so my muffler (according to midas) sh!t the bed on me, and they want to hook me up with an "oer" one for $130. i have a little time to look around for one since i have to replace my back brakes first...

so i'm looking for a little help on what to choose here. i want something that sounds nice, thats not overdoing it or going rice. i'd like to keep around $150. any recommendations? stock 2.2 btw. thanks guys

 

Magnaflow is the top choice on here, no I don't have one, but they sound nice

 

Check ebay

 

Does anyone know if the "Muffler" includes the b-pipe or would I need the entire "exhaust system"? My b pipe is gone and im thinking of upgrading to a magnaflow...Anyone have any idea on prices installed, adn can this be done DIY???

 

yea top choice for the pussies. lol jk

but actually it sounds like your looking for a magnaflow.

 

For the sound he wants, he wants a magnahoe for sure

 

yea magnahoe, thats seriously what it should be called around here. lol

but if you want to pay for a cat-back my Greddy Sp2 WAS quiet as hell, until i put my straight pipe on.

 

That's what I have been callin it on here for quite some time

 

how much for the Greddy Sp2?

 

Yeah, forsureee. Chris likes the sound of my Magnahoe.

 

i payed $470.00 plus shipping, zero tax, did the labor myself. im sure i could have gotten a better deal, if searched just a little harder, but it seemed that was the going rate. the Sp2 is actually cheaper for the quality. and the muffler looks good with our rear bumper.

 

cool thanks

 

I paid like 152 for my magnahoe.

 

cool.... that sounds a little bit better price wise for me...

 

Which mangaflow sounds good?

 

MINE. No uh, ive actually got a lot of compliments on it. They've all said they liked how it was a lot more deep instead of the usual ricey shit can. Well, thats pretty much what my one friend, thats a cop said. But mines the Magnaflow 14805. If it was too loud I was going to get a new resonator but it sounds pretty good, IMO. And it looks pretty damn good too!

 

Hell yeah man, looks awesome. So, can you just buy the muffler, or would I have to get new piping and what not?

 

 

I'd get new piping if I was you, and yeah zero's magnahoe sounds nice

 

Like a cat back system? I'm on kinda a tight budget...

 

I'd suggest at least doing axle back, it's not a lot of piping or money

 

My pick is Magnaflow universal, carefully picked out and placed so as to match the factory bumper cover cutout, and have custom piping done, maybe only back to the next joint, don't see much point in replacing all the piping. Greddy is a civilized sounding catback that you can get in all stainless but I can't see myself spending that kind of dough on something like that, I'd modify handling or wheels first.

Alberta cars don't rust anything like in Ontario so the stainless piping is a non issue to me.

Most definitely, the factory muffler is too big too heavy and too restrictive

 

I paid 110 parts and labor for my custom exhaust with muffler only, its off brand like DTM or something, and ive never looked back, I love the sound it make outside the car, inside gets a bit much.............. soon gonna have a full HKS catback kit in, maybe from my cuzin for free, so im lookin forward to that, but since the headers were put in I might need something a bit more restrictive........... maybe

 

HKS is a beautiful catback, one of the best out there. I asked my tuner place about that before, I think they had one there

 

pricey though. an HKS Hi-power (rear section) only is ALOT of money. almost as much as my full GReddy system.

 

I didnt get fully custom piping. I went to right where the axle is and back. But thats cause that was all rusted anyway but thats probably the best and cheapest way to do it.

 

I have a 99 3.0 cl and its stock except for the rims and spoiler, I want to put a exaust and air intake on, does it matter which one goes on first?

 

most people do intake, first but it really doesnt matter. i went intake, header, exhaust, straight pipe. in that order.

 

well im gettin mine free off my cousin's Accord, so im definately happy about that

 

It doesnt matter. It's not going to really effect anything THAT much. So basically whenever. I did my exhaust first but thats cause my orig. muffler was rusting away on the heat shield and looked like ass.
