I was looking on ebay and I found this. It is what I wanted because I was looking for something that would fit into the cutout of the bumper. Im not looking for anything performance wise I just really dont like the downward facing pipes.

Now, what would I be expecting with this..

Edit: Sorry, just got off work.. really tired..

 

Its handy if we can actually see what you're talking about.
Link?
Picture?

 

There we go..

 

You should buy it and report back.

 

the stock se square tip was the thing i hated most about my stock cars looks besides the wheel gap. i always thought it looked a little funky, but that tip might not look that bad, and looks like it would fit the contour pretty well.

try it out and let us know.

 

doesn't look bad.... buy it

 

you most likely have to get that muffler welded not to mention it could have the most horrifying exhaust note

 

Why not jus buy this instead? No need to get it custom fit or welded. I currently have this on my '02. Fitment is OEM and has a decent sound. Little to no drown in cabin.

That looks a lot better then what the OP posted. No offense OP.

 

^^yea I agree.....

 

what do you mean by a decent sound? have a decent growl? not wraspy at all is it?

 

yeah.. sound clip for the 100 dollar rear section

 

I might be able to get at idle and possible drive-by later tonight.

I have a 3yr old and a 5yr old and neither of them even noticed.

My 5yr old (son) notices every lil change in noises of cars. Like father like son...

...that's my boy!

 

can you take a pic of how the back of your car looks with the muffler

 

A pic and vids would be nice.

 

lol.. good stuff.. okay so if im understanding you right,.. it is basically a stock repalcement that made no difference in flow or noise?

 

Oh no. It's definately louder outside. Deep and low. Even at WOT, it's still a deep low mellow sound. And with 2.5" mandrel bends, it definately flows better.

But I highly doubt any significant power gains were achieved. Stock rear section is quite good. Basically, I felt like having something different that fit OEM and sounded more aggressive. This fit the bill...

It honestly looks almost identical to 5th gen stock SE muffler. So, with me having a 5.5 gen with 5th gen taillights and this muffler, it looks like I have a 5th gen with 5.5 gen headlights.

 

lol..how about a sound clip

 

As promised...

...and yes the car is FILTHY, but you get the idea.

It's dark out, about 32 degrees and the car was warmed up.

Modified OEM intake, VIAS block off plate, dual O2 simulator, and eBay axle-back performance exhaust.

^ Looks and sounds pretty good if you ask me.

 

Im going to have to agree. I dont know if its because my car is the VQ30DE and not the VQ35DE, but my stock exhaust doesnt even come close to sounding that throaty. Might just be the vid tho. Sounds good man!

 

dude that sounds pretty dam good.I see them on ebay for like 110.....I might buy one

 

lol good stuff for a cheap part

 

^ +1

 

just installed one on my 3.5 today. not much louder than stock. quiet at full throttle. needed a little tweaking when installed to stop hitting the rear suspension. will get pic's later this weak no sound though have nothing to record on. i think it is worth the money. main thing i noticed is that it weighs 1/3 of the original muffler.

 

^^ good to know.. did you buy just the muffler from the OP or the one thats an axel back that the other guy posted...

 

Does it come with the chick? YUMMY!!

 

that did sound pretty decent

 

i bought the axle back one


no it did not come with the chick. i wish it did

 

anybody have any setup suggestions to go with a megan stainless steel catback? a buddy of mine mentioned a midpipe w/ no cats, but then again i cant really listen to a guy who drives a vw lol

 

i would say header and y pipe and as for the friend idk what hes thinkin drivin a v-dub lol

 

minus the looks of it..i'm throughly impressed by how it sounds.

 

get a borla muffler with a vibrant performance exhaust

 

i just dont want it sounding too riceyy ya knoww.

 

Look in the Modifications Sticky. Under the Exhaust section, there is a link to a thread with various exhaust sound clips and also to a few different discussions on the Megan exhaust.

 

i have the borla muffler and the vibrant performance tip...it doesnt sound verry loud. i was thinking the same thing. i didnt want it to sound ricey. it sounds like a 350z sort of but a little quieter.

 

whats the diff. between y-pipes, test pipes, mid pipes, resonators, b-pipes etc. i see something new every day! i must admit i'm throughly confused

 

Do some research.

Y-pipes are before the cat.
Test pipes replace the cat.
Mid pipes and b-pipes are the same I believe. They're the piping before the muffler.
Resonators are part of the Mid pipe/b-pipe.

 

ahhh i see. i figured that some of them were in essence the same thing or had to do with the same things but thanks. much appreciated

 

No problem. Next time
