My muffler choice too cheap?

[sprinter119]

No resonators or cats with a Mazdaspeed axle back. It is loud and I love it doenst sound bad either.

i have full 3" straight gutted cat to a hks high power.

but like i said ive done this on many turbo cars... budget magnaflow

budget permits go thermal.

 

[boostfreak]

maybe if u let them know how much you want to spend they could help you figure up one that you like for that price???
it may help them help you.

I have it all figured out. Get ready to tell me how much like ass it sounds within the next few days.

So you're going to spend money on an exhaust that you know is going to sound like s***, rather than spending a little more to make it sound good as well as a little boost in power? I don't understand, but good luck.

Get a Custom 3' exhaust made.

Well I was just being sarcastic, but I guess the possibility of it sounding like ass is always there(Not sure how to make Borla sound like ass). I could have went the cookie cutter route, but I wanted to be a little different.

Yep getting it done 6 hours from now.

Wanna see pics .. and want details! Want-want-want!

 

[destineal]

At the shop now. I suck at taking pics but I will try.

 

[destineal]

Damn it just changed to s pipe back!!!!!!!Guess I will be looking in to a 3" dp later this yr.

 

[BOOSTR]

So what are you paying for this non-typical exhaust and did you opt for a flex hose section? I wan't see the pics also and hear your impressions of how it sounds. But more importantly does it make any difference in the performance.

 

[destineal]

I went with a 18in summit racing glasspack as a resonator, and a 3" Borla Pro XS. No cat because it hadn't arrived yet. Stinky stinky.

Doesn't it just suck ass?!?!(yes)(upyours)

 

[Captain KRM P5]

very mellow, not at all obnoxious. nice work.

 

[blazinrola80]

not bad .. sounds good..

 

[BOOSTR]

I see a flex hose section. So what about performance, any noticeable difference?

 

[Ricktalife]

Good luck with the 3" dp. Now you understand why very few people have one lol. Glad to see you went with a Borla muffler! Sounds nice!

 

[JC-MP5]

Well done! Glad you went with good stuff!

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

That sounds really good. If you dont mind me asking how much did it end up costing?

I paid $450 including my muffler. There is a flex hose so hopefully it doesn't break. I like the way it sounds, but if you need to ride with the back seats down for some reason(had stock exhaust in trunk), it can be annoying.Does it make a difference in performance? Hard to tell. I'd love to tell you yes, but I paid for it. I'm prone to the placebo effect. I think the turbo spools a little faster and I think my foot does also.I don't have a before dyno, but I should be on a dyno to see where I stand in general.
