simple monkey Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'm going to be running a TD04 on my car within the next couple months, and I'm curious about the exhaust. I've seen people running a motorcycle muffler on their corollas and RX7s, NA and turbo. The corollas almost sound like bikes and the rotaries sound like airliners taking off. I have a gutter OEM WRX downpipe, and I plan to use a motorcycle muffler (gsx 1300 r hayabusa, 2.5 in and out). Any thoughts on what it will sound like?

4WDFrenzy Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Police sirens. I'm with him. If you are going to spend money on a muffler, and you want a "straight through" flow muffler, get a canister muffler(from local speed shop or good ol' EBAYMOTORS) or even a large to medium sized glasspack. Don't use a motorcycle muffler. It might not have the same sound muffling capabilities and it might land you in bad standings with Mr. Johnny Law, and you really don't want that.

subyrally Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 im running a cherry bomb turbo 2 muffler, its decent, but its not as loud as i would like. i am actually about get the muffler i was running om my impreza installed on the rx. its a dual cannister muffler with a 2.5" inlet and branches to two small mufflers with either a 1.5" or 2" outlet, and 3" tips, looks really cool in stock chrome form, but i painted it flat black last night with only the chrome rings left alone between the muffler body and the tip. looks hot.

mattyg41383 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Ive got a Dynomax Race Bullet muffler on my xt, it sounds awesome... although its not a street car, if it was Joe Cop would be all over it. Long story short, I recommend Dynomax or Magnaflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you sanded teh "chrome" really well until is was rough and then painted with hi-temp paint... otherwise you're goign to be very disappointed when you start smelling burnt spraypaint as you go down the street :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
