No, I didn't think it was necessary as exhaust gases entering the muffler chamber would always take the path of least resistance and given that the lagging would be repacked around the new pipework then the exhaust gases would naturally want to flow through the pipe and not out of it. I've been using the modified boxes for a few months now and the sound/performance is a vast improvement over the original set up.couchflyer said:Interesting, did you seal the openings where you cut the tubs from the muffler?
Thanks
