I run Dynomax Super Turbos on everything I own.... but I haven't tried
one on a Spridget. GREAT flow with little noise... but the noise that is
left is a very nice tone.  (I don't particularly care for the Supertrap
tone.) On my last Spridget I used a glasspack installed backwards and a
Monza resonator tip.  Maybe a little loud for me these days. But back to
the Dynomax:

On a large V8 with cats, they're almost too quiet.  Without cats, it's a
nice rumble at idle... wonderful howl wound up.

I run dual 2" Super Turbos on my Corvair 140 (stepped up from the 1 3/4
u-pipes)  It's loud, but a nice loud.  And... performance is better than
it was with headers and open pipes.

For $26, I really don't care how long they last... but the ones on my
Corvair for the past decade have outlasted the rest of the exhaust
system.
