I have a universal muffler on custom piping, and it sounds really good. People have actually asked me what I have cause they want the same setup. Mine isnt loud and buzzy, but nice and deep.

*cough* *cough* wat a ricer!! *cough* cough*. Sorry, something was stuck in my throat as i was typing. Lol, na im just playing, my bro has custom exhaust on his del sol, and it sounds exactly like my friends Skunk2 exhaust he has on his del sol, plus its hella cheaper. The only problem is that you wont get the same hp increase (which isn't much either way), I'd estimate you get like 2-4 hp with custom, 5-8 hp with quality brand name exhaust, plz correct if im wrong on the numbers. The reason the hp is different is because with brand name exhaust the pipes are mandrel bents, so the have a round bend to em, where as custom exhaust made in a shop is generally bent with 90 degree angles, or something like that. So basically brand name exhaust gets better air flow, but like i said, if im wrong plz lemme know, dont wanna be handin out false info.

yeah i gots a ractive rear section my car right now...doesnt sound too annoying...dont get me wrong its loud but its a deep grunt...not a high-pitched whine that i hear all the time around here...

i like the way it makes the car sound...and when i get the rest of the piping done, it should sound even better...

i was lookin at a thermal myself, but im afraid what it will sound like if i gut my cat
anyone with experience?
or is my best bet to get a hi flow cat?
are powergains signifigant with a straightpipe?

Hey CanuckCRX, ma man! you're on the right path:frog: straight pipe is the best bang for tha buck! don't be a succa like the utha. tossing cash on pretty mufflers. then you got more doe left for other modz, like chips and camz, and air filters. or maybe even Nitro(If yur hard core enuff!)

Just step into ma private office and I'll teach ya evrithing I know:frog: you'll be just like me

i don't think a good exhaust would net you even 5 hp. I/H/E will get you somewhere between 8-12 hp maybe a little more. and i don't see crush bends vs. mandrel bends making much of a difference on a small 4 banger barely pushing 100 hp at the flywheel.

gs is right, though its better to have a smooth flowing exhuast rather than the crush accordian bends, it prolly wont matter all that much.

im running an Apexi N1 muffler on my car with 2-1/4" mandrel bent piping out my car and it sounds nice and deep and not very loud to attract cops.
