muffler Question

[brennan]

Hey guys

could you tell me if a 2.5 inlet muffler would work with a 3" piping?Or would I have to get a 3" inlet muffler?

Muffler??!!!

Senor! Who needs a stinking muffler??!! (chair)

 

[changedman]

I agree with phaudio. If you have nothing to say regarding the topic, go find some other thread to post in.

And by the way, AGR, I had a thread started titled "AGR#7 is the man", but Dex threatened to lock it, so I deleted it.

 

[brennan]

so no replies to the post

Yes it can work. Just need a 2 - 3.5 inch flange.

 

[KyRaceFan]

It will work, but your gonna have to have some sort of adapter welded on. i would suggest getting a 3in inlet muffler, and sell the one youve got..

 

[brennan]

Oh, I haven't bought a muffler yet, but I'm looking for a carbon fibre muffler other than HKS because I'm not too fond of them, so is there any others?

 

[Kenetix]

Well unless you plan on spending 800+ on the MUFFLER alone, you won't need the HKS Carbon Ti. Just go with anything really, muffler is almost purely cosmetic anyway.

 

[brennan]

So I could get one with a 2.5"inlet and just use the right flange to mate it to the 3" back?

 

[KyRaceFan]

muffler is cosmetic, and the sound.
Bigger inlet piping and bigger muffler is generally louder...
My friend just installed a magnaflow canister muffler, 2.25 in and out, and it sounds really good, nice and low on his 91 rx7 n/a.

 

[Little Beavis]

Why add a restriction (of 2.5") if you have 3" everywhere else. Get a 3" inlet.

Maybe I'm missing something. But if you went 3" to eliminate restriction, why would you add a 2.5" muffler.

 

[Kenetix]

Well, if all he has is the option for a 2.5 that he likes, its really not going to do anything to mess with pressure that far back anyway.

if you plan to go 3" piping to a 2.5" inlet on the muffler.....don't. think about it, it ruins the idea of getting 3" piping. you'll have a bottle neck at the inlet to the muffler. and if you really want a cf muffler...ac revolution makes some. my friend has one on his 200 sx ser and it sounds surprisingly good. but come on, hks has that flame tip....mmmmm

 

[brennan]

how are the apexi n1 exhausts for sound

 

[Striker187]

for our car, they're supposed to sound pretty good. kinda loud from what i understand. i'm a little skittish to get one cause they sound like s*** on other cars.....but then again that's hondas with pos mods. turbo cars rarely sound buzzy. i'm just not fond of the loudness factor. i'd rather have something a little quieter. check out carreview.com. people post their own reviews of all sorts of parts. it'll give you a rough idea of what to expect.
