So I was just wondering about what muffler I've got on my exhaust, so I took a couple pics and made a couple sound clips. I measured the muffler and the body is about 17 1/2 inches, including pipes 24 inches. So then I looked at some Flowmasters on Jeg's and it seems like its a Delta Flow 50 series type C (offset/center) 3" in/out, body and overall measurements are close to the same. What do you think?

How bout that smoke eh?

 

they look ugly, out of place, and heavy

replace ASAP....especially if they ARE flowmaster....

also, do not rev your engine a lot when its cold, not good for any engine....and i hope its cold with that smoke, otherwise youre looking at a blown engine/turbo

 

the car was pretty well warmed up when i was revving it, i did the rev video about 5 minutes after the idle video, and the car was running the whole time in between.

 

thats a lotta smoke ..... dunno what to tell you....does it smoke like that after driving for a while? 5 mins isnt a lot to warm the car up though by idling

 

yea it smokes like that when its fully warmed up. cool huh?

 

i wouldnt be too happy

 

I got the car for free... I'm not too worried, and I'm gonna do a rebuild anyway.

 

ah...well then that is a different story

i just found that out looking at the pics

i almost threw up btw....the first set is like nasty fat women porno....or that rotten.com ****

 

hahaha

 

yea that white smoke can't be good

 

SOUNDS GREAT

 

i think it sounds pretty nice too.

 

Sounds better around 7k, the smoke smells more like burning rubber though usually

 

Burning rubber? smells like fuel to me

Well, its more of a unburnt fuel/something else smell... not exactly sure what it is but there is an abondance of smoke and it doesnt seem to go away most the time =\

 

I think im still waiting on someone to send me their stock exhaust, this is my flomaster 40 series with a glasspack btw. The glasspack was a must with where the flowmaster was mounted...

see my ghetto exhaust thread for more picts

 

Sounds good but get rid of it. Turbos hate the baffled style flowmaster mufflers. There was a huge discussion about it on the turbobuick forum a few months ago, they will actually rob you of hp.

 

Yea I'm gonna get a new exhaust system eventually. Probably with a magnaflow 5x8 oval muffler. Single 3" in dual 2.5" out. Or the Racing Beat full system.. but thats a $400 difference in price.

 

if ur gonna get a rebuild .. i still wodlnt reccomend driving it.. my friend bought a rx7 last month ..it smoked alot like urs and he kept drivin and now it dont run.. plus if u score the housings at all and they resurface them the motor wont last as long and ud probly have to find a rebuild with a housing that hasent been rebuilt.. thats juss in my own openion and sum friends felt the same way ..plus this guy from a shop but ya juss lettin u know if ur seals r going then be carefull even if u plan on gettin rebuild..

 

Not drive a turbo RX-7? I don't understand?

 

hey kenteth, i might be selling my estock pretty soon.
