Just looking on other peoples opinions on off the shelf mufflers, Im super sick of being extremely loud, Im running a 3 inch exhaust turbo back with only a cheapo canistermuffler at the tip on my 13b.

Ideas for a good 3" muffler I can stick mid exhaust that will help quite the exhaust alot that isnt too restrictive, I gotta watch the height dimension of the muffler too because my frame rails are about 2 inches off the ground.


thanks

 

i like the RB revII presilencer, it WORKS. keep the muffler you have on the end and put the RB in the middle

 

You can buy just their REV II presilencer can (no flanges etc) from RB for about $100.

 

Yeah, get the RevTII presilencer and you won't be disappointed.

 

I've heard good things about the Borla XR-1 as well, but I have no personal use on that or the REVII.

 

i wonder if i could just get one of those revII's and replace my stock cat with it...anyone know what its dimensions are compared to the stock cat and precats by chance....be sweet if it could 'bolt right up'...eh?

 

The REVII doesn't bolt up because its a 3 inch OD. The stock system is what, 2.4 inch OD?

Racing Beat does make a replacement for the stock cats though.

 

I've also had a lot of good luck with the Vibrant Performance 3" ultra-quiet resonators. I have one on my 2nd gen and have used them on a bunch of cars. Stainless packed, for about $100.

 

I have a borla xr-1 on mine and it went from having horrible loud noise to a nice quiter tone still deep and loud enough to be hear but not too loud. Im about to change my system up though using rb raceheader and 3" all way back with borla xr-1 in center of car. Hoping its not tooo loud just running 3" pipe out rear for dual tips thats it. but run two borla xr-1's on the tips and throw a rb presilencer in there and you'll have your self a quite and nice sounding exhaust! oh if you even want it quitier run two smaller presilencers in the piping before it gets to your mufflers....

 

tis not for an rx7 its for my corolla in my sig so no duals, I swapped a tII into it. I think I may check out the RB presilencer, or maybe see what kinda deal I can get the borla for at my local place. I wont be able to fit two in there anywhere

 

Ah alright sorry about that....lol well ya the borla sounds great on a rotary

 

i have a Borla XR1 on my car, quieted it down a bit and added a decent tone to the exhaust. basically it's the only real muffler in the system now.

i plan on making a dual system with two XR1's in the future to quiet it down more, but that's just because i'm getting old and i don't like loud exhausts anymore. i kind of prefer actually hearing my turbo.

they have a magnaflow knock off called flopro, many sizes many lengths. fairly cheap and neither of mine have melted after two years on the track. i get all my exhaust stock from them.

just finished my 4in down pipe using all their products.

 

by chance would anyone have some sound clips? that would be pretty awesome

 

If your car is NA use a pre-silencer of some kind. A friend of mine has a S5 NA with a RB header & pre-silencer combo with a borla catback that sounds pretty nice and isn't too loud. I run a RB 3in DP and borla catback on my TII that I am very happy with.

Video of my car during an autocross last year: (skip to 3rd run to hear it outside the car)

on all my video's you can hear the fuel pump over the exhaust. i'll get one together once it's running

 

Borla XR-1. excellence

 

So this is the plan now lol, sometime in the near future when I get paid Im gonna buy some cheapo matching canister mufflers and put either a Borla or RB silencer before the Y pipe


lololol never seen a dual exhaust on a corolla, I want dual fireballs lol

 

A simple resonator as far rear as possible will knock sound down to a reasonable level. Shouldn't run you too much at a reputable exhaust shop.
