If you leave the stock muffler it will just blow out and sound like sh*t.

If you're getting a new muffler too, that's called a custom cat-back, and plenty of people have done that.

I did that with the magnaflow mini pack muffler. It is hella loud

 

i have 2.75 pipe and it nice i would not take the rez out though cuz trust me u will go death.

 

Go death huh? Hmmm...better not do that then.

 

It could make you lose your hearing too...

 

 

I'm gonna put that right back on then, I had no idea of the consequenses Just messin. But i really hope you meant deaf, which I think you did.

 

sorry i was on the phone with a client and not watching what i was typing. i did mean deaf

 

well i have the trd exhaust on...so i thinbk it would sound nicer

 

ok but i wornd u........ lol its just MO lol do waht u think is best.

 

In that case, you could gain some power, but it will definitely get louder.

hehehe thanks guys...but implannin on leavin the resinator tho...i mean i am still young...and i would like to see 50 atleast...hehehe jes kiddin so i doubt it would be that loud wit the resinator still on...hopefully

 

I think 2.25 is a good size, if not slightly too big, I think I'm going to go with 2" How are you going to bend the pipe? I'd recommend getting it mandrel bent by a professional, or buying some mandrel bent pipe over the net (if there is not a local place that can do the bends for you). if you go the route of ordering the pipe, be ready to do lots of welding... as for crush bent pipe... I would only recommend that if you were looking to go cheap.

 

Couldn't have said it better.

 

yea....that is true...but man it is expensive tho...so i mite just be plannin on gettin crush bend instead...i wanna save some money...thanks for the advice tho

 

Fireball - where you ordering your piping from?

FWIW, I think there's really only a few 90* bends (2?) that you'd need to order. The rest of the 2" piping could be supplied by a local shop.

Even if I decide to go crush bent, I'd still go 2" piping. 2.25" seems too big for a little 1.5L unless you're going forced induction or nitrous.

 

anyone knows a goodplace that will do it for a reasonable price???

 

i dont think there is a single muffler shop that does not have a mandrel bender, crush bending is pretty much only done during manufacturing now days
