searched and could not find anything. Am running a 2.5" straight through to a es tuning muffler notice how much quieter my buddies car is running the same setup, my question is do these mufflers blow out and getting louder over time?thanks in advance for any info.

 

bump

 

es tunning are great i dont think they have made them them in a while never heard of them blowing out

 

I think every muffler "blows out" eventually. I know my Spoon N1 did, hell even a good friend of mine blew his oem muffler out. Granted it was a stock 92-5 Civic muffler with an SiR2 swap but still...that thing got raspy.

 

thanks for the info, time for a new muffler my car is loud as hell

 

just because your mufflers is getting loud doesn't really mean it going to blow out ,most likely you're just hear it star falling apart in the inside ,little by little , my old ws2 did that ,

 

 

Pretty sure thats the same thing

 

And I've used burns on a turbo nsx, those blow out all the time good thing you can. Replace those pretty easy, and good as new LOL

 

Ive ran a few Es' ovals on a... 1.5L 1.6L 1.8L .... all sound GREAT to me:-) but i like my cars LOUD

January im making another one... i still have a brand new ES oval in the box.. i was unaware that they stopped making them :-(

 

i like my cars as quiet as possble with out sacrificing to much power-

 

Cut the muffler open and repack them with motorcycle muffler repacking kits.. reweld and sound like it was new maybe even quieter ( as some mufflers used crap packing to begin with)

I used this link back in 08 and the muffler still sounds good

I would add a few resonators in that case.... or a Renault spun catalytic Conveter flow's great, with pretty much no power loss

 

Had one for 3 years, still sounds the same

 

thanks am going to try this, any idea whats a good brand of packing? thanks, great info..






my muffler is a little over 5yrs old

 

I really like my EsTuning muffler.

And I agree with the above statements, eventually the material inside will break down over time. Just like a catalytic converter does.

 

had an ES tuning before and it was stupid loud, but maybe thats just me. switched to a 2012 civic si muffler recently and im super happy with the results (running 2.5" with 18" resonator)

 

i had a 2.5in exhaust straight to a gsr muffler in my current setup and the power dropped from 196whp to 155whp, put a es tuning muffler back on and the power jumped back up to 196whp...
