Exhuast tip

[Stitch626ex]

i have had exhaust on my 3 since the first week i got it. its a custom cat back system with a magnaflow muffler and tip! looks and sound great! heres pix.... http://www.cardomain.com/id/oneofthefirst

awsome exhuast! it looks awsome! i saw that exact same exhuast i think at pep boys today, i am not sure how much it was though.

if you just want the sound, pretty much any old universal muffler with a ddecent sized tip will suffice. No point spending money on something you don't want. Any Ractive, or APC, or wutever muffler thats hi-flow, with a niceely sized tip will give you that F&F sound you desire. You can get thos cheap. Or, Axel back exhaust will work well, giving you a slight gain in power aswell. Cat, same, but more power., headers back. Really good sound, and very good performance, especially when matched with an Intake, best option Cold Air Intake. Prices range from 20 for just muffler, to 600 for CAI and Full exhaust

So basically, like if i got a tip the size of like the honda's from the F&F and had it bolt on it, then it would sound somewhat like it?

Not with just the tip. You have to combine it with a muffler or cat-back exhaust system. The problem with these cars is that there's no joints in the system. It's a single, solid piece from in front of the second cat all the way back to the tailpipe. All mods require cutting and most require re-welding unless you remove the second cat (not recommended).

CAI in and of itself won't void the warranty.

Not there are any available for this car yet... (pissed)

:thinks;; how about a maganflow exhuast with the tip from F&F like the Honda's. How would that be? (confused)

Just to clarify a bit, 95% chance that a CAI will do nothing to void a warranty unless you drive through water high enough to cover the inlet (about 12" deep). You shouldn't be doing that, anyway.

Yes, a high-flow muffler and larger tailpipe will improve the sound of your exhaust but you'll never sound like F&F unless you boost your engine and/or jump the compression ratio.

There's more to being fast than sounding fast.

im using oneofthefirsts exhaust set up on mine (thanks) she said it sounds good and it looks like a decent setup so im goin with it, i priced everything (the muffler, a new tip, and a muffler shop cutting out the resinator and welding in the new muffler) and it came to $200. i took off my intake resinator and i havnt had any problems with it at all, it sounds 10 times better and it only took about 30 minutes to do. (first)
