ok aftermarket mufflers always have the hole and then a frame around it while other mufflers im guessing that come with piping is just one straight through hole but arent they all welded on the same way [in seperate pieces?]

 

What?

 

What's there not to know about the muff? U put your peepee in it and call it a day.

On a serious note, wtf are you talking about?

 

ok i guess i was being vague
here, a type of muffler you buy

VS.


notice how you can "see the hole" in the first pic while the second is just one big pipe?


so whats the difference..can i get the muffler in the second pic without having to upgrade to cat back

 

umm, thats called a silencer? dur dur

haha

a silencer on a muffler will lower the exhaust tone a good bit but can sound raspy too

most catback comes with one and they are removeable

 

no even with the silencer removed, it still looks like the first pic

 

The first pic has a weird asz silencer... If you remove it completely it should look like the 2nd pic muffler... but what technical advice are you seeking is my question?

 

nono, see i bought a muffler and i took out the silencer and it sitl has a hole with an outer layering over like in the first pic. its an 'universal muffler'

 

and the inner hole is how big? It should be about the same size as the inlet hole in the back of the muffler....

for example if the inlet is 2.5in but the tip is 4in, it will probally be 2.5in straight thru the muffler and then the tip will be 4in...

you know what i mean?

 

did you take off the whole silencer or just the top part of it? in other word did you take off the bolt connected to the exhaust tip or did you remove the bolt holding the silencer together?

 

k heres a shot of mine

see how its not straightthrough even with the silencer off

yeah theres nothing else to take off i dont think

another shot..sorry for size


those arent holes..they were from the silencer..i guess it stained the steel

 

Thats what i was talking about above... that hole should still be the same size as the mufller inlet hole on the other side...

it should be straight thru...

 

Dude! That's the way they are! They aren't true straight pipes, there's silencer material in there, if you looked closely inside the second pic, you'd see the same crap, but it's all black from the exhaust.

does it really look the same as mine? im sure there s a sig difference

 

Thats the design... Im pretty sure the red one has it too its probally just black from the exahust smoke or a different design...

Buy another muffler or paint it black...

 

very well..thank you..
so about the painting, would it be bad if i spray painted the inside and that corner that i dont like? would this cause any problems with heat etc. wil just any old black spray do?

 

Hi temp paint... theres 500 and 1200 degree I would go for 1200 degree...

 

alrite,
thanks for all your help

 

an idea, BUY WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR INSTEAD OF JUST BUYING ONE KNOWING YOU DONT LIKE IT AND GONNA HAVE TO CONFUSE EVERYONE ASKING HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOU SHOULDA THOUGHT ABOUT B4HAND!!!
