What other mods do you have? I would suggest Y-pipe before a muffler. Our OE y-pipes has more restriction than our mufflers.

Flowmasters? Ik....

do you want sound or do you want power?
Power = Y-pipe (or so I've read)
Sound = Muffler


I sell flowmaster, as well as a bunch of other brands of exhaust.

NO flowmaster they're good for american cars. My friend put one on his civic and now I constantly make fun of him cause its crap. Hes also a dumb@$$ and put plastic spinners on his stock wheels and he has 4 flowmaster stickers on his car. So again no flowmaster

id agree with the NO flowmaster. They make plenty of aftermarket pipes for V6 that are much better choices. o and no pace setter either cheap, but bad

just don't get the 40 series flowmaster if you decide to get one. i bought a flowmaster once without knowing the differences in the series and they threw on a 40. that thing droned like a mother ****er. i personally recommend magnaflow. i have straight through exhaust and the only time it drones is for a short period at around 2,000 rpm. i keep my rpms at 2,700-3,000 when cruising so there's no droning at all on the highway. just a thought.

Ravin also has a nice sound to it. None of the drone, and it doesn't have the honda bee can sound either. Has a nice mellow tone.

I sell ravin too.
BTW I think this one looks best :

ANSA make a similar one, but they only have 1 left and none on order.
I think I'm going to buy the ANSA one, twice the price, but it's ANSA

would it sound like crap with a auto tranny? i have heard some other cars that do with aftermarket exaust.....

that is a good looking muffler. is it a straight through design or is it like a turbo muffler? How much is it?

as far as flowmaster goes. I loved them on my Chevelle, Nova and Camaro but think they sound funny on every import I have heard them on.

iTrader: (30)

not really sure about the design characteristics yet.
haven't had the money to buy one.
it runs about $100.

nissanmax89

well im trying to avoid that ever so stereotypical ricer sound..i do realize it is an import but rather than make my car sound like my W3's in my trunk id rather it magnify the sound of the engine...i know they sound good on the american cars, my friend put one on his Toyota Pickup and you didnt really notice that much of a difference...but i do have an automatic..i dunno how good its gonna sound..so i dunno bad idea?

Go with the Flowmaster man I love the sound of mine, and i just recently added the WSP y pipe and it sounds like a corvette of even a trans-am, and mustang sound which i love, It gets the heads a turning when you go by, as for it giving any Horsepower increase in a dramatic amount well I don't think just a muffler on any 4 or 6 cyclinder car is going to give you any really noticable increase, there just for show unless you have the headers y-pipe and high flow cat. But yeah man go for the Flowmaster, i have a 50 series on mine i believe, or maybe the 40 i put it on 2 years ago and i can't really remember, as for the above statement in a previous thread about problems with the 40 series, i don't really know what the problem could have been, He might have had the racing series muffler, i have the Sport series PIPE and its just perfect for me, if i had a way to record it and show you i would

nissanmax89

well if i do it ill record it and let you guys hear it lol.

there's 40 series "the original" which is supposed to be off road and race applications and then the 40 series delta flow. i know the guys there wouldn't have installed the former being a race/off road muffler so it was probaby the delta flow.

it definitely droned (resonated) way too much for my tastes. enough that sometimes my ears were stuffy after driving for a while. that was with a stock exhaust system as well. most like you have a 50 series if the interior noise isn't that high.

yeah man i think you'll be happy with it, go with the sport muffler when they ask you either racing or sport i got mine from A&A auto idk if you have heard of it, but they should be able to hook you up

another complaint about the flowmaster is that it wasn't stainless steel and rusted in less than a week of owning it. the magnaflow i got was cheaper and was full stainless steel. much better imo.

I sell magnaflow

max_on_17

kcidmil

You can check out Ravin's designs here. www.goravin.com I love mine, at idle it has a nice chugging sound, loud enough to hear it in the car, but not too loud. And the tone is nice and deep up till around 3200 rpm, then it dies off. But you can always get a smaller series than mine.

Since my dad is gone out of the country until March, I have his car. He just had a new catback on his car with a Brand B resonator and Brand B really tiny chambered muffler (about 10-12"). It sounds really nice and sporty, not loud at all. I think I'm going to swap it with mine in the mean time until he gets back

Brand "B"?

Brand B=generic

It sounds really nice, just a sporty tone without any signs of aftermarket muffler-type noise. If you ever heard the exhaust on a E36 325i, the tone is similar. I wish I knew who makes the muffler, but on the invoice/receipt, it just says 'muffler' $14.47 ect...
