Thread: 500 dollar muffler... ouch!

Why don't you guys just try turbo mufflers?

I run a quick time E-cutout on my truck. You could run a muffler with a cut out port and have the same type of system for 300$.

I have a small piping with a reso / muffler then a cutout where the cat was lol 10x better of a setup than that muffler and wayyy cheaper. Looks like over priced crap to me haha

I looked into this but that motor will be getting quite hot.

elaborate?

I have been thinking for a long time that the only way I will go aftermarket exhaust is with a stock muffler and and hidden cutout.

This is a nice option, I would consider it if they offer any long term warranty.

Check the bottom of my first post of the B14 aftermarket exhaust thread. I just added a bunch of new information recently.

Some of it a lot of you folks will know but a good read through can show you something new. You never know. http://www.sr20-forum.com/200sx-se-r/32739-b14-aftermarket-exhaust-kit-system-choices-direct-bolt.html

Here are new mufflers I have found that are pretty even as far as inlet and outlet measurements and locations. Price varies from $40 to $65 for the mufflers I found on the same web site.

Turbo mufflers are not a straight through design so an increase in backpressure will happen. Results and how much will vary. Here are the best options I have found so far from some heavy hitters in the exhaust muffler industry that utilize similar properties/technologies/style to decrease overall noise while cruising.

The Thrush has the largest volume , followed second by the Magnaflow XL, then the Cherry Bomb and last is the Dynomax of these four turbo mufflers that all utilize three chamber technology, 2.5" center/offset mufflers.

vibrant oval super quiet resonator works wonders.

and hurt the pockets but they do work nice

Couldn't praise the Vibrant ultra quiet resonators any higher. Have 2 of them with an Apexi WS2 and the car is super quiet. Probably equivalent in sound to a factory g35/g37 exhaust.
