hey guys..this is what im rocking now


yes..the driveways etc owned my muffler. since i will be rewelding the pipe/muffler and having a slant look i was wondering if i should completely replace the muffler or just weld that hole shut. any suggestions?

 

depending on your location and how you do weld it..rust will come onto that spot and eat on.

If anything pickup a new muffler

 

the thing is, its my daily driver which means the same may happen to the new muff..even worse. just wondering if the ground clearance is worse on a slanted muff compared to a straight

 

i would weld it, then sand it down a little bit and hit it with some primer, then some silver/chrome spray paint to keep the rust away, may be ghetto, but there's no sense in buying a new muffler to scrap it on a speed bump or angled drive way, then your another 100 in the whole.....plus its on the bottom of the muffler i assume, so no1 is going to see it,
hope this helps......later

 

thanks
hmm..well the price of a new muff is $65 and i guess to weld the hole shut is already 20 bucks etc..

 

are you welding or having a shop do it, but i guess if its only a 45$ difference, its not that big of a deal

 

i say weld it shut. If u dont live in a state where water and snow is a problem, then i wouldnt worry about rust

 

jb weld it!

 

 

I would weld a plate to it.mask the area. sand. prime. and paint to avoid oxidation.

 

sorry no idea what a plate would look like sounds like a good idea though

 

How about placing a normal looking muffler, like an ES Oval, instead of having a grapefruit shooter? Just my opinion anyways...

If it's already tearing apart, why would you want a "slanted look". That will negate this thread. It will cause even lower ground clearance and instead of having a hole, it'll completely rip off.

 

i see
so ground clearance is horrid on slanted muffs?

 

well yea...to slant it, the piping before the muff has to bend down towards the ground, but im with whoever said get an es oval or like a kteller muff for like 90$ bucks, you can get the stealth black, or if you still want some show you can get a gloss black or chrome, plus the ground clearance will be 10 times better

Yes.

Most people who are m4d tYt3 JDM, slant their mufflers pointing upwards. You're not going to slant it completely sideways, because that will look plain retarded. Any slanted look is retarded, period.

Get yourself an ES Oval, and call it a day.

 

you can ask almost any1 here, those mufflers look better than anything else for its price, and its straight through and gives a nice deep tone

 

yeahh but not really feeling it

 

if you can get weld for cheap, do it!

 

put some gum over it... just kidding i would jb weld it too

 

weld it.. then sand it out.. then repaint it with a hight temp paint.. flat BLACK... ooOoooOoooo

 

fill the hole with some weld, then weld a small plate over it. I would probably just JB weld it though..I don't give a **** what it looks like as long as it's functional. No matter how you fix it it's still gonna wear through as long as you keep scraping.

 

slanted mufflerrs ground clearence would be better for you... you hit the tip meaning the very end of the muffler... not the pipes underneath. the straight mufflers will hit in a slant b4 the slanted ones will!!! you know what i mean??

 

dude that hole is nothing
just weld that bitch up!

go to whatever muffler shop you've got near you
I can't imagine it costing more than 30bux..
probly more like 15-20..

 

hey, well you should just repalce the muffler man.
