SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE

QUIET Reduces the sound emissions of the sled

78 dBA or less in J-192 Sound test (goal of 73 dBA)

SIMPLE MAINTENANCECatalyst must be replaceable, no other maintenance needed

Cat. replacement takes less than 15 Minutes

PERFORMANCE Doesn't increase backpressure

Less than 110% of stock backpressure

COMPACT DESIGN Fits in sled without modification 9" Deep, 18" Tall, 13" Wide

LIGHT WEIGHT Doesn't increase weight Less than 16.76lb (110% of stock muffler weight)

MUFFLER BASICS• Two Main Functions

• Reflection

• Most Effective

• Destructive Interference

• High Back Pressure

• Restriction

• Most Common

• Cheapest

• Absorption

• Simple with Low Back Pressure

• Low Damping
