I just finished having a new wsp y-pipe put on. My cat conv. was bad and pipe and muffler was in bad shape due to years of salt in chicago winters.
I wanted to save $$ and had my sons friend to the work very cheap.(I know, you get what you pay for. He installed the y-pipe, took off the cat conv.and installed a new magnaflow muffler for me. The prob. is the sound is much louder than I expected and it sounds like I get alot of kicked back rumbling. He put in 2.25 size pipes. How do I cut down on the sound some. I still have to install my intake I purchased from warpspeed.
The performance has definitly increased and the job looks good,no leaks.
Thanks

 

Get a different muffler.

 

Noises that comes out of end:
Take piece of 1" - 2" thinwalled steelpipe, drill diff size holes =make it swiss cheese. Insert this holed pipe into exhaust pipe: rip the ends as a star to support and stick. Lenght? 10" or more; keep testin...

Noise from under the hood; Ypipe:
wrap around sound insulator; go shoppin

Noise overall:

Do you not have a catalytic converter now? Your post said nothing about putting one back. That might help. Otherwise get a different muffler or turn the stereo up.

 

Did he install a resonator? That's probably the problem right there along with the muffler choice.

 

The biggest resonator isn't gonna bring down the sound of a Magnaflow too much....I'm on my 3rd resonator now, and it is still a little loud for my tastes.

 

how much does a Y pipe + the rest of the exhaust cost , if i want to go from a single to a duel exhaust

 

was it stillen that has duels for out maxoimas???

 

What style of magnaflow is it you have on your car ? I am looking at the street stainless series with the dual tips and that is the one thing I am worried about,it being too loud.

any style you want, I can get.
and I shouldn't be able to be beat on the pricing either

I have that and it is pretty loud.

 

That is the exact muffler I want mizeree,Does it sound bad loud i should say,like stupid sounding loud? I rather enjoy how quiet my car is but I wouldn't mind if it was a little louder i guess. Could I get you to do me a favour however and measure the width of the tips ( from outside to outside) becasue I want to know for sure if it will fit nicely inside the opening on the stillen kit or if I will have to get the round ones..

I am also possibly just thinking of getting the magnaflow singlewall stainless tips in the same shape.. internetautomart can you get those also?

BJ White

PS: sorry for hijacking your thread

 

yup .

 

excellent,then coudl you pm me a price on the 2 exhaust tips the same (the oval single wall ones part number #35129) and also the price you oculd give me on the same muffler as mizeree has part number #14830

Also I heard the sound files of the race series magnaflows,does anyone have a link to a sound file for the street series on a maxima?

Thanks alot

 

You got PM

 

Honestly, I'd get tips w/ a double wall instead of rolled like mine. If I could do it again that's what I'd choose. I'll try and remember to take those measurements after work today. It has a great tone, not ricey at all, but it is loud. If you get it, buy the largest resonator you can possibly stuff on your b-pipe.

 

I am looking for a quiet muffler to go with my warpspeed 2.5" mandrel-bent resonated b-pipe and y-pipe. Right now the Edelbrock RPM series "straight through" is too boomy at low RPMs, although the system sounds nicer and more quiet at higher RPMs, I want it to be quiet at low RPMs too.

I suspect the 3-chambered magnaflow "XL" design would be quieter than the standard magnaflow "straight through" style. Magnaflow XL muffler part number 13256 (18" case length, 2.5" inlet and outlet size, center/offset style) looks like it might be just the ticket. Has anyone tried a Magnaflow XL on their max and how loud was it?

internetautomart: can you get magnaflow part number 13256, and if so can you quote me how much it would be shipped to 98040? Thanks!

 

I'd PM you but you don't post ***** enough :
$60 shipped sound fair?

 

Thanks for your quick response. I am interested in trying it out and I just sent you an e-mail via the forum e-mail function.

 

I also wanted to add that I just now picked up a NAPA "quiet-flow 3" muffler (made by Walker for NAPA) which had offset in and offset out, and 19" case length. Case height and width was 4.25" x 9.75". It's part number was 22393. It turned out that due to the offset/offset configuration it didn't fit quite right, so I'm going to have to return it, which they said I could do in that event. I could have got part number 21856 which was the offset / center configuation, but it would have been a special order. I did slip the quiet-flow 3 muffler temporarily over the exhaust tubing and ran the motor without moving the car to see how the engine sounded, IE - giving it a few revvs, and anyway it was definitely a lot quieter with that muffler.

 

how much should a warpspeed Y-pipe cost?

 

Call warpspeed and tell them you're an org member. I got mine $160 shipped. I finally installed my warpspeed intake. I went with the dual tip magnaflow because I heard it on a '89 Z and it sounded good. Mine is a little louder and from what I've researched, if I put a high flow cat back on I will cut down on some of the noise. The intake seemed to have leveled off the sound some. Better air flow going through probably.

 

would you know the number or the website i could get it off of/

 

im looking to open up my exhaust a bit, y-pipe, full exhaust, but i really dont want it to be any louder than it already is, are there any mufflers out there that n e one knows of that open it up but will keep it quieter,,,, i like the whole sleper car thing
THanks for any help

 

2k2 muffler

 

do you have them or can you get them?

~Alex

 

Just 2k2? I thought any 5th gen muffler had good flow and quiet results. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 2k2-2k3 mufflers have dual tips, right?

 

not yet .

 

I got a shop to do the muffler just liki i want... you should try that... i trey diff sounds/mufflers

 

Hey I just got the Magnaflow Turbo XL muffler (part number 13256) from internetautomart. It is lookin' great to say the least! If my eyes aren't deceiving me, I swear this thing is 400 series stainless, and not merely aluminized-coated mile steel like Magnaflow advertised it!

Can't wait to install it... which I will probably do tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it turns out...

 

where can i get a 2k2 or 2k3 muffler at??? do i go to the stealership???? and about how much would one cost?



this is muffler related, thats why i posted here

 

I got the magnaflow turbo XL muffler on and it's not as quiet as I'd hoped for. The Edelbrock RPM series actually muffles high-RPM noise better, but both mufflers let through lots of "boominess" right off idle. Which is where the automatic drives around a lot and well, just not a good match with the automatic I don't think. I think to quiet down that low-RPM resonance, maybe there needs to be a more substantially sized mid-muffler / AKA resonator.

That NAPA QuietFlow^3 muffler I tried was much quieter than both Magnaflow XL and Edelbrock RPM.
