need help choosing muffler

**86accordlxi-fi** · 11-25-2002, 07:53 AM

ok guys, my brother is giving me a 100$ limit for a muffler with or without tip for my christmas present, i cant decide what kind to get. the mufflers i have found so far are all at this website. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/racinglab/unmuf.html. if anyone knows where any other sites with better deals, please let me know

yea get a dynomax super turbo from www.summitracing.com

**dXsquared** · 11-25-2002, 01:34 PM

get a bomb style one from that site. I think they are really low toned muffler. The regular mufflers are good too but much more quiet. They are good prices. Get what you like.

wow they are much cheaper then i thought, if i get the dynomax turbo muffler and a $30 tip can anyone tell me about the loudness of it, and backpressure and stuff, thanks.

Dynomax altho cheep has often proved it's self a good muffler in many magazines it does reduce back pressure well while also maintaining exhaust velocity. I have also noticed it is not too loud with stock exhaust equipment and provides a nice low tone not a dirt bike or a wet fart.

the dynomax is a good choice but it isnt very loud. i had a 2 inch one and i had no cat or resonator. It is low and performance sounding... but not loud at all! If u are into loud, just run a cat and no muffler! thats a real low tone and very loud!

not loud at all? i mean i want a muffler that is loud when in want it to be loud (fast acceleration), not all the time

**86accordlxi-fi** · 11-25-2002, 03:06 PM

**89accordboi** · 11-25-2002, 03:19 PM

**socal3rdgen** · 11-25-2002, 03:25 PM

i see in your sig it says dynomax turbo muffler. you dont want that you want the dynomax SUPER turbo muffler. just thought id let you know.they do see both kinds but the super turbo is better.

**89accordboi** · 11-25-2002, 03:34 PM

yeah whatever im a nub

**staticpat** · 11-25-2002, 03:50 PM

what the shit are you talking about the dynomax isnt loud?? if you mean it doesnt sound like a fart can, than yeah.

take your resonator off, and that thing is hells ass loud. but its low and smooth toned.

**89accordboi** · 11-25-2002, 03:55 PM

yeah so on my stock 89 LX i an just go buy a muffler and tip and have them weld it on? what about the inlet size, does it matter?

**LIL'LXi** · 11-25-2002, 04:58 PM

I just had a dynomax put on my '87 lxi. muffler was $38 took it to my local muffler shop cut my old one off welded up the new one, no problem. I'm running 2.25 pipe no resanator , sounds pretty good. I'm running 2.25 inlet to the side and 2.25 outlet in the center.

wow your bro is nice... I only get a punch in the arm for waking him up too early on christmas.

**86accordlxi-fi** · 11-25-2002, 07:06 PM

i got a fireball "tear drop" muffler for $70.00 off of eBay.
you guys think that would sound good on an 86 accord lxi

***A20A1*** · 11-25-2002, 07:18 PM

5-Zigen?

**86accordlxi-fi** · 11-25-2002, 07:30 PM

yeah, i believe it is

1988starter · 11-25-2002, 08:37 PM

My dynomax is loud enough with my header highflow cat and 2.25 mandrel. My parrents alaways know when I am on my way home.

**anchovies** · 11-25-2002, 11:21 PM

The 5zigen fireball has a slightly higher pitch note to it. Not to my taste. But I didn't hear one in a 3geez.

i have a fart pipe on stock piping. most of my neighborhood knows when i get home.

**89accordboi** · 11-26-2002, 07:40 AM

lmao is it really a fart can tho? what kind do u have D:

**Grant2k** · 11-26-2002, 08:45 AM

Mine is a RActive. it sounds good and deep, it's just pretty loud. i call it a fart pipe if it is big shiney and loud. what is your definition of a fart can?

**accord19882002** · 11-26-2002, 11:05 AM

If you're looking for low and pretty loud for cheap just run around with the cat and no muffler. I had mine like this for about 2 years. You can just unbolt the pipe that runs under the rear axle and to the muffler letting your pipe end in front of the right rear wheel. But whatever you do, don't put a header on it, remove the cat and resonator, and continue to run around with no muffler. This makes conversation a no-no.
