Magnaflow muffler : what size?
I'm planning on getting a muffler shop to put on a magnaflow universal muffler with 2.5" piping tommorow.
My questions for you guys are...
-What size muffler should I get? They have: 4" x 9", 5 x 8, or 5 x 11.
-Also, should I get the: sameside offset, offset/center, center/center, or offset/offset? My car is a 1994 Civic Hatchback VX. Thanks.

if your planning on getting 2.5 piping for a VX motor, that is too big for that motor, get something smaller, like 2 1/4.

cuz a little backpressure is a good thing, and since you're only pushing 1.6 liters worth of exhaust, 2.5" exhaust is a little much, unless they do crush bends, in which case the diameter will be effectively decreased anyways. Try to get 2.25" MANDREL bent tubing.

Re: Magnaflow muffler : what size? (besouza)
your not going to have enough back pressure, so u will lose power, muffler shops will recommend 2 1/4 over 2.5, 2.5 is for like built motor guys or who have motor swaps, but as for size of muffer 4x9 is a good size, dont want anything too wide.

nope, just try to get mandrel bends instead of crush bends<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by besouza »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Alright, thanks! Anything else you think I should worry about?</TD></TR></TABLE>
