I called a local shop and they wanted $125 to remove the mid muffler and replace with straight piping. They asked me if I had the replacement pipe or not.

Do you think it would be cheaper for me to buy the pipe to replace and bring it to them? If so, what size is the pipe?

 

that is wayyyyyyy too steep, go somewhere else. i brought in my tsudo mufflers and had them install those and remove my midmuffler, my total bill was $125

 

Yea, I gotta find a good local exhaust shop. Were those the Tsudo axle back?

 

$15 for me

 

30 for me

 

Damn...

DAMN!!!

 

I pretty much just laughed and said thank you when they told me that

 

si

 

60 was the cheapest place i found in my area and honestly i overpaid. the guy did it in 15 min.

 

yeah 60 for me. but that was also doing the resonator to magnaflow swap along with mid muff delete

 

what was the part number for the magnaflow resonator? is it significantly louder? if you have a link to where u got it that would be great.

 

sucks you guys paid so much. haha. i guess its a good thing the owner remembers me from the ATLP days..... lol

 

i paid 40.

 

Magnaflow pt#10416 i paid 40 but that was getting a hook up through work....

 

-So if I want that sound in the video I need :Mid-pipe delete with a straight pipe then The the Tsudo axle back?

-Is there only one type of Tsudo for our car..Does it just bolt on??

 

FREE for me

 

and mufflers deletes too

you need the tsudo sp axleback

wow they jacked the price up. i got it $220 shipped.

 

That is the setup, and yes, they are bolt-on. You can also find them on eBay. In fact, I saw them for $79 ea. including shipping.

Hard to tell from the video, but that setup might also include either CAI or intake resonator delete. That might be contributing to the overall sound.

 

NOT TRUE!!! those are the tsudo universals. don't get those. they are not direct bolt on and you will more than likely need an exhaust shop to do it.

 

and in my vid, it was both intake res delete. i didn't get the CAI till later

 

Good point. I did not notice that. The Tsudo's are probably the best muffler value for these cars. I only wish the exhaust tips were a little smaller. They are flared out to 4", but I would prefer tips a little more inconspicuous.

 

i went to a shop today and they wanted $60 to just take out the mid muffler and replace with a straight pipe. i told a buddy of mine who works at the community college auto shop and he said he'll do it for free.
does deleting the mid muffler (but keeping the resonator) really have much of an affect on sound?

 

 

saweet
i guess havin this done free then eventually gettin a cat-back will benefit

 

i don't find it very different from stock when just cruising..

but when vtec kicks in i can..

 

here's a clear sound of my tls with mid muffler delete and intake resonator delete. i was doing it with seafoam so there's smoke but the sound is amazing.

OMG, CEL and then something will happen!!

 

I want EXACTLY that sound. Sounds great for just a mid muffler delete and intake resonator removal

 

whats the measurement of the piping going into the mid muffler and out of the mid muffler?
wanna make sure i get the right pipe

 

I did the mid muffler delete about a month ago and so far I love it. With that thing gone the car has a G35/37ish sound. I have a SRI also that helps add to that overall beefy sound.

 

i believe its 2.25"

 

haha yup that was my buddy. he was thinking what to say and trying to work the camera...

 

what does the Magnaflow resonator do for your car? I was planning on replacing the oem cat with a magnaflow cat, then installing magnaflow muffler pt.# 10445 and straight pipes to the back with tips. would this sound good:>

 

that will be extremely loud. i would do the cat and resonator then delete the mid muffler and keep the stock mufflers and it'll sound good.

 

anyone near sf recommend a shop :P

 

would you think it would be louder than straight pipe with NO muffler

 

When I had my 2nd gen I had mid muffler deletes, test pipe, headers, and stock mufflers. it sounded beautiful.

 

there is a few good shops around the sac area idk about the Bay tho sorry

 

so could anybody tell me what this part is (pt.# 10445) - - - - is this a resonator or muffler????
