Spintechs
« on: March 13, 2025, 05:26:48 AM »
Someone on here has these mufflers but I don't remember who, whoever it is, can you let me know how you like the sound?  I am looking to add these in place of my pypes exhaust.  one reasons is clearance but also, I don't really like how the pypes sound.

I had a pair on my 76 Trans Am back when it had the 400 and it sounded amazing. I don't recall the model of muffler, but it was a true dual exhaust with an x-pipe. Was one of the best sounding cars I've had.  :cool:

Planning on putting the mild spintechs in the Mustang, from my research they are well made and I like the sound seems to be pricey though. Trying to keep ground clearance in the Trans Am so I am maintaining the cross over muffler with true duals, I believe the spins hang a little low. Lemme know if you go with them and enjoy them.

I have them.  They sound very good but yes the two mufflers hang down pretty low.  Not running the transverse setup - kind of regret that sometimes.  They’re not overly obnoxious and I haven’t noticed any drone issues.

Spins are no larger than any other muffler with a 4" depth, so they won't hang any lower than any other muffler.  They also make shallower ones, the ones I am getting, the 6000F is about 3.25" in depth.  The issue isn't the muffler, its how low our cars sit and where the muffler hangers are. :-? 

I am putting a hanger right into the floor pan under the rear seats which will allow me to pull the mufflers up as close to the floor as I want.  I may have to add a heat barrier onto the mufflers but I'll see how it goes.  I think with the shallower muffler case, and additional hanger, I can get them to hang no further down than my subframe connectors are.  I hate to go into the floor but it has holes there already from a previous owner.  Seems to me that without the transverse muffler, there is too much weight hanging and the mufflers work their way down lower as time goes on.

My car is not that low but even with a transverse muffler I sometimes drag the clamps if I go over a big whoop. I could never run normal mufflers.

Agreed it’s a matter of going transverse or not for clearance.  Nothing special about the size of the Spintechs at all.
