What do you think?

Hey toyota guys and gals,

Thought I'd start up a thread to see if I can gather any information on some stuff that I've seen around the place.

First one: http://www.vortexexhausts.com.au/

Vortex Muffler.. ?? I saw an add in last year's Motor Hot Tuner magazine. It is an Australian company based in Brisbane. Their claims:

"The VORTEX high performance muffler easily outperformes all other high performance exhausts."

"No other exhaust system on the market gives a power increase like the VORTEX high performance muffler."

"The VORTEX muffler will change the way your car sounds, will increase your fuel economy by up to 25%, while offering you more power and better torque responses at the drive wheels - GUARANTEED!!!"

As well as:

Better heat dissipation

Less exhaust pressure

Less carbon build-up

Longer catalytic converters life

So... Anyone heard about these? or better yet.. Does anyone have one installed on their car?

Are they really willing to put money where their mouth is?

I would be interested in testing their claim that "No other exhaust system on the market gives a power increase like the VORTEX high performance muffler."

STOP PRESS - Just called them directly. these 'muuflers' are not for petrol cars at the moment. They hope to have something out by christmas time though. Taipanxp is the company that have just taken over vortex and they are currently rebuilding the website also.

Their current range of systems are only applicable for diesel and turbo deisel applications :(

have a look at www.taipanxp.com.au to see the technology that is used and how they have only really delt with turbo'd or race cars :D

Yeah, funny there's no Dyno comparison charts on their site to prove their claim. <_<

[MR22ZZ]

all their claims also have an 'up to' clause :P
