i am in a incredible need for a muffler. the one i wanted was sold out. and will be till late december. im looking for something that is perferable under $140, stainless steal.. and not 324234" big. i was going to get a flowmaster, but i heard they sound like **** with rotaries. is this true? can someone please point me to something. ive looked hard and come up clueless. i also want it to be kind quiet. i would buy the powerpulse muffler but its just too much

 

Get a cherry bomb. The 83 GS I just got has one on instead of a muffler. Sounds kinda cool. well sort of. If you rev and let off the gas really fast it sounds like a shotgun going off.

 

A cherry bomb will burn up lol. All the glass inside will just burn and blow out.

 

hehe, guess the ricer I got it from didn't know much about rotaries. Oh well, sounds cool for now

 

I dropped by to see and hear 82transam's new addition tonight. Lemme tell ya, they don't call it a cherry bomb for noth'n. It'll probably make a really cool flame thrower. LOL

 

try www.bestautopartsonline.com for Magnaflow muff's.

If you don't like those borla is also very good quality, and they like rotorys too...

so borla and magnaflow will sound decent?

 

Ive got a stock one you can have real cheap .

I got a Magnaflow on mine, I like the tone of it. But I dont have any cats or a pre scilencer, and its well errrrr sortta loud But Im running 3" exhaust and a turbo.. So go figure, but the mufflers are nice, and very pretty

 

yea, i love what you have done with your car. hopefully, one day, i will have an engine like that under the hood. do you have any pictures of the magnaflow on your car? do you have a tip on it? ill be running a racing beat header, catco catalytic converter, and 2.25" piping into a muffler, which is my only setback as of now. how does it sound, dead? raspy? i just dont want that, really bad metallic sound you header some honda's at high rpm's.

 

No it has a very nice tone to it... i got some pics somewhere.. i think i posted a pic on here... im gonna get some vid soon

 

The Flowmasters and "turbo" type mufflers sound crappy with rotaries, and the glasspacks sound good until they burn up, which is pretty darn fast (a month, if you're lucky). I'd go with the stock muffler, myself. Cheap, durable, easy to find, sounds okay, too. Good luck with it! -WG

 

I say go on e-bay, get an apex'i n1 "style" muffler. Like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1869583106
I'm using one of these, have been for 1/2 a year, doesn't quiet much without the silencer in. I have no cats or presilencer with this on the back with the silencer in, and it's not too loud. 2.5'' inlet, 3.5'' tip, completely straight through, full stainless steel. Mine cost $130 total, including install.

 

I hate to break it to you gently, but I bet thats not a real Apex'i N1

 

I have a ractive on mine. My car is pretty loud (header no cats 2.5 inch pipe all the way to muffler). It annoys people, I think thats why I like the way it sounds so much. Even the guys on the harleys look at me crazy.

 

Mike, I'm curious about Magnaflow mufflers, which one did you get? I want to get a strait through type muffler, but I'm a little wary of the types available. Are all of Magnaflows strait through, or Chambered?

 

Magnaflow mufflers really suck. Everyone around here has them. After a while they start to crackle and sound bad. But i guess its all about your opinion. HKS and Greddy make the best exhaust. You get what you pay for. Expect more than 150 for a decent sounding muffler.

 

Hold mine up in the air and you can see completely through it, like a big freaking 3 inch hole in it LOL

I promise I will get some video soon, well as soon as I can get someone to hold the camera and a good straight strecth of road to run it on LOL

 

Muffler I got is here ( http://magnaflow.com/03mirrorrace.htm ) , its a 14835

It was like $129

 

Oh yeah really, and why is it I have a friend with a Neon, that is all souped up with a TEC3 set up with the throttle bodies etc, and he has a complete exhaust with magnaflow mufflers, and it has been on there over a year and 1/2? I got several friends with them and no one has had SINGLE problem... Look at the quality of them, and compair, I did... Its the same thing with jeans and ****, look at Levi's and look at TH jeans, same damn thing, just freaking $30 more each pair... If anything the Levi's last longer...

 

dude, a quick snapshot? please? i was looking at the one above it same thing, minus it has a 2.25 inlet. i just want to see what it looks like on the first gen body. this header is just screaming to be put on, i have it next to me now. and i cant till i have everything i need to put it all on at once

 

Well all i know is that all my friends that have the magnaflow canister mufflers have gone to ****. Or mabey its because everyone around here has one. I try to be different with my exhaust.

 

It sounds cool for about 2 mins then gets real old real fast. I can't wait to get a real muffler on that thing. I'm also almost 100% sure that the cherry bomb is the reason that the car runs bad. Its definatly not made to be run on a rotary thats for sure. What does everyone suggest for a good replacement muffler? Don't say Racing Beat cause I don't have the money for that and if I did I wouldn't put it on this car. I know everyone says Monza sucks, but would it be good for a few years at least?

 

i was using a dinomax ultra flo muffler for almoust two years and didnt sound like s#!t or loud. so if you gonna do a custom exaust make it no biger that 2.25 inch and a dinomax ultra flo oval muffler (not the round one)

 

The Monza one will be fine, although that's not much of a bargain either.
