Which brings me to ask - what ultimately happened to the Spintech? I'm sure this was discussed in detail when you made the switch but I was off the list at the time.

Mine is brown too (it was the painted version so no surprise) and you can see daylight through the two sets of perforated cones when brand new.

Mine has gotten louder so pulled it off and looked at it.  You can see light throught the holes in the cones.  The cones appear to be ok.  Have about 75 hours on it.  The exterior looks as though it has been overheated, brown chalky look.

Thanks, Bill
 
Yes, I have two but they may be sharing the load, so was interested if any other single muffler use was having a problem.  I know Tracy has not, but then he's flying the Renesis which is undoubtedly easier on the mufflers.

Ed,

I have had my Hushpower installed for 200+ hours, and no problems.  I have the NA block with splitters, so I suspect that helps with the longevity issue.

Anyone else having a problem with the Hushpower II other than Jason?
 
I have two on my installation and they have worked fine (so far) and I have the turbo block without the exhaust splitters making for a pretty powerful exhaust pulse.
