Muffler Question
 

Ok On my turbo civic im going to run my exhaust out to the middle of the car. What is a good midway muffler to us to quiet the car down but not mess up the flow and loose hp? Thanks

Re: Muffler Question
 

A lot of cats run the Summit Racing Turbo Muffler. I rock the Magnaflow Muffler. Doesn't matter just as long as it's as big in and out really.

word... B&B Autoparts had some nice turbo mufflers for like 25 bucks in stock, not sure if they were the real thing on knock offs but those would get the job done

Re: Muffler Question
 

Don't run a chambered muffler. If you can't see right through it, it is a bottleneck.

Dynomax welded ultraflo is a great unit, deep without being buzzy on a turbo car. As far as a midway down the pipe muffler... meaning you plan on running another one at the end?... I'd go with a regular old resonator or glasspack.

If you don't like exhaust drone (I don't) putting a turndown at the end of the muff to direct the sound at the concrete does a good job.

Basically I want to run a open down pipe, well to like the shifter but its to loud now to drive around. so I wanted a good muffler that doesnt loose hp but brings the sound down some. Thanks everyone

Get an LS1 throttle body ($30) and either a low psi wastegate actuator (early 80's Saab, 4 to 5.5 psi) or a length of cable that you can yank it open with. The TB is aluminum, so your downpipe needs to be a smidge long to avoid thermally ------- it. Just join stock exhaust/muffler in right before the TB, golden.

your not planning on having the exhuast exit right under the passenger compartment are you?? that seems like it might be a little risky for carbon monoxide or whatever it is. :-\

Re: Muffler Question
 

run that dump tube out thru the bumper just in front of the front tire. it'd be tite

Re: Muffler Question
 

im going to dump it behind the tire. What muffler is straight thru but will quiet the sound down?

Re: Muffler Question
 

I ran 2 1/2" downpipe and a Cherry Bomb glass pack with it coming out in front of the rear tire.It was quite reasonable and cost next to nothing.I would recommend just clamping the glass pack as they are under 20 bucks and need replacing once a year at least.I used a turndown as well.

Re: Muffler Question
 

Have a flange so you can always open it right up to get that sweet open d/p tune when you wish to :6 :6

Re: Muffler Question
 

i finally fixed my exhaust after running open downpipe for 4-5 months that ended right under my shift linkage, the only time it is noticeable is sitting still

Re: Muffler Question
 

get a cutout. electric or manual whatever. I told myself that if I decided to upgrade my exhaust it will be a e-cutout

Re: Muffler Question
 

I thoght if you ran a cherry bomb glass pack it makes you exhaust sound louder. My hole thing is trying to quiet it down.

Re: Muffler Question
 

im planning on dumping under the center of my car just like the thread starter, but i was simply going to use a resonator right after the downpipe and then finish the 2.5" piping back to the spot of the dump.....is that going to be ridiculously loud or should i find a different method??

Re: Muffler Question
 

dumping under the car will make it seem much louder inside, but it won't be as loud outside. not exactly quiet by any means

Re: Muffler Question
 

The turbo acts as a bit of a muffler, and with a resonator won't be as loud as an na car with just a res/glasspack etc. Still not quiet like other ppl have said.

Re: Muffler Question
 

I think it really depends on what your standards of loud are.I live in a city with jack asses with Chevy trucks that have headers and dual glasspacks for exhaust so to me a downpipe to glass pack to side exit turndown was not very loud at all.I used the longest glasspack they had which was 24" i believe or close to that and it really sounded nice when it was new but they wear out quick. :-\ My car was much quiter then the average rice mobile with no cat and a fart can.

Re: Muffler Question
 

i was thinking about doing something similar with this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Magna...49972284QQrdZ1 and turn down under the car :)

Re: Muffler Question
 

I plan on using a magna flow or a dynomax, something thats deep and quite. It'll have a turn down so it can be mounted higher behind the bumper and painted black. I don't want my exhaust attracting any attention.

Re: Muffler Question
 

I like it... Thats what ill probably go with thanks alot boosted....... Does everyone think this is a good muffler to use???

Re: Muffler Question
 

Magnaflow is great.Good quality and good sound.

Re: Muffler Question
 

bought one!! Thanks for the link!!

Re: Muffler Question
 

My exhaust is extremely quiet. Just a slightly noticable tone, sounds almost stock and draws 0 attention.

It's 2.5" from the downpipe back. I am using a 24" cherrybomb as a resonator and a cheapo dynomax turbo muffler. I couldn't be happier with it.

Re: Muffler Question
 

ok ordering that magnaflow. Ill be running just that, ill let everyone know how it sounds......thanks for the help!

Re: Muffler Question
 

I run 3" all the way out the back with a magnaflo and a turn. I didnt like that it had a little bit of pop to it so i put in a 24" x 3" resonator and that solved the problem. Sounds good and deep now.
