Anyone know what would be involved in swapping the mufflers out with some aftermarkets? I need to know the y-pipe to muffler diameter, the length of the stock mufflers, and would I have to get mounts welded to the mufflers?
I do not have $$ for a full cat back system, and it would not help me alot since I have a CLP anyways. This is simply a blin and sound factor mod for me.

any help would be appreciated...

 

Well, any good exhaust shop can rig up anything for you. Let me dig up an image for you....

 

Yeah, but I really like working on my car. It's my only outlet (fairly $$, though). Are our mufflers welded on?

 

I see. I'm the same too.

If you're going for universal mufflers like Magnaflow, then YES, you need to weld on the hangers, tips (if necessary) and a bent pipe with a 2 bolt flange.

Still trying to find that image of the pipe diameters for you.

 

Muffler length I believe is 14"

 

Direct Bolt ons : Comptech, HKS, Greddy EVO. Very easy DIY project 4 bolts (if axle back only) and your done.

 

All cost too much. I am looking at spending about $200 on the mufflers, and perhaps a little extra on install. I really cannot spend 600-1000 on those exhausts.

 

For $160 + $40 install, you can order the Magnaflow 14832 mufflers x 2 and have professional welding too. ~$200

 

 

I wonder what the differnece of like...a magnaflow custom axle-back sounds compared to the CT axle-back?

 

No difference, actually, the sound is almost the same or negligible.

 

head to the blackmarket and buy those 03 mufflers that are for sale... 200 bucks shipped and direct bolt on... will breath better and look good with the 03 tips.

 

I would, but I want more sound and round tips....i really dislike the oval tips, IMHO

 

Anyone ever seen these actually being used?

i would sell you mine but they're welded on.

 

Magnaflows are a grood brand, highly recommended

 

remus, off ebay

 

Not CL owners, or at least none that I have ever seen.

 

a kid at my school had them for a while on his CL, but he tok them off after fun started to be made. didnt soudn good or look good

also the CL is a little more expensive car than your average civic, so we dont go for the ugly crap, you could say we are classy people.

 

I know what you mean. I get shit occasion***y for my HKS' on my CLS, but at least they aren't coffee cans.
