    Final Exhaust Discussion for me

    Welp, its finally time for me to get my exhaust setup done. As we all know and despise me for, ive been looking at rice cannons, and i finally said, screw it, rice cannons stand out too much, cops already follow me down the street (no joke, county mounties in my area are assholes, had one follow me for no fewer than 2 miles trying to get me to do something illegal, for a mile of that tailgating like a SOB) and i decided to look at real mufflers. I love the way my stock exhaust looks, and one of my friends (92 Dodge Stealth) recently had a muffler welded on his stock system, a flowmaster. It sounds great! anyway, this is the muffler that i found that looks best for our cars, i can pick it up for 75 shipped on ebay, and my 2.25" catback piping will be custom made by a well trusted shop, recommended by several friends.

    anyway, heres the muffler
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94244...temZ8009846840

    ill have tips welded on by him as well, but it shud look damned good, almost like my stock SE-i muffler input please, tips, pointers etc.

    Re: Final Exhaust Discussion for me

    magnaflow super turbo would be my choice, they flow a little better then the flowmaster.

    Re: Final Exhaust Discussion for me

    looks good. i've never tried one, but i personally would be interested in how it looks size wise and sounds as well. i want to upgrade my exhaust presently, but don't want to have to resort to the paceshitter system because i hear the muffler sucks as far as sound goes.

    Re: Final Exhaust Discussion for me

    i cant give anybody a full rating on it until after i get my car running right

    however, yes, it was fully custom, built from the following:
    - pace setter header
    - universal 2.25" res
    - test pipe (with o2 insert)
    - 2 4' sections of 2.25" pipe
    - 1 90* U bend

    i recomend you get 2 90* U bends, i had some problems towards the end (notice the horrid angle on it) without a 2nd one

    i like it, but it wasnt exactly easy to peice together at school with classes going on

    Thumbs up Re: Final Exhaust Discussion for me

    i just have a strait pipe where my muffler was and the car isnt as loud as those stupid "rice cannons", it does howevr have a big beefy sound to it instead of that cackly crap every one else uses. sounds better then my friends crx, it mad him nervus to go mess around at the track. but, if you need to be really quiet run the muffler, also if it has dual out puts, you can really play some tricks on stupid people with what looks like true duals. man now i want to do my exousht better. :smokin:
