I need to find a muffler simple enough, I have listened to the clips and all on here, but I want to know what yall have, right now I have custom piping with an apexi N1 muffler (the real one) and it sounds like ***, it sputters....sooo i need a replacement what do yall recommend.

 

A b-pipe with a resonator and an A33 muffler.

 

sorry to rape the thread...but whats quieter..a apexi ws2 muffler og an sp2 muffler?

 

..

 

The apexi N1 is definetely loud and obnoxious

 

yep its pretty

 

my dynomax is really quiet.

 

I`m gonna try the ole budget ractive muffler of some sort thursday I`ll let you all know if it is or if I get lucky and it is . Its gotta sound better than my broke off pipe blowing over what`s left of the oem muffler (which doesn`t sound bad below 3000 rpm lol, before it changes over to rattle rattle pop zzzz)

 

Which model # is that one?

 

Not sure off the top of my head. I picked it out at the muffler shop. I`ll letyou know tommorow after the install

 

The Ractive mufflers I've seen are straight through design. Unless you still have on the stock Y and B pipes its gonna be loud.

 

I`m on stock ypipe, custom bpipe and I dont mind loud just as long as it`s smoother than the broken exhuast was with its rattles

 

Oh yes. Perfect tone and loudness level



...can you tell I'm a fan of the setup?

 

Any particular reason not to stick with the OEM A32 or A33 mufflers? My A32's muffler is very quiet. Do the OEM mufflers prevent any y-pipe horse power gains? -Sloppy

 

1-2 hp, ... Stick with the stock unit.

 

Would an aftermarket, oversized resonator pipe make an OEM muffler quieter? Anyone try this yet? -Sloppy

 

As long as you have a resonator- Flowmaster

 

OEM muffler alreay is quiet The resonator on the stock pipe is already a big boy.

 

So that's where the whole "size matters" bumper sticker came from! A Johnny Holmes resonator!

 

Cant hear anything at all with a A32 muff, the dynomax how a low low deep growl...

 

Cattman, or SP2

 

My A33 muffler has a very nice growl. With 2.25" custom b-pipe + high-flow resonator, it's plenty loud enough and surprises all kinds of people with how it sounds. I just lack a y-pipe...then it should be perfect volume and tone.

 

y- pipe might make it a bit more (significantly) louder.

When did you turn 17?

 

Werd your not the youngest on the org no mo

 

I'm thinking of going with the Stillen exhaust.

 

He hasn't been for the past year or so ...

 

Loud and annoying and it drones, but if you like that sort of thing :

 

Y-Pipe + Custom 2.5" Bpipe (Resonated) + A33 Muffler = FTW

Hands down, no better setup.


Pat, get the y-pipe and you'll love the A33 muffler even more. Gives it that nice "G35" growl imo. Havent had one complaint about this setup yet, just gotta get that extra hanger welded onto the muffler.

 

i thgink the stillen is really annoying......it sounds like crap to me....i have the A33 muffler off a 2001 and it is very quiet....but i hate noise.

 

BLUEC

You got a clip to prove your G35 growl? I would love to hear that...

 

Not really. 10 degrees out so I probably wont get one for awhile. Sorry.

 

Everyone here thinks their car sounds like a G35 lately.

 

I turned 17 this past Sunday (the 27th). I'm officially not the most knowledgeable 16-year-old on the .org anymore
Oh, I'm gonna love it

 

My setup, Budget Y-pipe w/ Magnaflow Muffler #14818. Great setup. Low growl under 2700. Over 3k, sounds like stock. If you want even quieter, i would recommend Magnaflow #14829 cause the double wall design is even quieter.

Tatanko: WE HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY!!! How awesome is that? (I turned 17 too)

 

16 years and 368 days

 

Cool...I must not have noticed that day when I looked at the other birthdays
Forever 16 I guess? Haha...

 

How about posting an under the car picture of that Custom 2.5" Bpipe (Resonated) + A33 Muffler "cat-back" setup?

 

will pics prove? A maxima cat-back is actually pretty boring to look at.

Clips > pics in the exhaust realm, but nothings greater than a dyno.

 

* just caught on to the "a33" muff... you mean the CHASSIS A33! rofl uh... my 2 cents... you want a smaller muffler diameter. don't get one you can fist ****, because the velocity of the air will not be as great. I'm a chef, and if this makes any sense to anyone, it's like using a pastry bag to say, decorate a cake! (u know, those roses aka rosettes). you start off with a large amt of stuff *in this case air and exhaust gasses, for exhaust*, it is put under pressure, and if it is steady and forceful enough, it will create the best result. If the air comes out too fast, in NA applications, exhaust velocity will be lost, and the vacuum will be lessened. the vacuum effect is what speeds the gasses out. this is what i understand and have experienced with exhausts.
so, a high-flow y pipe, cat, maybe a slightly smaller diameter b-pipe and medium diameter muffler should do the trick. With too small a muffler, you'll create too much backpressure, which is BAD for motors.

 

^^^. Or you can just use the Bernouli's equation or the Macroscopic Mechanical energy equation to find the kind of exhaust you want.
