Cheap Auto Zone muffler???
 

OK I recently got a new muffler for my car a Cherry Bomb Turbo 2 muffler..(not a glasspack!). It is made by the same company, anyways it was like $21.00 or something, SUPER CHEAP, it has a 2.5" inlet and the same size outlet. Looks good IMO, but I was wondering about sound quailty. I have a custom catback..2.5" piping to a Pro #1 canister style muffler. No resonator. It is loud and UGLY!!! I am going to get this Turbo 2 put on soon. I have a Tanabe Mid pipe for a CRX that has to lenghted for the Civic, I will be running a CAT and the Tanabe has a resonator on it, What do you think this application will sound like...BTW this Tubro 2 muffler is a oval style and looks really close to the ES Oval muffler, with no BLING,BLING. http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsmile.gif

HELL YEAH!!!!!! i got that muffler, but the difference its that i didnt get it @ autozone. i got it at my old job place......
anyways..... that exhaust will quiet ur car a lot...... i take my rear section and my car its loud as hell., and with the tmuffler its quiet.....sounds good between 750-3000 rpms....... after that stays quiet, but offering a hi-flow carasteristic..... its very good for the air flow..... IMO its a good muffler, but too quiet. i want something louder..... maybe u can sell me ur muffler jejejeje

Re: Cheap Auto Zone muffler??? (ED6)

Is this muffler a straight-through design?

Re: Cheap Auto Zone muffler??? (NINJASPY)
 

haha, those design provide perfect back pressure and volume.

If you can't tell I'm being sarcastic.

Re: Cheap Auto Zone muffler??? (w00t!)
 

Yes it is the whole muffler. I got mine for $21.54 with a Lifetime warranty.



What are you talking about? This is a good cheap muffler which will increase back pressure in turn making it quieter, But less then stock so it will flow good. Have you had on of these, is that why you feel you have to talk shit?

Way to put the "Shut Up" on him...... I think he's mad because he bought some ricer muffler at Pep-boys for $150 and now everyone makes fun of him. Sheeeeeeit $20 beans for something that may be a little better than stock is fine in my book, Much better than paying $400 beans for a fart can that makes things worse! Then again what would I know about anything?

Re: Cheap Auto Zone muffler??? (ED6)
 

did you guys not read the post just before his?
he was busting on the straight through muffler not your $20 piece


thats how i understood it atleast

Re: Cheap Auto Zone muffler??? (tylerspec)
 

woohoo...picked mine up today. 16 bucks plus 3.50 for the muffler tip (2.5"). not bad for 20 bucks. Whoever post this originally..THANX!

Re: Cheap Auto Zone muffler??? (MugenHonda)
 

well, this is 20 bucks for the muffler and 100 for the pipping. $120! http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsmilep.gif

Wonder how it performs/sounds? I always read on another board guys were going with the dynomax turbo muffler and custom piping.

I got my 5 Zigen axle back with custom piping for about $200 bucks, and I thought I got a good deal http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsmilep.gif

Re: Cheap Auto Zone muffler??? (Brandon Chun)
 

Well I am putting on the muffler soon and I will let you guys know, how it sounds and perfroms and such. http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsmile.gif

i got one from kragen when i saw a kid with a ef hatchback and i can slightly here his exhuast but not really so i asked him what kinda exhuast is it he told me, he had 2.25 pipping all the way, so i asked him what kinda muffler and he told me kragen muffler.

the brand i got was a
flowtech-raptor, in 2.25

yeah its cheap but i dont want a fart can or did not have money for a Es oval i needed something cheap to get the job done.

i bought it for 20bux
got the pipes done.

quiet as hell cant here a damn thing at all. i get on it you can tell but only a little works good

edit: wow didnt know it was 2years old, naw im not going to flame you at least u know its 2 years old lol

Re: (Ba4)
 

I had one of them turbo mufflers on my crx, it was really quiet. Just put on a magnaflow straight through oval with 2.25" piping and feels a whole lot stronger from 3500 rpm to redline. Its still quiet by using a 16" resonator in the mid section.

Magnaflow straight-thru can be had for around $50.

Re: Cheap Auto Zone muffler??? (flat-blk-HB)
 

yeah i did the same thing to my 4 door when i put my b16 in it it look just like the stock muffler,the only problem i had is when it exploed when i was using my two step to lanch at the track,but other than that i fool a lot of people in thinkin my car was stock because they thought i had a stock exhaust...$$$$$

Re: Cheap Auto Zone muffler??? (B SERIES US)

Re: (92integra_gs)
 

i just had it installed...

got the $19.98 muffler from advance auto... it was item # 17713 i THINK....

anyway, i also got a 20" or so long cherry bomb from autozone... another $20

used 2.25" piping... crush bent.

no catalytic convertor.

piping and installation was $70....

sounds just a little louder than stock
but JUST slightly.... but it's very quiet, inside the cabin especially.... i'm very happy with it thus far...
