
Bullet has minimal restriction and decent low-rpm baffling, but is truly a blow-thru with minimal turbulence as high flows.
The Spiral looks to offer good baffling at all rpm, but could be a stove pipe at higher flows.
I've heard from some though that the spiral still flows comparatively to the bullets.
Someone throw me a clue here.
