hey pplz....my max. is a 2k2 auto.. i am just wondering.....
would a muffler affect the speed of da car?!
becoz after i installed the muffler ..my car seems like loss of power when i am giving the first step....everytime have to go up to 3000rpm then will see the power of the car?! any problem with that?? also i want to know in what way to drive i can save up some gass??! thank you

 

never rev higher than 3000 rpm, it's what has worked for me in this $2 a gallon period of gas prices

 

Just changing just the muffler should not have a big effect on the performance side.

How to save gas:

Yeah don't Ravving it over 3K all the time, and accelerate like a grandma when picking up speed.

Obey speed limit!! (Very hard to do for some)
check tire pressure once a month.
make sure to do all tune ups on time.
Lose some weight (Remove all "extra" weight from your car)
Theres more, but I'm too lazy to list them..

 

Get the 5thGen 2k/2k1 Muffler.

 

The 2k-2k1 muffler is the same as the 2k2-2k3 muffler...

 

duh!! He's losing low end torque with that muffler-

 

You're right...

 

hey BEEJO- how many threads u need w/ same subject- Anyway, when I put in my franken intake,
I lost low end but gained a bit more top end-

 

Everytime one changes the stock muffler- without
changing the b pipe(where the real exhaust gains comes from) u are just adding noise = fart can
In our case our stock variable muffler works in harmony with our variable intake /CVVT to give
us optimal efficiency/performance

I'll say this- our stock mufflers w/ the internal valve structure are better than ANY muffler you can buy
out there performancewise- Now if u want stainless steel (look) and noise (rice) than u may lose performance

 

if u just have the muffler .. your messing with the pressures... there are engineers that build the stock muffler to have the right pressure.....
if u want gain...u have to buy a whole exaust system... even then ... you're still messing with the pressures a little..

 

so.......it means mah muffler is not good for my car now rite?

 

Do you really think that the muffler makes that much of a pressure difference? This is such a terribly conceived old wives tail...it just isn't true. If you have an aftermarket muffler with the capability of more flow, it will help out the engine at all power levels. Just changing the muffler alone will not have a negative effect on your engine. Changing the entire exhaust system (to a much greater flow) while still in a relatively stock state, will, however...
