mufller
i am in a incredible need for a muffler. the one i wanted was sold out. and will be till late december. im looking for something that is perferable under $140, stainless steal.. and not 324234" big. i was going to get a flowmaster, but i heard they sound like **** with rotaries. is this true? can someone please point me to something. ive looked hard and come up clueless. i also want it to be kind quiet. i would buy the powerpulse muffler but its just too much

If you don't like those borla is also very good quality, and they like rotorys too...

yea, i love what you have done with your car. hopefully, one day, i will have an engine like that under the hood. do you have any pictures of the magnaflow on your car? do you have a tip on it? ill be running a racing beat header, catco catalytic converter, and 2.25" piping into a muffler, which is my only setback as of now. how does it sound, dead? raspy? i just dont want that, really bad metallic sound you header some honda's at high rpm's.

The Flowmasters and "turbo" type mufflers sound crappy with rotaries, and the glasspacks sound good until they burn up, which is pretty darn fast (a month, if you're lucky). I'd go with the stock muffler, myself. Cheap, durable, easy to find, sounds okay, too. Good luck with it! -WG

Yeah, shutup kid.
I say go on e-bay, get an apex'i n1 "style" muffler. Like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1869583106
I'm using one of these, have been for 1/2 a year, doesn't quiet much without the silencer in. I have no cats or presilencer with this on the back with the silencer in, and it's not too loud. 2.5'' inlet, 3.5'' tip, completely straight through, full stainless steel. Mine cost $130 total, including install.

I have a ractive on mine. My car is pretty loud (header no cats 2.5 inch pipe all the way to muffler). It annoys people, I think thats why I like the way it sounds so much. Even the guys on the harleys look at me crazy.

Got Boost?
Mike, I'm curious about Magnaflow mufflers, which one did you get? I want to get a strait through type muffler, but I'm a little wary of the types available. Are all of Magnaflows strait through, or Chambered?

Magnaflow mufflers really suck. Everyone around here has them. After a while they start to crackle and sound bad. But i guess its all about your opinion. HKS and Greddy make the best exhaust. You get what you pay for. Expect more than 150 for a decent sounding muffler.

The Monza one will be fine, although that's not much of a bargain either.

Don't say Racing Beat cause I don't have the money for that and if I did I wouldn't put it on this car. I know everyone says Monza sucks, but would it be good for a few years at least?
