Thought this was interesting:
Very interesting, far different and complex internally than I thought.
Does anyone know how much the stock muffler weighs?
I was not expecting thatThought this was interesting:
the CSS mufflers (and TCR) have also been cut up before and the innards shown. Basically remove ~half the piping that doubles back and forth. @AdamSheikh might have that photo around.U know what. I bet the tcr and club sports have the same muffler. Minus all the insulation
Found it.Try the soundakator off to see what the muffler is doing. I turned mine to 35% after CSS install. A lot more sound from the rear with new muffler.
Your does sound different than my older OE muffler. Hard to tell 100% from video. I will attach some pictures below showing the older stock muffler and the CSS muffler that someone cut open. I know the 7.5 has larger tips so maybe they made some more adjustments. As you learn more please share. Interesting!
What we need is someone to cut open a 7.5 if end up with it spare after a muffler replacement. Liked your video - unique touch!
Stock Muffler - notice internal chambers - poor flow.

CSS Muffler cut open. Note the flow thru design that a golf ball could pass thru. Also the extra resonator tube.

Outward CSS design similar to Mk6 but I think internals different.

Thnx! Yeah it’s not just insulation removal. It’s totally differentFound it.
Easy answer: Because video isn't of the same muffler that we have. Look at stock muffler shape from avenali or the linked thread. It's a square suitcase. The one in the OP is 5 sided. Don't know what OP muffler that is.so why are the internals and external shape different between the muffler in the video vs one is the other thread?
