    stock muffler inlet

    This may seem like a stupid question, but i have a question
    My stock muffler, which is still currently on my car
    is rusting off....
    i dont wanna do a full exhaust swap, i just want to replace the muffler, if at all possible just a bolt on one
    Ok heres my question:
    What size is the stock muffler inlet pipe on an 89 SE-i?

    Thanks

    i dont know if this is right for sure, but i believe its 1.75in pipe. it may even be 1.50in. if its one of those if i remember. i remember seeing clamp on mufflers that will be ok, but are usually not ment to last for too incredibly long. not as long as a stock muffler anyway. they usually have a flared end, i think i saw them at auto zone and pep boys. you could always measure the pipe if you cut the muffler off. here's an idea, how about putting a nice echo tip muffler on there? like a truck, lol.

    Same thing happened to me and I replaced it with a thrush universal turbo muffler with a 2 in inlet and 2.25" outlet. It actually sounds much deeper than the OE muffler and it only cost $18. I did have to use some adapters to get it fit the rest of the exhaust though. If the stickers didn't melt off I could tell you the exact adapters but your best bet would be to measure it with a tape measure and use adapters to make a universal muffler fit.

    I found it at National Auto and Advance. When I checked, stupid Pepboys only had flowmasters and glass-packs.
