Hey everyone,

I need some opinions on what muffler I should get.

Currently my setup is as follows:

2.2L L61
M62 with 2.9" pulley
ZZP Mid-length header
ZZP 2.5" catted downpipe
SS/TC Catback.

It sounds fine at idle until about 3000, but anything above it sounds absolutely ricey as hell with a horrendous amount of rasp. I'm guessing it has to do with the fact the muffler was designed with the muffling effect of a turbo in mind. I happen to be lacking that turbo...

The piping is all good, I just need some opinions on a good muffler that flows good, but will get rid of most or all (preferably) of this rasp.

Thanks everyone.

 

sc cars always have rasp no matter what do you have the ss/tc muffler or what on there now? i have the megan racing exhaust for ss/tc and it sounds good but ive heard on the sc cars its loud and crazy raspy lol

 

Yeah, it's the full SS/TC exhaust.

With the full exhaust, it's extremely loud, which I don't mind...it's just that completely awful rasp. Sounds like a Honda.

 

haha yea go with borla or magnaflow there always good or if you want a canister style hks or apexi

 

Just something that kills a lot of the rasp...loud doesn't bug me...loud amplifies the rasp though.

Maybe I should just twincharge it now, haha.

 

a cat back with a resonator will help

 

HUGE resonator and a Super Turbo muffler.

resonator

 

I am building my motor now and was going to put a stock T/C muffler on. I have a S/C muffler on now I like i just think a T/C muffler would flow better. what do you guys think ? are anyone here running meth on there car ?

 

Dip into the LSJ section of the forum. The T/C catback is fully 2.5" while the S/C one dips down at some points. Both are mandrel. I cannot remember off the top of my head if it chokes down to 2.25 into the SC muffler though.

There is lots of meth advice in that section also .

i am currently using a 22in cherry bomb 3" and a dynomax super turbo 3" it made my tone nice and deep and very little rasp if any at all and I have a cat as well.

 

All right. ZZP has a 5" Magnaflow resonator (2.5" in/out) that is 20" long. I think I might pick that up, since I can return my cat (stock downpipe) for a credit.
