I love your avatar icon thingy.....
those cheap obx or whatever brand mufflers that are always up on e-bay are not that bad. I used one on my old 01 Civic, and with crush bend 2.5" piping and no resonator it sounded decent for a slow Civic. Nice and deep! With the silencer in it sounded like ASS though.

Im lookin' for muffs for cheap as well....just my opinion, but the magnaflow stuff always looks like hell,...i mean, if you're a modder or whatever and can tell what they are, cool. If they perform well, cool. But to most people (and i agree), they just look like crap stock mufflers...just my 2 cents.
That one is nice, I've looked at it before, but I'm not getting it.mazdaspdprotege said:
I'm getting a universal 3"in/3"out muffler without a tip. Then I'm having a small portion of 3" piping welded on for the tip, which I might polish up.
1moreMPH- I think you'd be surprised by the amount of people who care a lot more about how a part performs, rather than how it looks... I'm definately not getting a muffler to turns heads (braindead
.. Disgustingly belated response, but I decided to drop the $$$ for an HKS Hi-power muffler with the titanium tip. 3" inlet and 4.75" tip. I paid a little over $250 for it, not including shipping.
But I'll tell you what, it was SO worth it. It delivered EXACTLY the kind of sound I was looking for, and I wouldn't give it up for anything.
.. If you want, I can see if I can get a sound clip of it now that I have a digital camera that's capable of taking movies. Let me know.

there is no difference in the body of the muffler. the one you linked earlier just has a 4" tip, and 4" is too big for me. the cost will be about the same. I may get a Borla Sportsman XR-1, but they are a lil more than a Magnaflow.mazdaspdprotege said:
Excuse the dirtiness of my car -- today's the first day I've seen the sun, and not rain, in I don't even know how long. And I tried to get the best pictures of the exhaust setup that I could .. but since you still can't see very well, here's what I have:mazdaspdprotege said:
I kept the first stock cat because I'm retarded and didn't think to replace that one with a hi-flow cat. The second stock cat, however, I did replace with a 2.5" Magnaflow hi-flow cat. Unfortunately, PA requires that you run at least two cats in your system to pass inspection/emissions .. otherwise I'd be going catless. Anyhoo, from the second cat there's nothing but piping -- I ditched the resonator -- which leads back to my HKS muffler with the 3" inlet.
And, uh. I have a sound clip -- though it's in the format of a movie, mpeg -- and I can't seem to upload it. Help?
