I think the conclusion was that while the
SpinTech did the job, it:
1. Was pretty heavy - I think about 16 lbs
(could be off on the weight)
2. Very Un-aerodynamic with a flat plate
facing into the wind (probably its worst sin)
3. Its cost was over $200.
The HushpowerII was reported as a bit louder than
the SpinTech, but was considerably more aerodynamic, a bit lighter and
cheaper.

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

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.
