What muffler would you recommend, i only want a single tip, but i want it to be pretty loud but not ricey...

 

not sure, I haven't tryed any out yet.
most people here like the magnaflows.
look at maganflows site, pick a # and I'll get you a price on it.

 

Another thing is i kinda want my exhaust to make that like popping noise when i slow down, how is it possible to accomplish that one?

 

Magnaflow #14716

 

$75 plus shipping

 

Now that's just rice!

 

that magnaflow is really close to what i have, i think i got the 14827. The think with that 14716 is youll then need tips, becuase it wont have one, or you could go tipless.

I got a sound clip of it here.

here is the link


im sorta looking for something "not so loud" so if you want to buy mine, i could probably go for 75 plus shipped, its almost brand new. It was 120 brand new i think.

 

So any muffler shop will weld on a muffler for me that i didnt buy from them? How much does a muffler shop charge for such a duty?

 

 

pretty much, but the price will vary by the shop

 

You really think so? Maybe we are thinking of a different noise, or maybe not, but i always love hearing muscles cars slow down when the exhaust is popping... But if ricers do that i need to go hide for awhile.

 

Anyone have like a ball park figure, are we talking like 20, 50? 1 million dollars

 

$20 -$50 sounds about right

 

Triple G, how soon are you looking to get rid of your muffler/ how soon could you get rid of it. I have the money whenever you want to do this if you still want to.

 

I'm pretty sure the noise you describe has nothing to do with the muffler itself and it is actually the engine making little exhaust backfires or something like that... been a while since I thought about it so I can't remember what the noise is caused by.


Just to note, you don't actually want backpressure, you just want more exhaust velocity. Because custom piping is sometimes too big at lower engine speeds you can kill exhaust velocity so it doesn't scavenge out the gasses as efficiently. A 2.5" or 3" exhaust system may work great at high RPM, but it might not be as efficient at lower RPM because the engine isn't moving that much gas out. A few custom exhausts actually neck down (like 2.75"-->2.5"-->2.25" for example) to compensate for the gasses condensing as they go down the pipes.

 

So when i put a new muffler on do you think i should run like a 2.25 pipe? What size is the standard on max's?

 

That black dual tip muffler up there is a ractive muffler, i had it on my max before i did the dual exhaust, (which happens to be 2 dual tip mufflers hehe) . That black muffler though is nice and it sounds realllly good, but....(theres the but) it rusted out and fell off my car after 2 years. the back of it rusted out and came apart to where just the rubber brackets were holding it up. i payed like 120 for it like 3 years ago. sounds really deep though not raspy at all. looked really good on my max too but like i said its not stainless and will rust out up here in the salty ct.

 

just goto the local junkyard.... just paid 20$ for a dual tip, all
the way back to the cat..

heres my old single tip that blew out



and while we are at it, my 79 slicktop 280zx
