Muffler Question
Could someone please help me and tell
me what brand of muffler I could buy that would be under $200 and still give decent horsepower? I've looked out some magnaflows but the guy at a muffler told me that they break in half at the welding seems. I've also looked at some aerospeed mufflers. Are they any good? |
please forgive me for forgetting to
adding all the words.:rolleyes: at instead of out* muffler shop* |
Ok look. I'm fixin to take my car to maxi muffler to
get a muffler put on it. What size pipes should I get put on? 2" or 2 1/2"? I'm even gonna replace the pipe running from the header to the catalytic converter. Also, I wanted to know if that if i just decided to just get a straight 2" or 2 1/2" running straight from my header back to the end of the car if it would give the car more power than $150 muffler that i'd have to buy. The catalytic converter is gonna be left on. Someone told me that i'd better keep it on because the car needs so much back pressure. Would the car sound good without a muffler? if not better? Sorry bruce if this isnt in the right category. Wasnt sure about it. |

Sorry bruce if this isnt in the right category. Wasnt sure about it. A muffler will help, but you really shouldn't expect a big gain, because you'll be VERY lucky if you get one. You don't need back pressure, you need the exhaust gas to move as fast as it can. which is why 2 1/2'' pipe is too big for such a small engine. Pseudo can explain this better than me. I know what I'm trying to say but don't think I can explain it clearly enough. It would probably be too loud and attract the attention of alot of cops with no muffler. |

hey k dawg, do you have aim?
i tried to pm you but your box is full. |
You can find all types of mufflers on Ebay ... for like 50 bux ... make sure you get something that fits in the bumper opening just right .. this is what I did

ok, thanks menace.
i think thats what im gonna do then is put a glass pack on it. Much cheaper than a racing muffler. I just hope that it sounds as good as you say it does.:) so a glass pack with a straight pipe. right? 2.5"? Should i replace the pipe running from the header to the converter too? |
My PM box is empty now, guys....

John the 1.5 has 2 O2 sensors ... one in the exhaust manifold and the other in the downpipe....
Bruce Originally posted by Protegé Menacé from what I understand, you DONT need backpressure on our older cars with ONE O2 sensor. the newer cars with 2 O2 sensors need backpressure for them to work, with no backpressure it cant sense properly and will mess up ECU stuff. But you dont want a big exhaust, because the puffs wont go straight back but will like crowd in wierd directions in the tube if its too big, ill try to find or remake the pic thatw as posted here a while ago. I would say have a shop build you a straight pipe with glass pack for 150 bucks like I had made. sounds SO much better than any fart can, and is a true straight pipe... you wont see many HP gains from exhausts though so dont be betting on that ;) |
Hey John, do you think you could
maybe record the sound of your exaust system and post it? I'm really eager to hear what it sounds like.:) A buddy of mine just got a glass pack, its red. not sure what brand but he said he'll give it to me. Does it matter what kind? |
i have aim.
my sn is bubbashane7502 |
ok yall, i really need yall for this.
I need to know whether or not I should go with a straight pipe with a glass pack with a tip added on or to go with a racing muffler.:D Please reply with either straight or muffler.:) I really need yall's input so please help. Thanks |
ok that's what ill do then.
so all i need is: a $20 cherry bomb and they'll provide the rest? [pipes and the tip] how much do you think the tip cost? my cousin has those same tips welded on his monte carlo. |
hey john, what's your aim name?
