decided to go with custum exhaust.
is it ok to buy mufferls from ebay?? i am not planning to buy
the real exhaust from ebay, but one of those imitations. and
do the 2.25 ro 2.5 custome piping.

 

They sound like ***, get a Magnaflow, nice and quiet.

Yeah, just get a magnaflow. You can even get those on ebay if you like, but they are only like $50 anyway. I got a 2.5" magnaflow muffler and resonator welded on my custom 2.5" mandrel piping and it sounds pretty good. I have a clip if you want to hear it.

 

I had a Spintech muffler installed on my LS for about $80, labor and all. I agree with these two, get the Magnaflow or at least something of that quality - the typical Ebay or generic mufflers generally sound like ***.

 

i want to hear that clip post it up

 

not to hijack, but they sell some full system stainless exhausts on ebay too....They claim 2.5 inch madrel piping? DO those suck as well?

 

i got an obx twin loop muffler off ebay. I think it is real nice even though most people on here will say obx is crap. With a resonator and 2.25" piping it is barely louder than stock and is a bit deeper too. I love how it looks and sounds

This is a custom 2.5" mandrel setup with magnaflow muffler and resonator. This was the day it was installed and it has since gotten a bit quieter and deeper in the low revs.

 

i saw an RS*R oval muffler on ebay the other day, check again it might still be on. I had one before and it sounds great.

 

bump

 

Magnaflow or Dynomax sound alright if you want to go that route.

 

A friend has the twin loop exhaust (mugen replica) and it really is quite impressive.

 

where do u guys get the mufflers??(those people who did the custom piping with muffler). do u know any website where they sell it for cheap??

 

i got mine on ebay a few weeks ago

 

Got my custom piping from http://www.accordinglydone.com/store/catalog/ Good quality stuff. Piping is matched with magnaflow 22" resonator and magnaflow muffler and not too loud at low rpms.

 

Interesting. Just curious since I have the same setup and got it installed a couple days ago... How long would you say it took for it to get quieter?

if you want a good cheap muffler, ck out out http://www.tmcz.com they have 5zigen knockoff axlebacks on there for cheap.. like $135 shipped. then ck out http://www.carmedia1.com and get a midpipe for $99 mandrel bent. great price and decent quality. i know a guy in my area that went that route and it looks and sounds great!!

i have the same axleback on my car but i got a ractive midpipe that i paid $156 for..i wish i wouldve known about http://www.carmedia1.com before i bought my midpipe, but oh well.. ck it all out...good buys if you're on a budget

 

94ls - What diameter is the ractive midpipe - I heard it is not 2.25" and more close to 2"...Is this what you have as well...

OBX also sells the midpipe on ebay for $99....

 

muffler
cat back

 

i have 2.25" piping from the catback

 

k so just for the record what does hites mean? whats the difference between muffler and cat back?

 

i got 2 apexi knock offs from ebay for my 2nd gen rx7 and they sounded great. but i had racing beat downpipe resilencer and y-pipe to the ebay mufflers. i loved them

 

just get a brand name one off ebay. itll still be cheaper than youll probably find anywhere else.

 

f*** ebay muffler

 

go with the ebay muffler and get the custom mandrel bend piping at http://www.kteller.com. i got my 3'' piping from kteller for my turbo car and got the replica n1 off ebay. kteller offers 2.5inch piping kits as well and if you bolt it up with the ebay muffler and its raspy, throw a resonator or high flow cat on there. theres also another big advantage to having a replica muffler over an authentic one other than price. my car is dropped close to the floor and everytime i hit those dips or enter a driveway, i scratch my exhaust/muffler. i'm only scratchin $50 and not $200, i can always get a new muffler
