Good Mufflers

[MrR0b0t0]

Im planning on getting an exhaust made, so I have 2 questions. I plan on starting with a quality muffler, in which I would ask yalls for your opinion on whats good. Second, what size piping could I pull off without losing much power or torque? I heard there was a 2.36 or something somewhere, and just thought maybe that could work here with the Eco.

I would go with a Magnaflow NON-fart can muffler like Cody's for more of a "show", it's got good performance and looks good but it's kinda pricey, or you could go with a Dynomax super turbo muffler for relatively cheap and good performance as well, you'll have to throw a muffler tip on it tho if you want it to look pretty.

Only $92?!? damm I thought they were supposed to be alot more expensive than that, but now with that said Ill definatly check that out tommarow and see how much it would cost to get an exhaust made.

[my99cavy]

yeah for just mufflers its more on the cheaper side, it gets expensive when you start getting all the pipes bent and what not.

[MrR0b0t0]

Hmm more than $500?

for example http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...1&cat=Cavalier

a single setup from magnaflow is almost $800. but thats from them. im sure it will be cheaper from a local company. my exhaust was $475 for dual exhaust with 2 ractive mufflers.

[MrR0b0t0]

Yeah i was considering getting just the pre-mde magna flow since i found it for around 550, but thought it would be cheaper just to get one made witha magnaflow muffler. Oh yeah, any recomendations on resonator size?

[my99cavy]

well if you found one for $550 then i would prob just go with that. umm about the resonator thats a good question. i didnt have one put on when i got my exhaust.

[notaricajustfasta]

i would say for a resonator go maybe an inch or two bigger than the piping. it will give you better flow and a nice sound im sure. you always could get high flow cat or just straight pipes depending if its legal or not

[my99cavy]

if you want to go the high flow cat route....

kamakazi- 3'' cat http://www.andysautosport.com/produc...29&_v=vmd00063

magnaflow- bunch of different ones http://www.andysautosport.com/produc...ow?_v=vmd00063


EDIT: another one from RKSport http://www.modified-motorsports.com/...oducts_id=1135

Well if were throwing pricing out there, this is what I have done so far for you guys to get an idea...

2- Maganflow mufflers - $198.90 ( after tax from Cardomain.com since they are NY based and i live in the same state.)
1- Magnaflow Hi-flo Cat- $78.20( Summit racing)
1- Pacesetter Armor Coated 4-1 Header- $220.00 ( Turbotech racing GP on JBO)
RDFABS custom exhaust install with T-304 Stainless steel 2.5" tubing primary and 2" y- after trailing arm for duals- $250 ( my cost) normal install exhaust price is $400.
NGK Primary and secondary O2 sensors $140 ( after my discount at my job at advance auto parts)

$887.10

This is for brand new everything from header back. Normal Cole mufflers, Midas, and other shops don't deal with Stainless steel tubing. Just giving you guys a heads up on that one. But i have parting this setup together for over a year now.

[MrR0b0t0]

Haha ok, so lets see. Imma try that pricing thing.

1 magnaflow muffler - $100
1 magnaflow hi flo cat - $80
1 random guess at install costs - $400

Which is 580, and im guessing i need those o2 sensors which add another 140, makin it 720. imma get a quote on tuesday from a local muffler shop that my friend had make his 60-somthin camaros exhaust. Soo i kno they use SS, and im guessing that 400 install charge covers the resonator and whatnot also? Hopefully it does and god doesnt hate me.
