Re:Turbo Exhaust for a CRX
I'm wondering if that is the turbo name brand of muffler that we used to stock when I was working parts counter.. it was a $30 piece of ---- that used to blow apart.
I didn't think that there was one specific muffler sold for mid 60s chevy cars.. is this a stock muffler that was pulled off a junkyard car?

That muffler was like 35 bucks, I think he got it at pep boys. His car made good power with it, but I personally like something a bit louder, I say run 2 resonators and straight pipe and your good.
Turbos are mufflers :P

Re:Turbo Exhaust for a CRX
Yeah, I was wondering if they were that muffler, I used to sell them when I worked in auto parts like 6 years ago, they were cheap *** pieces of ----. One guy threw one on his 240 volvo (yeah he was a groupie, unlike me with full exhaust) and blew that POS apart. I had to refund him.
But hey, if they work for hondas, who knows. I always like exhausts on every car, but for some reason that whiny honda exhaust just gets annoying, I figure it's better to go silent.. not to mention it's harder to use some of todays common straight thru dual tipped mufflers on that generation of integras, since the pipes have an elbow from the muffler when directing the gasses out.

That whiney exhaust tone goes right away as soon as turbo goes on. It doesnt even sound like the same car. By chance have you watched any of HMT dyno vids? Some cars are NA and some are FI, you can really hear the difference.
