Ok so i hate the black looking stock muffler on my car, the tip is chrome but then the muffler itself is black. Anyone know any spray or paint that will make the black part a kind of chrome looking color? cause i dont want a catback, cause i dont want my car to be too loud and im not willing to pay 600+ for something i wont want. im just going for the look

this might be a stupid question but i have no clue

chrome paint is usually not very durable and will chip and flake easily. you could go to pep boys/autozone/advance auto and see what colors they have in their high temperature paint. look on the Duplicolor website first if you want. otherwise you have to take the mufflers out and get them chromed by a shop. could be expensive.

Aight thanks man, if i got em taken to a shop, would u think that would cost more than just buying new mufflers?

im not sure. all i know is that chroming, especially a piece as big as our mufflers, will be pretty costly. but i dont know of any aftermarket chrome mufflers that will be quiet/cheap.

hopefully someone with more knowledge of chrome can chime in.

get a ww rear lip to cover them and sum 3a tips. orrrr u could just suck it up and get the tsudo axle back for like 300 sumthin..... mang. then install them yourself. only a couple of screws n all. first site that popped up on google.

well i mean will the tsudos make it louder? cause my oppinion is that our cars arent meant to be roaring down the street, intake noise is good for me already.

sand down your stock mufflers and take some metal polish to it.


thats if you want that kind of look....

KobeAllDay

can i use an electric sander and high grit paper to sand it down? or do i need some other tool?

ParaSurfer1979

What do you drive? you haven't set up a signature with info. Under your handle it says skyline. Is that correct?

I like the tsudo axle back they are just a very little bit louder then stock. Just me if you want just a little more tsudo is the way to go. Especially if you are going for a little more of looks with little exhaust tone change.

im gonna take a shot in the dark and say he has a 2G TL...


also you can deduce this from his million threads on an intake for a 2000 TL no offense OP, its just funny

ParaSurfer1979

This guy is selling his used Tsudo Exhaust for 2g TL for 145.00 shipped. Its 380 shipped new so he should pm this member. If you haven't seen them here they are... I've got video if he'd like to hear them.

KobeAllDay

yea can u post the video please? and whos "this guy"? 03tls?

ParaSurfer1979

Here you go bro... If later on you'd like 15-20 more hp, add the J-pipe. It's $250-300.

just so there is no confusion, im going to point out a mistake, but please do not take this as a snotty correction.

it is not technically called a J-pipe for the 2Gs. We have "headers" which include a J-pipe. 3Gs only have J-pipes. If a TL noobie searches for a J-pipe for a 2G TL they will most likely come up with nothing, hence the need for the correction.


and yes headers should add 15-20 more hp. i have OBX headers sitting in my garage but have to wait till the spring to get them installed.

ParaSurfer1979

You are so right. I knew this being a CL-S6 owner. Those headers should pull nice. Megan Racing makes some as well

ParaSurfer1979

Did you not have a comment about the sound?

KobeAllDay

Do you know if thats with an intake or stock?

ParaSurfer1979

stock intake...

good job on posting your number on public forum.

KobeAllDay

This guy is suspicious? His first post was asking for help about using this forum, and how it works? I thought that was just a weird question to ask...

ParaSurfer1979

I'll get you the link bro ok?

ParaSurfer1979

I think that one is sold but id bid on on this. If thats too hi, I can show you something else magnaflow has that's nice.

ParaSurfer1979

Who said that member was local or close to you to pic up? You can do a nice muffler and have Midas install. I can post a few megan has that would match your TL and other company i mentioned. I'll go look and post.

ParaSurfer1979

This Megan Racing muffler is 115 msrp ea. are cheaper on Ebay.

Best option and look Tsudo mufflers $79.99ea and are copies of Greddy SP2. http://tsudoperformance.com/index.ph...products_id=60


Now tosave cash i say buy Tsudo mufflers, install as your car sits now, then later add piping when you can afford it later. The nice sound will be there however the power will not (maybe gain 4-5 hp on stock piping tops) until you add 2.5in piping from cat then 2.25in after the split. It'll sound awesome. But if you like the muffler on stock piping (which Tsudos tl kit is anyway), then keep it that way. The main power gains anyway are from headers (20-30hp gain). PM me and we can converse further. I hope this is a good start. Ask me anything.
