Muffler

I searched didnt find anything. Are the stock exhausts 2 inch or 2.5 inches?
As for mufflers, whats the the intake pipe, is it centered or offset. Please and thanks

2 of em have seen the crazy torque it puts out. They were both in the car and it was raining. Turn right, spun the tires the entire turn, then they gripped, got mad torque steer, then spun again before i let off the gas lol

And I hope it does. I dont like the big loud fart cans, I like em sounding deep, low, and not too loud

i have a so-called "fart can" and mine doesnt sound bad or ricey at all. Jus deep low bass. I let ppl at the maxi meet listen and its not too far off from greddy sound, jus doesnt reverbrate as much cuz i dont have the 2.5" piping catback.

I know ricey. Fart can on a civic is ricey. My car DONT sound like that. I have a sound clip i can email to u if u want to hear.

I was thinking of buying a muffler tip to put over my stock one. That way it will fit in the grooved area of the bumper. Should I just go to auto zone and get one or what?

Edit: Also, my stock one is a little bit rusted.

I dont really want any noise. Its sounds good with my intake already. I just want a tip that is chrome and looks new.

FlowMaster 50

Thats what I want to buy. My question is, is just bolt on and you're good. Do they come with those mounting hangars already welded on?

Yup.

If u dont wanna experiment and want proven sound and performance get Greddy.

THe flowmaster is not bolt on. U will need hangers as well. If u go to a muffler shop then u shd be good but any mechanic can put it on for u. You will need to get it welded.

I never said he pays for stuff for my car ahah, he'll pay for needed repairs, thats it. Anything else is my responsibility. So im hoping my muffler falls off, right after i buy the flowmaster. It'd be really convenient..
