I recently boughta universal black vibrant type r style muffler for my new gsr swap but before I could get the motor in the car my stock ek exhaust broke off and im stuck with a loud noise. So I figured id just throw the vibrant on the stock piping for the meanwhile til I get the motor put in the ill get all my kteller piping. But when I went to mieneke to get it put on my friend told me it won't fit straight, itd have to be down on an angle which is so ricey looking so I said no. He said any other way and it'll hit my s2 lca's. But he did say it MIGHT work if I redid the rear section but I don't wanna do that id rather just wait for my kteller ss piping. I wanna know if anyone has had this same problem with this particular muffler and if not, can show me and tell me how they did it and post pics of how it looks.

Again its a 96 ek hatch w/ a ctr rear lip and s2 lca's

 

eh? you want us to tell you how we installed a muffler on stock piping and got it to fit? seriously?

 

i was gonna use a tapered peice of alluminum

 

ttt

 

Whats kteller piping? Hey was looking into getting one of those as well. Dont they come in different lenths? So did you get it to work?

 

no not yet, I wanna see someone else who has this specific muffler on a ek first before I order the piping.

 

I have one on my Del Sol not the same chassie but exhaust is about the same and got one on there it came with the car but its on there

 

pics own

 

I will shoot some pictures tommorrow when I am doing my Rear brakes

 

nice. Anyone else with pics or vids of this muffler on ek?

 

do you have pics of this muffler?

 

Stock piping to a large oval (like vibrant, or ES) style muffler will sound very high pitched and raspy, FYI.

 

well im not putting on with my oem piping anymore, seeing that im getting so close to the swap im just gonna wait till i get the kteller piping but i need to know how it will fit with the 2.5" kteller piping.

Like will I have to cut the kteller piping if i just get it for a 96-00 civic hatch 2.5" stainless steel? or should it just bolt right up if i put a flange on the end of the universal vibrant muffler?

And sorry about the wait I lost my cable to hook the camara to my computer so im going to get one tomorrow and I'll throw the pictures one

 

def waiting for the pics of vibrant ok ek/eg.

 

i love that muffler and im thinking about getting it soon in flat black

 

 

I have it on my 96 hatch. I redid all my piping when I had it installed though. You cannot just cut the old muffler off and weld this one on. The piping does need to be shortened up. Why do you want the kteller piping. Just get some cheap mandrel bent.

 

ive got this muffler on my 00 civic and 06 wrx, but both have custom 3" piping. this doesnt help you any, but i just thought id chime in.

nice only part i dont like is that its kinda tilting downwards.... i like to see the whole can on my muffler if not most of it

 

Ya I know I need to hook up A hanger to hold it up better thats all

 

where are you getting cheap mandrel bent piping besides kteller?

 

try a local exhaust shop..

 

usually local shop like meineke or monro muffler use a crush bend system, not mandrel. Atleast in my experiences
