car sounds ricey-er every day
 

i got exhaust made at boost factory like 2 months ago (cause i cant weld for ----) anyways dude does nice work or whatever but he used a $20 cherry bomb turboII muffler which sounded good at first. my exuast is turbo back 2.5" no res or cat nothin. its not loud or at least wasent, now its getting raspy at like 2-3k range. sounds fine after that theres just a certain range it makes that farty sound i hate

is this just the cheap muffler going to ---- fast? should i get a high flow cat or a resinator ? or just a better muffler?

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

Most turbo cars even open downpipe has no rasp at all

Cherry bomb even worked for me n/a

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

I'm pretty sure cherry bombs wear out pretty quickly.

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

indeed they do. should have got a resonator and a magnaflow muffler yO!

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

This combination always works nice ;) or flowmasters too. I'm a fan of both companies

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

I had a cherry bomb turbo muffler, then it ripped when a rock hit the underside of it. After running it a few hundred miles, taking it apart after it broke to see the insides i cant say im impressed. I replaced it with a cheaper Thrush turbo muffler. While comparing the two of them the Thrush is better constructed. The cherry bomb has less holes for exhaust to go into "turbo straight through mode" and the ones it does look like somone took a drill too. The thrush has more holes that are slightly louvered. In both mufflers i found that they went to straight through, where the exhaust passes through the holes and into the next pipe that exits, too quickly. The thrush also has slight bulges on the ends where the holed pipes meet the wall of the muffler that prevents the gasses from slamming into a perpindicular surface. The thrush also is larger, and slightly just slightly quieter. I suggest a glasspack resonator before the turbo to kill some of the higher frequencies.

Niether turbo muffler provides great sound but kills some rasps you have when running open header and tones it down slightly. The flowmasters are more chambered and thats why they probably sound better.

thats the packing of the muffler "breaking in" haha

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

well i just picked on of these up at checker for $59 http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...ne=main&id=424

now my car is just loud. no rasp but loud. well probly a little cause the tip is shooting into my rear bumper cover a little and probly cause i need a resinator.

so do those cheap red tube ones rust out as fast as somone told me? cause im tryin to find one cheap, and if they rust i might just clamp it in instead of having it welded.

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

Those are known as glasspacks. On turbo apps, they burn to death pretty fast.

Try a Dynomax Super Turbo if you can catch them on sale, and use a turndown

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

The Dynomax Super Turbo I had on my car worked great...just very quiet. It had some tone to it, but not alot. Almost like a rumble down low, but when you started climbing up past 3500 rpm it pretty much got so quiet you could barely hear it. But believe it or not, it actually had better flow than some straight through design fart can that i slapped up there real quick after i caught the Dynomax on a rock...I had 14 psi with the dynomax, after with the fart can it would only boost to 10 psi.

3" Magnaflow High Flow Cat to 3" Performance Muffler. Quiet? Not silent, but I've gotten compliments on it and I can deal with it. I actually like the sound. I can get some good video of the sound if you're interested. I must say N/A it sounded horrible, but my buddy's 3" set up on his N/A 7th gen D17A2 is really nice sounding. :-\ Pshht, who knows.

Order a nice 24" resonator from summit. That ---- sounds bomb with a summit turbo muffler :y

BTW Cory- I do have that alternator bracket. If your buddy comes to my house he can have it.

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

I've been running a cherrry bomb on my integra for almolst three years now, it just recently (this winter) started to sound like a rice machine, but i've heard u can flip em around and get a lil more life out of them. Thay are only like 20 bux tho so its no big deal when they do burn out unless its like every other month

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

Aren't the louvers in one direction?

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

how does your turbo car have rasp?

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

man i dont know, but it does, its only at like 2500rpms for a sec but its loud and clear, the rest of the time it sounds pretty good. i just want it not loud.


colin - thanks man ill let him know, its actually the guy i sold the rollin chassis to that your motor came from

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

stop using cheap monkey ----.

end of thread.

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

I've got 2.25 all the way back with just a Thrush 2.25", 28"long glasspack. No cat, no muffler. I pulled off my dynomax in favor of a ricer fartcan, and after driving with it on gangsta-jdm-pointed down-angle for a few weeks (not to mention i couldnt get it to hang right) I replaced that section with just 2.5" piping. ---- sounds real good now, better than when i had any muffler on there. NA it would be dick, but boosted it has a nice rumble/gurgle to it. Kinda like a WRX, but gayer.

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

Cory I got the same magnaflow muffler on the shadow turbo with no cat or nothing but the muffler and its super quiet, I think you heard it when I stopped by. I'm sure some of that noise is coming from the exhaust hitting th bumper cover, I would definately get a cheap turn down. A resonator is a resonator and a cherry bomb is basically a resonator.

Re: car sounds ricey-er every day
 

The best sounding and one of the quietest setups that i have had is 3" from the turbo to a 3" x 24" resinator and them threw a 3" magnaflow with a dump down.
