My go at making fart cans...errr...tuner mufflers
Made with all polished aluminum tubing accept for the part in then end where it hooks up the the tailpipe, which is styrene so that it can be hooked up to a 3/32" piece of styrene. Not sure if I'm going to make a bunch to sell...seems too time consuming. I like it. It's smaller than what I've seen from everyone that's selling them, and looks better in my opinion, but opinions are like assholes...everyone has one.

looks good on the ITR. I would suggest putting the muffler on a bit of an angle, looking towards the right side of the car and a bit upwards... it adds to the realism
 to be honest it looks a bit small for my taste. which sounds kinda weird considering big basketball launchers look very rice on ITRs, hehe nicely done though *ps, how much did it cost you to make?* |

The muffler looks cool, the size is ok. I always say: Huge muffler, small cock.

Looks good. The size is perfect. Not too big, not too small. Looks good on the back of the Teg.

Re: My go at making fart cans...errr...tuner mufflers
youngdrifter x: It all depends on how much time you have. I've done full systems from the collector down and they are sometimes hard. But I use all aluminum tubing so....go at it and try it for yourself.

It wasn't hard to do at all. Just some polish, pipe cutting, trimming, and filing with a little bit of superglue tossed in the mix. the muffler's about 1" in length and I used 3 different diameters of tubing to make it...so I'd say it too me about 10 cents to make it. Very cheap. Took me about 15 minutes because I was making sure everything was right.
