Getting a new muffler tomorrow

Fi-Alero · 12-06-2010, 08:52 PM

Well, tomorrow I'm finally getting another muffler on my car. I'm just not sure which one to get...

I want a Dynomax super turbo muffler, but nobody around here has one in stock, and I have to have it put on tomorrow. The brands that are available are the obvious: Magnaflow and Flowmaster.

Can anybody recommend which model I should get to get the sound that I want. I don't want annoyingly loud, or annoying ricey. Just a smooth rumble would be nice.

I'm running a turbocharged 2.4 with 2.5" piping all the way to the back.

Also, I don't know if I'm wanting to dump after the muffler, or make tips out the back. Would it make a difference?

Thanks

My friend has one of these on his 2.2 Ecotec in his sunfire and it sounds horrible, extremely ricey at anything above 3.5k RPMs.

Don't use a Magnaflow. I guess the Flowmaster.

Why so urgent?

Fi-Alero · 12-06-2010, 10:32 PM

What model of flowmaster do you recommend?

And it's urgent because this is my first and only off-day for a while lol.

Damn man I would put a cheap one on until you get a dynomax super turbo to swap it out for. I have a supercharged 2.4 with a magnaflow hi flow cat 2.5" piping all the way back to a dynomax super turbo with a single Y tip so its like if my car was sideways :

--[cat]-------[muffler]---<

It sounds great.

Funds won't allow right now lol. Maybe later one day I'll switch to the super turbo.

Why do you say this?

[ion] C2 · 12-07-2010, 01:15 AM

Because the Magnaflow is a straight through fart can... and he said:

You need baffles to minimize the sound. I have a Magnaflow straight through AND a Dynomax Super Turbo baffled (curved baffles) to maintain decent flow while muffling all aspects of rasp and drone.

^^ what he said. mine is straight through too and apparently the shop used SS pipes too so no worries for rust anymore

. I bought the cat and muffler and went to midas they did this for 396$ taxes and all included. Was pretty good deal imo.

does everyone on here hate on any exhaust that isn't a deep rumble? lol
i have a apexi type 2, also have had a megan type 2. and then i'm going with a megan drift spec.
those are just all tips though

yea...because nobody likes rice, and nobody likes to hear a weedeater sounding 4-banger a mile away.

Dont hate

BlueLego · 12-08-2010, 07:57 PM

they don't sound that bad. look up ecotec with a megan drift spec. it's a lower bumblebee sound. not all civic ricey.
i just like that type of exhaust more IMO. especially for ecotec.

A Greddy DT would be great for that setup.

They sound stock still you hit higher RPM's than the bigger side opens open it sounds great!

What size turbo you running?

[ion] C2 · 12-09-2010, 02:38 AM

Same one I had.

I ended up getting 2.5" all the way back, a glasspack where the converter was, and a magnaflow muffler on the back. I love it. It is nice and quiet.

Thanks for everyone's feedback.
