Ok peeps, i gots a Q for ya'll. I want to go with a custom catback setup since my dc exhaust is a pile. I was wondering if anyone could recomend a good universal muffler that is failry inexpensive, but wont give me that stupid rice sound. But i still want it loud.

And i was going to go with a 2 1/4" piping to keep the torque, yay or nay?

here is what my exhaust sounds like now, want to stay around this sound.

thnx in advance

 

aero makes some good mufflers

 

What I noticed the key to not get that "ricey" sound is to move the muffler up to the front. The further the muffler is up to the engine the more it resonates through the pipe and in my opinion gives you a much more aggressive sound. I had a magnaflow straight through muffler with 2.25" piping on my tercel with the muffler up around where the stock resonator is on the scion. Personally I am not a fan of the big fart can at the end of the exhaust. I think the can being at the end is mostly what makes it sound like that. But 2.25" piping should be fine for that car.

 

Tercel95 another way to get rid of rasp is to get a small resonator and mount it right before the muffler. This way you can get a good looking muffler where it should sit at the end of the car and have a great sound coming out of it.

try Vibrant mufflers

 

you wanna get rid of the raspy sound??? Buy a high flow resonator and a high flow cat, thats what i did and it sounds BEAUTIFUL!!! Its a little more costly, but well worth it. Im also running a 2 1/4" exhaust from header to muffler.

 

i am running 2.5' stainless from the downpipe back into a modified trd muffler. I installed a resonator where the cat used to be, and no longer run ANY cat. I will try to record some video/ sound of the car tongiht and post up in the morning.

 

thnx for the help guys

bfurches, is that legal, putting a resonator where the cat should be?

 

nope

I dunno where your located, but here when they do inspections, they very rarley crawl under the car to find the cat, and simply because of the way i placed it along with the o2 sensors before and after, i could just tell them its a highflow cat and they wouldnt know the difference.

 

2.25 is too large unless you're going f/i

and no removing a catalytic converter is NOT legal . it's a federal mandate.


and you will never pass ANY smog test anywheres.


and without a o2 sim on the rear o2 sensor you will have a check engine light.


and the rear mounted muffler does not add ricey sounds..


a rear muffler with a LONG resonator/ cherrybomb between the cat and muffler will kill the rice sound

 

hotbox, do you recomend anything? i am prolly keeping my DC axleback. so it would be a midpipe. i got a megan header if that means anything. I would like to stay around the same saound i have now (see vid clip posted).

thnx

 

2.0 with at least a 24 inch long 2.0 inch resonator , prefferably a 32 inch long one.

 

hotbox you have pm

 

ok anyone have any other info for me?

I talked to the guy at the shop today, he said if i go with a cherry bomb glasspack it would be the same as if I kept the stock resonator. He said i should go with a 2" midpipe straight from the cat to the axleback. anyone think this is good or bad?

 

glasspack 2" inlet n outlet. 30 7/16" long. yay o nay?

 

Go for it!

 

I remember running those on my '68 Mustang, memories.

 

where'd you get the cat, and do u have the part #? I have a catback magnaflow and i'm trying to kill the sound... it's driving me nuts

 

Big Bird, how did the Cherrybomb work out? I'm interested in doing the same thing.

 

thats looks big, I thought they were smaller than that

 

Hey Biggie or anyone

Is that cherry bomb 2" inlets size all that I need for just a resonator swap?



thanks
