I am in the process of designing and building
a 321 SS tang muffler for my P-port RX8 engine.
I am using a $55 Mazdatrix RX8 flange.
Does anybody else want one as I am having the
SS water jet cut? It will look something
like this. If I don't hear from anybody
I am only going to make one and the price
will go up if you want one later.
If it turns out to be not quiet enough you should
be able to use a second Flow Master muffler under the
airplane to quiet it further. By that time the
energy in the exhaust should be far enough down
so the stock automotive muffler should live.
The RX8 engine is easier on mufflers to begin with.
I am not guaranteeing anything as the Wankel
always surprises :)

HI PAUL WHAT KIND OF PRICE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR
Jean Prudhomme
I won't know exactly until I get it done but my wild ass guess
is $400.

-what about 13b engine for rv7a thanks for the motormount
plans Keith-
That is down the road. I have an immediate need for my dyno
engine so I will do an RX8 muffler first. I will publish the
plans however for the 13 B and RX8 versions.
Each person has his own sets of skills and tools so some
may want to make their own. Speaking of that I am going
to Harbor Freight tomorrow and checking out a sheet
metal nibbler. If it looks like it can handle .065" thick
321 SS that may cut the cost for everyone as normally
321 SS must be water jet cut. Plasma cutting does a crappy
job on .065" thick SS. 2 mm or .078 seems to be the lower
limit.
