yeah, I have been checkin out mufflers lately and I am going to buy one now, but the thing is I know which one. I want a LITTLE bit of a sound and the kind that are like our stock ones( with 2 pipes coming out ) but i want the pipes bigger and for them to go out and slant up a little.. I hope you know what I am talking about hehe, but anyways if you guys have any pics of any new muffler on your car post a link ( don't post a image b/c i can't see those im not a member... gay) .
Thanks

if your talking about the dtm style tips , i have them now and there ok but that style tip is really for european cars ... i have just a universal muffeler now and i cant stand it cause its too loud... im going to be changing it soon to a magna flow muffeler .. it is really quiet and all i really want it for is looks not performance ( for all i care it could take away from performance) but i have herd it on a V6 Galant ( this one was a 4' tip ) and it was quieter than mine ideling when he reved it up , it sound soo smooth too i like it alot

TL12

Which Magna Flow muffler did you see on the Galant? I'm interested because I want to get ones less restrictive than my stock ones, but do not want the noise............Thanks!

you can look at any of the street series muffelers magna flow

Din

Get the Remus muffer, looks kind of stock and doesnt make much noise.

Han

Where do they sell the Remus?

tre

so the magna flows aren't that loud ?
i really like the 2nd one on the top.

i dont know where you can get a remus muffeler but if your even gonna think about it its around 400 for a universal muffeler thats no axel back or cat back piping

tre

how much are magna flows ?

Han

I bought one from PowerTech, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ndexURL=0&rd=1
Even though it looks very nice, I don't know if I'm gonna put it on cause I'm afraid of the loud noise from this flow through one. So yeah, we should know how it sounds and if it has a noise restricter for it before buying it incase we don't like the noise

962.5TL,

I know the issue and I've been there.
You could install a resonator from Midas, yes Midas.
They sell what they call a Glass Packs that's pretty small to fit right behind the Cat's before the Bend that goes to the muffler.

This will reduce most of the noise you're getting with a straight thru muffler.

Cost is about $88 including labor.

tre

anyone have any pics ????
im curious to see what our asses look like with a diff muffler

I _love_ mine with the new tip I put on... I don't have any pics right now, but I'll try to take some this weekend. It's a single, wide tip. I posted an uninstalled pic a few weeks ago.

I've had the muffler HAN posted few posts above at one time.
It looked Great... I liked the nice Growl to it but that muffler made a pretty loud echo inside the car. It was louder in the car than outside the car.

I added a resonator and it removed most of the loud sound but Kept the nice slight engine growl.

Here's some pictures...

I dont have the exhaust posted above anymore...

Long story but it was a great look while it lasted.

I bought that one for $130, then I've heard that the magnaflow is quieter so I go ahead and install the magnaflow one for total of $250. The echo is still pretty annoying inside, so I install a glass pack with the size of the stock glass pack. The noise is lesser but I still want it quieter. I might change the stock glass pack with a bigger glass pack.



Hmmm, I wish you posted this earlier so I wouldn't buy the magnaflow and go ahead install the powertech.

I still have the lifetime warranty brand new powertech, I'll sell it for $110 if anyone interested.http://communities.msn.com/HondaAcur...msnw?Page=Last

Hey Han,

You know the Glass Pack is pretty quiet... Since you have one before the muffler, how about an idea of installing a glass pack as the muffler and get some custom twin pipes welded on the glass pack.

So having two glass packs should provide the quiet sound along with a straight thru pipes.


I've been wondering about this type of setup would sound like.

tre

how much did the magnaflow run you ?
and what kind of sound is it ( w/o glasspack or whatever just normal ) is it deep or just like a little civic ?

962.5tl

ok so your saying NOT to get the magnaflow muffeler and get the powertech

Han

I ran to Midas this morning and they think that with the straight through muffler, my sound would be a quietest one it could be because I already have a stock resonator and a glass pack. And there is no place for another glass pack beside your idea.

Han

With the sound, because Mola said it sounds ok for him with the glass pack.

But with the look, I have to consider if I like the sporty look of the Powertech or the stock look my Magnaflow.

Han

It's about $190 for the single tip and $240 for the double tips and about $50 for the glass pack including labor. The sound is deep but there will be echo inside.

oh hmm, should i get a borla ?
