GOT AN INTERESTING TEXT MSG TODAY

[Redback]

From the Vortex mongrel, i say this because, he said he would come around and measure too see what size we needed, no we didn't ask, he offered, well it seems it was all bull****e, the text said.

I don't work for Vortex anymore as of 2/9/08

No new supplier info, WEBSITE HAS VANISHED, can't contact him, have no idea who else sells them.

I did find TaipanXP and they will will supply a complete system, but will not sell just the muffler alone, the guy was very helpful though and stated that to get the full benifit from the muffler you need the complete system, larger intercooler and full power chip upgrade, but at $1300 for the system alone it's a bit beyond us ATM.

Spoke to 3 different large well known Landy repaiers today, all have said 3 completely different things on the Muffler, one even said only taking the car back too standard will drop your EGTs.

So what next, i don't know who too believe now, what pi$$es me off the most is not him buggering off, but he made us buggerise around thinking he was coming with the muffler, after all he offered we didn't ask him to come around, the mongrel, why do that, why not just say i'm closing shop you'll need to get it from somewhere else, why lead us on like that.

Anyway back to the drawing board:(

At least you didn't get the one sent out to every Rescue Paramedic in NSW saying "Thanks for your good work - we're giving your jobs to the Firies and you can go back to General Duties." :o

Still sounds cruddy mate, but look at it this way. At least he didn't go bust after you had forked over your hard earned...

Yes true, i guess

No not them, i spoke too TaipanXP he didn't mention Berrima, he did mention B Davis though.

This was an active website yesterday:twisted:

Davis aren't listed on their webpage, Berrima are. Maybe it's out of date.Taipan XP - Distributor List (http://www.taipanxp.com.au/distributorlist.html)

Although rescue should've been done by fire from the beginning :angel: :wasntme:

But's that's another arguement entirely :)

I was wondering if I would get a nibble... :p

It is another argument, for another forum. :)

Nothing in there about the Vortex muffler, their muffler is different, as is a few of this type, claiming 10 to 25% more of everything.

Cherry Bomb Vortex

Rocket Power Muffler

Vortex Muffler

TaipanXP Vortex Exhaust Systems

TaipanXP Enhanced Exhaust Systems

Aero Turbine Exhaust:eek:

Seems to be a few of these types, a bit like fuel saving devices:angel:

Looking at all the info, seems it all started with the Rocket Power Muffler.


* STREAMLINE DESIGN allows easy gas flow with LOW TURBULANCE.

Better heat dissipation and no water catchment areas ensuring minimal
corrosion and very long life.

* The VORTEX created in the exhaust system evacuates the combustion chamber

more efficiently to a POINT OF VACUUM on most vehicles allowing the engine
to rev freely.

ROCKET POWER MUFFLERS - MORE THAN A MUFFLER


HOW THE MUFFLER CAME ABOUT. - by Brian Will

We have always been interested in engine and car performance to enhance our drag racing capability
when it was 1/8 mile & then rally track driving. While I was setting up Engine performance, 1 always
found exhaust systems to be of vital importance. e.g. low down power, or top end revs needed different
size & length systems. Street cars with straight through mufflers had top end power & rev's,
while hollow boxes with offset pipes, had low down power & no revs. These were some of the options
available in sports style mufflers, which to my mind were inadequate.

After some years in the automotive game and considerable experience with exhaust systems,
I decided there must be a better way.

First we needed a muffler without square colliers inside so that moisture and pollutants would
not accumulate.

Secondly we didn't want exhaust gases to reverse flow causing turbulence & creating unnecessary
back pressure

So eventually the Rocket Power concept was born with its unique solid tubular construction
and special conical ends The inner cylinder has domed ends which absorb the gas pulses and
deflects the air flow through the swirl tubes.The SWIRL TUBES rotate the exhaust gases into
a powerful VORTEX.
Thus the name TURBINE EXHAUST SYSTEM. The gas vortex generates a gas flow from the
combustion chamber through a suction process, rather than a back-pressure process.

The end result is a brand new Technology in exhaust muffler systems providing
excellent low-end torque & snappy throttle response due to the streamline flow design.




INSTALLATION


In most cases simply replace the standard muffler in the standard position.Preferred place
is situated before the diff, which also ensures sufficient heat to dry the muffler from moisture.

It is recommended to install a resonator before the muffler or at the rear, if this is not possible.
( RPM resonators are available from this Shopping Trolley )

The Muffler has a nice sounding note a little like the PORSCHE. I suggest that in some V8's,
especially short wheel base vehicles. install the DOUBLE INSULATED RPM MUFFLER to
ensure the noise level is well down.
The RPM Muffler EXHAUST EXTRACTOR system can be fitted to most PETROL - GAS
AND DIESEL ENGINES. In fact we have had superb results with diesels in the 4-wheel drive
market but there is an untapped market for tractors and earth moving machinery where pulling
power is premium. We are looking forward to breaking into this market, as the results are likely
to be quite remarkable based on all the data and experience that we have gained so far.
