I'm ditching my current setup 2.25" Dc sports midpipe and Greddy evo rearsection combo in search of a good 3" setup. I was going to order the piping from http://www.kteller.com , but I'm not sure what muffler to go with. What are your suggestions and does anybody have any sound clips?

 

Magnaflow 3" is the way to go
I don't have soundclips but I can tell you it is very deep and I get compliments on the sound all the time (from people that appreciate turbocharged cars that is)

 

the apex n1 has always been proven for good flow/power.

would look alright on your car.

might be kinda loud if you mind that,
and a bit on the played out side of things.

then theres all sorts of magnaflow mufflers out there.

PERSONALLY i'd just get some cheap universal muffler,
magnaflow does make those too though, which cant hurt.

personally I find alot of the magnaflows TOO lowkey, visually.

if your running a high power turbo car, you can get away with a big shiny muffler.

 

I'd like something with a smaller tip than my Evo...shouldn't be too hard to find. That thing is huge!!!

 

my magnaflow is 3" in and 3" out...

 

Got any pics of the exhaust...like a shot of the car from the rear?

Tahts what I run.
p/n = 14828 RACE

Sounds dope!

 

I ordered my piping from Kteller, I also got the 3" n1 from him too, It sounds great and looks awesome. I emailed him pics of the finshed product, maybe you can ask him to email you the pics or I could ask him to post them here.

3" in 3" out magnaflow oval style. 3" from downpipe back.
deep tone (love it). a lil loud for me b/c i have no interior
(rear seats, panels, carpet, sound deadening tar). i'll try to
record it from the outside, and post it up here....

I think the magnaflow looks pretty dope. The N1 looks like any generic ricer pick-a-muffler from pepboys.

I love mine. Sounds awesome, fits nicely, screams at vtec, polished, nice tip, 3" in/out, somewhat inexpensive.

But what about normal driven. Is it loud then when drive normal or do you have to turn your sterio up to like 50 just to hear it?

 

I dont think its loud. I dont have interior (well, carpet but no panels)....no factory sound deadening either.
Fawkin screams when vtec hits though, I love it.

 

i have noticed a lot of 3" exhaust turbo cars run an HKS carbon-ti or something similar in their lineup. i hear these mufflers are very quiet and also sound good. any hks owners care to comment?

 

my magnoflow on my n/a setup use to be loud as ***!! I hated it...I guess its a whole different story with turbo applications....i'm really interested it hearing what it will sound like considering I will have to make the same decision in a month or two...post that ****..

 

3" magnaflow oval

Here's short a clip of one on my 2000 SiR (same as US Si).

here's my magnaflow with tip. this one is a 2.5" but i have the 3" one on the car now... looks the same. on boost it sounded bad ***. clean, deep, but still nice.

 

Go to a muffler shop and just buy a $25-30 muffler.....i should have done that instead of spent $75 on a magnaflow. waste of money IMO. Kteller's exhausts look amazing though. really easy to figure out how to weld

 

forget the muffler just run it like mine
custom 3' exhaust with 3' flex and 2 resonators...thanx to Complete Engineering







sorry for the big pix...can someone explain to me how to resize them

I have been doing a lil reserching and some people say put one like this halfway back. And it should be very quiet. Is this one that you would use also?

hot setup curious

 

what other 3 inch in and out laternatives are there?

magnaflow's website has some great video clips of various exhausts on other cars. (i like the subaru's)

also, ar eresonators really restrictive? or is it just something not to worry about

 

curiousgpnoy...ur setup looks sweet....how lond is that ****?? with no muffler and two resonators!!!!???

 

its really not as loud as i expected...i guess its either you can be quiet and lose hp or deal with it and enjoy .... to full 3'
