I was thinking of having a local performance shop instal a "custom exhaust" was wondering if anyone on here had any suggestions or insight on what muffler/ size tubing i should go with??? Any help/ input would be greatly appreciated

 

Custom jobs can definately be cheaper than ordering a full exhaust from a retailer then having it installed.

I'd suggest a 2.5 inch setup... which is good for up to 300hp... muffler really depends on the sound you want and what your shop carries.

Call the shop that you want to do the job and see what they have on hand, and what they can order... also make sure that they fully weld the system together... none of this clamp together crap... it leaks and leads to rust.

 

^^^i totally agree

 

Buy the muffler you want on ebay. Magnaflow or something. There like 99 cents and arnt the cheepo ones

 

that too. you can get a good one for like 5 bucks.. then have them do the rest. I would also suggest 2.5. And are you just going catback? or a full custom?

 

I have a custom exhaust and did a thread on it in the southwestern forum/exhaust for 40 bucks,

 

I disagree. Buy a catback. They are stainless steel. They will last as long as you have the car. Plus they are tuned to your car.

 

good one ^^^

 

People remember what an exhaust is...... mostly just bent pipe..... not that hard to do one yourself.... make it last a long time..... and have great performance....... stop paying these outrageous prices for exhaust corsa $700 out of control shame on you !!!! Have your made and slap on a flow master muffler. You will be good to go. All you are doing is letting air out of the vehicle it is not rocket science.

 

are you looking to do something like this?

 

^^^^ that looks great. damn i need to get a dual exhaust

 

^^is that your setup pclear???

 

hehehe yep yep

 

Actually to get the most air out and getting the most power out of an exhaust is about as close to rocket science as you can get. Some guys on the RL forums can tell you exactly what goes into it. Or you can do a search and see how complicated exhausts are

 

i need more details, and when the heck did you do that?

sound clips, more pics, anything!!

 

did it last night and sorry no sound clips, no more pics as of yet ........ gotta get the exhaust to settle in first its slowly getting deeper and a little louder ........ after they did it i drove like 500 feet and turned around (like 6 pm right when they were closeing) and i was like OMFG this sounds hella ricey i dont want it ......... the dude was like WOW ive never had that problem b4 ...... just drive a couple days and see how it breaks in ..... i got about 25-30 miles down the road and it started to sound a hell of alot better but its still not the same as the magnaflow that im selling .... this is weak compared to it but its all good its like 1/2 as deep as the magnaflow was

To me it is not that hard. Maybe to some........ Complicated ????

 

what mufflers are they and what size piping?

my club just picked up partial sponsorship by JIC so i may experiment with one of their mufflers, i just have to deside on the resonator(s) i want to use.

 

dude you're back!!! lol

exhausts can be tricky to get them to sound and perform just right sometimes

 

well its all 2.5" piping and i will have to get back to yall on what brand they told me but i wasnt listening at the time i was in la la land

 

GSOCCER: dude you're back!!! lol


The man tried to hold me down......... I have been resurrected like the Phoenix.....
