Hey guys/gals...

After a lot of headaches this weekend, i finally got my exhuast complete. I used a DynoMax Super Turbo Muffler(4.5 x. 9.5 x 18.5) with 3.5 x 8 inch stainless chrome resonated tips. The sound is great, i kinda regretted it at first yesterday as i had HORRIBLE drone. I mean, i couldnt cruse in 4th or 5th at like 35mph without BAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. But this was without the tips or pipping, just the muffler. Now however, its PERFECT, the tips (which are resonated) along with the pipping muted the exhuast ALOT. Its a nice deep throaty sound now. And NO DRONE. The shop used exhuast paint and painted the pipping going across so you cant see it. I know you can see the muffler, thats gonna change, gonna paint it black. Im also lowering it, so you wont see it as much...

Anyways, sorry for the babble...heres the pics, sorry for the dirty *** car...







Whatcha guys think?!

Not a bad thing to do for LOOKS if you got money laying around...

 

well...it didnt cost much at all actually...Cheaper than buying a cat back say. Your definately right, only for looks. It only cost me 130 for EVERYTHING...



Eric

 

That is cheap. I thought you were dumb enough to get that CUSTOMMAXIMA cat-back, sorry about that. I actually thought of getting a CAMARO turbo exhaust and getting that done sometime...

 

LOL, 700+ for a cat back?!!? i think NOT. Yeah, i thought of the camaro style, but their too loud (at least the Flowmasters are). You also have to wrap one side around the tire well and relocate the "black box"...



Eric

 

Looks nice, have you felt any torque loss because of the extra pipeing? v6 Mustangs tend to loose some torque with big pipeing on a dual exhaust convertion.

 

the tips stick out too mkuch but overall nice

 

looks nice...where did you get it done at?

 

No more than Stillen's muffler/tip

 

looks good.

 

Looks Great!

 

with a camaro style exhaust you do not need to move the black box. Flow masters are not that loud. Actually of all of the people that i know with exhausts, mine is the quietest!

 

Looks Good!!!

 

Looks really nice, where is craig to shed his light on this?

 

so u only ONE mufler and the other side is just piping?
Who cut the bumper for you?
Where did you get that done?
Can I see pics from the bottom?

 

not tryin to be picky, but the muffler on the left hand side seems to be a little bit tilted to the left, also ur outter red/clear tail doesn't really match with the inner tail

other than tat it looks great

 

That looks very clean and nice. It's not a performance gain, but it does look good.


Dave

 

How do you know? How do we know that this setup, or the camaro setup doesn't provide gains through the extra piping? How do we know it doesn't add more torque, or HP, or take away HP? How do we really know without numerous dynos?

 

actually i believe my duals gave me alot more torque! before the duals I could't spin my heavy chrome 18's after the duals i can peel out anytime!

 

hopefully it sounds as nice as it looks

 

looks very clean. i'd love to take a look at it from the bottom to see your layout. $150 is a very good price. my shop quoted me roughly the same for parts and labor. too bad i don't have a V6 anymore...

 

Wow, lots of replies...

RedMax: for a camaro style muffler, you must relocate the black box, its in the way...No going around or under it...

190hpKilla: Yes, its only one muffler, 2 wont fit obviously. me and my friend cut the bumper, not finished with that yet. Got it done at a local muffler shop (the welding at least), and ill get pics of the bottom when i have time..


Happyricefob: please show me outter red clears that match the inner red clears...not made...dont really know what your getting at there. And if your talking about the lines on the RED part, its the flash. The mufflers not croked, its the picture


Thanks to all for the compliments, i need to get my hand on someone who has a Video Cam who can upload to the net, and ill get some sound clips up...


Eric

 

So you have 1 stock muffler and one turbo muffler? Or 1 muffler and 2 pipes coming from it? Also what size piping did you use? I just want to see how it compares to mustangs cause I am planning on getting duals with 2.25" pipes.

 

looks good, i was comtemplating the duals, but i didnt want to spend the money. but $150 is awesome. i am starting to think about it again.

but my car is mainly performance oriented at the moment, so which will provide overall better gain? preferably down low, single muffler duals, or a custom b-pipe with muffler?

 

Noticed the same thing, but it still looks great and for a 130 bucks you can't beat that with a stick! I thought about going at my bumper with a dremel.

 

Sorry man I dont like it. Honestly dual exhaust does not belong in a maxima.

Sorry bro.

 

still not noticing the red clear thing you people are talking about...


And 99MustangV6, i have ONE DynoMax super turbo muffler, its what you see on the passenger side (not for long though) with TWO pipes...And the piping is 2.25...


Eric

 

the tips are perfectly sticking out but i would make them a little closer to the bumper. Overall nice setup. You should get a dual exhaust back bumper kit to complete the look.

 

The part they cut just doesnt look even with the other side, other then that it looks good.

 

Mymuffler is camaro style and the black box is still there and not moved!

 

I think it looks good; of course, with a custum rear valence (like the skyline) that has dual exhaust cut-outs, it would really look sick.

 

looks good, cant beat the price either

 

can ya post some pics? If im thinking correctly, with a camaro style muffler you must go around the tire well, no? I know craig did it that way...


It would look better with a custom rear bumper of course, but im not interested in a bodykit...least not in the immediate future. Im gonna work on the cut out some more when i get time, ill post some newer pics when i finish working on it...


Eric

 

Looks tight man, nice job. The only suggestion I would have is to Dremel the original cutout so it matches the one on the left. Way to rep the beige.

 

Nice Setup, Do you get feel any changes in the car? you think your car is faster then before? just give some feed back I like to know.

 

Yeah, thats definately being done this weekend sometime. I nedd some time, working alot...

you know, actually yes, there is a difference. Its not something i felt, but rather i saw. Heres the story:

I race my friend MaxPowerX's stock except for a K&N filter 99 Max frequently, well i never pull on him, i have a Ypipe, and homemade intake. Weeeell, yesterday night, we both pull up to a light and he says "wanna see if the those tires help ya". So we go. Of course i blotch the luanch, dumped the clutch, spun all through 1st. By the time we shift into 2nd, he has a FULL car if not more on me. Well, by the time we shut down at around 120mph, i pulled on him about 1 full car. My car just seems to pull alot more on the upper revs where it used to choke out, so im satisfied, and i think it was money well spent in the performance and looks department...


Eric

 

Nice

 

thanks. I did some more fine tuning with the hole, smoothed alot of it out...Also, you cant see the muffler anymore
