Default what muffler with your ASR/sway bar, need suggestions...

I have a problem. I need a muffler that has a canister that is not longer than 15". I have an EG hatch, and it seems that all the mufflers I have tried have been too long, and they interfere with me installing my sway bar/ASR brace. I am tired of the trial and error way, and was wondering what some of you guys had.

I have tried an OEM RSX-S muffler, and it is too big, same with an OEM ITR, and same with the OBX twin-loop, although I probably could have made that one work, but anyway.

Any suggestions on a aftermarket muffler that isnt too long? I was looking at the WS2, but i dont know how long it is. (if you havent notices, i am looking for a quiet muffler, and i like the sleeper look, ie no FART CANS)

I doubt it would be ideal for your setup but, there's always the "Generic muffler shop" single muffler. I guaranee it would fit, this came on my EG stock and it immediatley got cut off.





I understand that some people have diffrent tastes, I don't run a muffler and it doesn't bother me. I rather like the sound, deep and not raspy and loud at 5k + the muffler in the pics was kinda weird sounding, very high pitched at redline but probably because I don't run resonators either.

The Spoon Sports "Street Type" axle back fits perfectly with your set up.

make sure your sway bar isnt flipped around the wrong way or you will have interference. What sway bar are you running? My buddy had same prob. on his EK!!!

that brace shouldn't interfere with the exhaust unless the sway is upside down, it's the same shape as the stock subframe

my problem is the can of the mufflers that i have tried are so long, that they go all the way to the subframe of the car, leaving no room for the sway bar and brace. BTW, what muffler is that???
