Default choices for 3" mufflers for turbo pictures

I am wanting something new with my turbo muffler.

Current I have the Thermal 3" catback system and want to change the muffler to a different one. The Thermal is getting to sound kind dull to me. I want something that is more crisp/deep and does not look like the apexi n1 or greddy evo looks. I prefer the apexi ws2 look (yes i know they sell a 3" one) but am wondering what choices I have there.

Mine currently looks like this. Kind of dark but its a oval cannister with muffler.



I did a little search and usually I can find the "post up your 3" mufflers" or "post up your turbo mufflers" but cant find anything.

Anyone have any suggestions.

Have you looked into the Vibrant flat black muffler? Also what is the rest of your setup? Just one muffler and the rest piping or what?

Thanks. Ill look into the vibrant looks like alot of people like it as well. I will look into sound clips of those.

If any others feel free to post up.

My car has full thermal 3" setup. I wanted to save money by keeping the piping and going with a different muffler.

Car setup is a fully build ITR turbo.

I bought the apexi 80mm ws2 muffler.

It will not fit Integras because the height from the muffler outlet to the top of the muffler is too large to allow the muffler to fit correctly. Just FYI for those who look into it.

Any other brands of 3" I should look into that is as quiet as the ws2?

DynoMax Super Turbo mufflers. I use to have one on my old Integra and everybody use to ask me if it was an RS*R exhaust system. Check out this sound clip of a DynoMax Super Turbo Muffler and a 1.6l Mazda Miata.

I'm running 3" downpipe with no cat. Then 3" exhaust with 2 magnaflow mufflers. I have the 4" round body in the middle and then an oval muffler at the rear. It sounds good. Not much else you can do to quiet it down anymore. Here is a video from my iPhone.

I am not sure if the underbody of the Type Rs and regular Integras are the same. I am speaking as if they are the same

The frame underneath did not allow the muffler to sit correctly. The ws2 muffler outlet is offset more towards the middle/lower of the muffler with a good 3" above the muffler tip. This would leave a 1" wall of muffler housing making the muffler to look to sit very low. This also makes the muffler tip now sit high towards the rear lip but a great deal underneath it which makes it look very funny and weird.

The max height of the muffler from the tip to the top of the muffler needs to be 2" max for Integras.

Vibrant one flat black muffler! Have one on my boosted 2000 SI with 3' downpipe back, no cat, with a vibrant one 12' resonator. Looks stock ( so you dont get pulled over ) and its quiet, but when u get on it and the wastegate opens up it sounds uber nice. I have the same set up on my 94 coupe with 2 1/4' pipes but thats not turboed and its a bit loud and kinda annoying. So if ur boosted id highly recomend it

Besides looks, the main influence on the sound of your exhaust is the diameter, type and length of your resonator(s)!

So the longer the resonator or the more you have the quieter/deeper your exhaust will be... I have 14" 3" Vibrant resonator w/ a Megan N1... It's super quiet, and my engine idle/rev is much louder than my exhaust! So basically pick a muffler style you like, I didn't mind the look of the N1 Style on my crx, but the resonator is the biggest component here...
