Examples: PM-35-200

SSPM-35-200-14-11

First, the outside finish – what’s your personal preference?

PM = The muffler that started it all. These models feature our iconic, blue ceramic-painted aluminized steel finish.

SSPM = For a different look and some extra protection in a harsher environment, choose our 304 polished stainless steel finish.

The next digits represent body diameter: 35 = 3.5 inch, 40 = 4 inch, and so on and so forth. Porter Mufflers come in 2.5”, 2.75”, 3.0”, 3.5”, and 4.0” specifications with even a 5” and 6” body diameter measurement available on our race resonators. Not all body diameters come in all body lengths so pay close attention.

Next up is your inlet/outlet diameter. In our examples above: 225 = 2.25 inch and 200 = 2 inch. We also produce mufflers with inlet/outlet diameters of 1.75”, 2.5”, 3”, and 4”. Again, not all muffler models come in all sizes BUT we’re here to help so if you’ve got a need that doesn’t come out of the box, please give us a shout!

More numbers? You’re looking at body length. Our Original Porter Mufflers come with a ‘standard’ body length of 20 inches (overall length of 26 inches.) However, our Porter Muffler ‘shorty’ mufflers are exactly the same sauce but feature a 14” body length to accommodate applications that require a tighter fit. People love ‘em.

Lastly, Porter offers two options for your offset needs – either 11 degrees (in our SKU example above) or 17 degrees. If you are currently using a flat, oval-style turbo muffler and cannot change the pipe routing to accommodate, the ‘shorty offset’ muffler is the answer!
