Varex Muffler Review

[motorculture]

What you get in the box.

First Impressions
Opening the box you instantly see that care and thought has been taken when packaging the Varex muffler from the factory. Moulded foam pads are used to hold and secure the muffler and its accessories from moving around and making contact with each other or getting damaged during transit.



The Varex Muffler.
Once you have the Varex muffler out of the box and in the sun light. The workmanship and quality of the Varex can really be appreciated; the tig welds are nice and even and are up there with the best. Polished 304 Stainless Steel is used throughout the build from its tip, body casing, flange and even its perforated baffle tube. Sitting on top of the muffler away from flying debris and water is the Varex motor which controls a valve to shut or open inside the muffler via a remote control. What’s also interesting to note is Xforce has also gone the extra mile and put a heat resistant sleeve to protect the wiring harness from heat and damage. As if the Stainless steel wasn’t used enough the guts of the Varex (and Xforce) muffler consist of a 2 layer packing. The most inner layer lined wrapped with stainless steel mesh and its outer layer packed with fibre glass.





Along with the Varex muffler you get everything needed for the install. (Universal Varex muffler may require modifying your old exhaust to fit). Included in the box you get a wiring harness which uses the 12volt cigarette lighter as its power source, a control box and remote control (current gen Varex only include 1 remote). Installation is made very simple by following the included Varex manual. With less wiring to do then a CD deck. Most backyard mechanics should be able to figure this part out in no time.



Misc. items
Correctly sized polished stainless steel brackets are also included to help make mounting the muffler easier. Metal exhaust gasket, nuts and bolts are all standard issue items you would find in any reputable exhaust shop.

That is an amazing piece of equipment, what is the motor about?
From muffled to straight through? How do the handle being submerged of mud and dust?
Like you said very well made, the welds are perfect.

happy to report that Xforce has not had any problems yet with 4x4 guys using the varex muffler.

only thing to note is they do not recommend the motor be submerged into water since its not water proof.
