I'm wanting to try to steer away from the "Bumble bee", or "Fart can" canister design.

Would any of you have any suggestions on a muffler, that produces a low tone, not too extremely loud, that has a similar design like the straight flow type, that is reasonable in price?

I've been looking into a few of the "Dynomax", "Hooker", "Flowmaster" etc.

Right now I have a high flow cat, and I'm planning on upgrading the header and E. man. in the future.

I've seen alot of $**t on line that says that you will gain 8-15 hp with a specific type of muffler.....But I believe that's mostly BS unless you upgrade the exhaust system.


Any ideas fellas?

 

A lot of guys on here like myself are running Magnaflow mufflers. I love the sound of mine, there are a crapload of different styles and sizes, plus they come with a life time waranty

 

I have the Greddy Evo2 cat-back system and I couldn't be happier with the way it sounds, personally. It has a nice, smooth, deep tone with no rasp, but I don't know if it's the kind of look you're going for. Some would consider it kind of a fart-can design, but not I. Pricey though. Here's a few pics in case you don't know what it looks like:


Next to the old fart-can:

 

I'm running this one:

Paint the body flat black and it looks very stock, but is all 2 1/4"

 

How does that magna flow sound? Any noticeable gain?

Also what series?

The "Greedy" is sweet, but a little to pricey.

 

"Scrim12"....I want those rims. Sweeeeet.

 

i like the vibrant streetpower muffler

 

i like the vibrant tpv.. deep tone and no rasp

If you think the Greddy is expensive, then you'd **** if you saw the price tag on the rims.

 

For 2 Benji's I guess so guys. lol.

But I'm sure, that you get what you pay for.

 

Look into a twinloop style as well. I have a magnaflow "fart can" style on my other prelude its not to bad, but i prefer the sound of the twinloop over it.

 

lol. "Scrim12".....I don't have a problem paying a somewhat high/decent price for a set of rims/tires.

I just don't see paying $200 plus for a specific sound in a muffler. Now if I where to gain 10 to 15 hp......That would be another thing.

To each his own, I guess.

I love my car.....But I don't love her that much. lol.

 

Thanks M2B4.....Is the twin loop a pain in the *** trying to get the clearance?

 

clearance was a bit tricky at first but nothing to bad. just took them bending a few different bends then stock to make it work. Mine sits just flush with the rear bumper and it doesn't hang down to low only scraped it once i believe in about 9 months.

+1 I'm running the same exact thing on the same car and love it. Our cars look just alike except for the rims.

 

I have a Magnaflow on my and i have a nice low tone and sounds very quiet

i love it

 

x3 Evo2 and lovin it. Its nice and deep and no rasp whatsoever. Its pretty big but the fitment on Preludes are perfect



From far away



And a vid

 

the world sports 2 sounds good too

 

Smoooth, I like.....How does it sound, say around 5k?

 

like VROOM!!!!

It gets loud but not obnoxiously loud. But I love the deep-tone to it.

In higher rpm's it still doesnt rasp or give any fart can type of sounds and it sounds amazzing when vtec kicks on yO

 

I got my muffler from powerflow, and had twin 3.5" tail pipes fitted. So it looks like original style just bigger. Sound wise, i love it, it has a low and deep note and no rasp and was very reasonable price wise. I had the muffler painted black when it was fitted and it looks neat. And it is alot less restrictive compared to the oem one. So i would be happy to recommend powerflow to anyone cause their product has been great for me. Goodluck finding something that will suit you

 

I wouldn't be able to tell you the exact gain with the Greddy, but i DID notice a bit of power difference. I only have the H23 in that lude right now, but i have beaten 5th gens with it and sounded great doing it.

 

i got a trust exhaust and im loving it

 

greddy evo II

 

you could go with a apexi world sports.(ws2) it has a pretty nice tone to it and doesn't sound like a coffee can on the back lol.
