Its just the rear muffler. Also I've got the GAB.

Heres a vid with NO MUFFLER


Heres one with new muffler

 

the no muffler vid sounds SICK!!!!

mufflers not bad.

 

Sounds good. I love how it sounds without the muffler. Not smooth at all, but she screams! Are you doing full exhaust soon?

 

Im not sure yet. Probably not. Ima roll like this for a while till moneys right

 

I just had my y pipe installed today in my 01 and my car sounds like yours in the "no muffler" video, except without the backfire. Sounds good in both though, good job

 

hows the drone?

 

forgive me for the noob question but what do you mean by drone?

 

when it idles does it make a sort of loud vibrating/"droning" noise that is easily heard in the cab?

 

Some what. But its not Thatt loud. Its real deep at 2200. You can hardly hear it after 3500

 

that's good.

it sounds really nice!

 

interesting...

 

not bad i just purchased one also ill put up something when i get to putting it in next week

 

lol, i was JUST about to ask that

 

i just purchased a Megan catback, hopefully...It doesnt sound that bad, Ima keep the stock muffler, and if i cant deal with the drone im gonna go back to the stock muffler, or find a Magnaflow

 

Holy crap, your coming up eh..

sounds mean without the muffler ahah

Whats next for your car?

 

not bad for $20 lol

 

dam, for only $20 thats sounds good

 

sounds interesting.. I like.

 

should have kept it without the mufflers.

 

thanks guys. I'm waiting to see how those OBX headers turn out. If they are any good. I will try n get those.

 

it looks like im the only who thinks stock is far better

 

I'm with you. Sure, it would be nice if the stock exhaust had a little more sound like the G35 or 350Z but on long trips it sure is nice having a quiet exhaust.

Still, it isn't bad for aftermarket.

 

i took the resonator off my 01 and got magnaflow hiflow cat, and flowmaster 40 series muffler to top it off. i love the sound of this car, sounds great for 20 bucks!

 

you got any install pics? because from what i see that muffler is significantly shorter then the stock muffler...did you just cut the old one off and weld on an extention pipe and weld it in place?,.. do the hangers line up?

 

Yea. Its way smaller. I had to get a 2 to 2.5inch adapter welded on to the pipe. My friend installed it in his shop and he didnt have one of those pipe benders so i went to autozone and picked up one of those exhaust flex pipes and clamped both ends, and for the hangers. I only used the 2 by the tips.. and its on there pretty tight. I'll post some pics up later.

 

I'm under the impression that the only exhaust part worth keeping stock in our cars is the rear-section; the only piece the OP replaced. Different strokes I guess.

 

pics installed

 

I might have to look into one of these... It has "Deep muffler sound"

 

LMAO at pic number 2..hey at least it works,..but that **** is GHETTO lol

 

Hell yea man. I can remove it whenever i want lol

 

That means it drones, lol.

 

How much louder would it get if i remover the resonator?

 

Not sure I can quantify how much louder, but it will be considerably louder, and the tone will be more raspy and not as "smooth". I personally think it'd sound like crap without a resonator, but some people like that.

If you want loud with a nice tone, get some good headers, keep your resonator. Listen to some of those exhaust clips in the sticky (whatever still works) and you might be able to get an idea.

 

crap how did you get passed inspection, that flex pipe will not pass here, there so fricking **** about that.

 

I got it inspected last month, but i dont think they care about. As long as theres no CEL

 

If your budget is that tight it's not too bad all things considered.

Good luck

 

not bad I might just pick one of these up. how much do you think it would cost with install?

 

I am not sure really. Back in the day when I had a honda. Midas charged me $70 to install the muffler. So it'll be somewhere around there.

 

damn i only got quoted 50 bucks to have my catback installed...and most other shops charge about 110 - 150 for an entire catback (bolt on that is)

 

50 bucks is a good price,i paid 60 for my catback to get installed
