My new muffler!
3 Attachment(s)
So, going through some hardships, and yesterday I had an impulse moment to get me a little something-something for my 7. So, today, after calling around, I ended up finding something decent. I'm planning on having it installed this weekend, so hope it all goes well. And, I'm on a budget so, $190 was MORE than what I was wanting to spend but I wanted to treat myself, and my 7.
Voila! https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1208568046https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1208568046 https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1208568046 |
Post a vid when you get it installed.
|
Those are....um.....interesting:dunno: :dunno:
Edit...Now I see pics. NICE.....SHINY:icon_tup: |
very nice! I'm interested in seeing/hearing them installed. :) Looking for a new muffler myself.
|
Hurry up with the vids man!!! I need to see if that will work good for mine also.
Edit: TAP*TAP*TAP |
That looks very nice. Magnaflow mufflers always sound great on a rotary.
|
It looks good. I'm not a fan of the square tips but it does look good. Definitely waiting on some sound
|
need to know what it sounds like. need to replace ebay muffler i was given.
|
Good work....love my magnaflow. It sounds good with stock exhaust manifolds and cats, but if you have the chance, get headers and cat delete....it sounds so much better!
|
Here is what it sounds like with stock exhaust manifolds and cats:

hmm that does sound good. I dont think your cat liked it too much though
|
i thought that magnaflows and flowmasters would burn up on a rotary?
|
We have a giant muffler/exhaust thread somewhere that lists all of the systems/mufflers used and I believe there are sound clips in there also.
Nice looking muffler. Wish someone had done dyno testing of before and afterwards with these mufflers. Only muffler that I have ever used and has been proven to add HP is the Racing Beat ones. |
this video is a lot higher pitch then it is in real life, and the gilmer is not really that loud, wait till 1:27 thats when i went to the back of the car. youll see why i need a new muffler.

Thank you all. I'm currently at a friend's place and he welded it up for me, and also taking care of some wheel well rust. :)
It's already installed and looks great! The reason I got square tips is because they didn't have the one with round tips. :( It was either this one or a single outlet with a 4" opening and that seemed too ricer-ish. I have manifold, no pre-cats, new cat, and this. I started it up, and the idle and low rev burble sounds great. I can't wait to get it onto the road. I asked the friend if it sounded different when I revved and such, he agreed, as he heard the stock system when I pulled in. I already got pics, I'll be sure to snatch some video of it today. :) |
Well what's taking so long to post the pictures???!!!!!

Okay, my video is busy uploading to YouTube, so I'll at least post some pictures of what went on with the install. They are, in order:

Nah magnaflow's are stainless steel...they hold up to the heat. No issues whatsoever, but the glass pack that i had put on is useless now
|
And, my video is now uploaded.
Sorry for the staticy sound, my little digital camcorder is a pain when it comes to distorting sound with loud noises. This is the best I can offer for now until my friend converts the video from his camcorder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQjku1b4dzE |
Hard to tell the actual exhaust note. Is it super super deep or is that because of the distortion?
Sounds good besides the static. If you did make another video, have the camera closer to the exhaust with the mic pointed in the same direction (with exhaust). Often gets less static that way. |

My exhaust has a decent burble to it when at low RPMs. No idea how it sounds at higher RPM as I'm just not in the mood to waste gas. Not at the prices we're having now. |
fair enough, it does sounds pretty good though!
