is it possible to to use a stock muffler on 2.5" exhaust piping? would the stock muffler hurt the performance of my turbo d? i want to stay away from aftermarket exhuast because i do not want to deal with cops and i want a quiet ride. thanks!

 

always but better to go with aftermarket. or buy borla or something like that, they arent that loud and not a HUMONGOUS "5" inch tip like others. other than that your down pipe should connect right to your stock flanges.

that's a bottleneck with the stock muffler. what i had was 2.5 piping/no cat/dynomax muffler. it was crazy loud. i was so paranoid driving around town. i went to a muffler shop and got a 2.5/ inlet-outlet turbo muffler/chambered-offset design. it sounds so quiet, and looks so stock (oval shape) without constricting to smaller piping. gotta love that

 

if you want the best perf. get an R&D thermal 3" exhaust they look stock except for the 4" tip and the stainless steel but i think it looks really good

 

do not do that. My buddy had a 200 whp motor, 2 1/5 inch piping on a muffler that size, sooo loud and annoying, and still restricts airflow

 

are you talking about the R&D exhaust because it didnt look like it would be that loud

 

talk about a huge bottleneck, just pick up a magnaflow muffler for your setup. If not just keep your stock piping and pick up an ecutout
