Hello All,

I am in the market of a new muffler.

I had some noise near the muffler section whenever I hit a hard bump and I looked underneath and found that the B-pipe resonater material is peeling off and the muffler is 60% rusted.

So, I guess it's either stay with a stock 4th gen muffler/B-pipe, or take the adventurous route to those C-class AMG mufflers (I really like the way they look) or 5th gen muffler.

Anybody has opinion on this? What's the stock 4th gen muffler CFM rating? I was told that droning is caused by using a muffler that does not have enough CFM compared to its stock.

I am looking for a quiet exhaust, although I don't mind the tone when the car is on power, like those with Lexus SC430/Bimmers.

 

Do you havea budget or just what ever sound best?

 

How do you know I have a budget Y?

Ohh...well, my budget is modest. Under $200 maybe?

 

I have a budget Y & B pipe with renonator and a 2k1 muffler. Silent at idle & on the highway but has a throaty sound when you stomp on it ( small V8).

 

Thanks maxger. Seems to me that's the combo I want to have. It's just that the tip of the muffler from 5th gen is a rectangular...whereas the cutout on the 4th gen stock bumper is round. Thus the Mercedes muffler.

 

cherry bomb turbo II muffler. $18.99. no restriction, you could hold it on with your bare hands, i did to test fit it. oh it doesnt come with tip, so just buy a ss one for like 15 dollars

 

The tip I have now is the rectangular one but if you get a later style stockmuffler 2002-2003 they come with duel tips i believe. I was or still am going to get a another stock 4th gen muffler tip and install them on a 5 th gen muffler. Tried the one that I took off my old muffler and it fits on one of the 2k1 exhaust pipes. Just need another to see if 2 can fit side by side. Anyone ever do this?

 

i dont think stock will fit two, and if you did, it would be a fake one, which i think is stupid

 

My setup is custommaxima y, cattman b, and stock muffler and its very quiet until you get on it. Best advice would be get a new stock muffler or get the 5th gen to keep it quiet
