Where do i find stainless steel cross-ways muffler??

91civicDXdude · #1 10-22-2002, 12:29 PM

I've seen pics of axle back mufflers for our cars and they have the same routing as the stock ones. the muffler sits crossways and then there is a 90degree angled pipe going back to a tip. where can i find one of these?

I just got a shop here in town to run 2.5" catback piping, eliminate the resonator, and weld all new mounts for 160 bucks and i put this Arospeed stainless muffler on there. it sticks out the back like 5 inches

so i want something that will actually fit

..so you're looking for a complete axle back section? or just the muffler? I'm assuming axle back b/c pretty much any muffler can be put sideways and have the 90 deg pipes welded to it...there's alot of companies out there...like tenzo, obx, etc that sell just axle backs...take a look online..they're out there..

axle back. i saw some stainless axle back exhaust with stainless piping, stainless muffer in teh stock position, and then stainless pipe out to a tip. it looked pretty bad ass. I was going to have the dude at the muffler shop put a single inlet dual outlet stock position muffler but i only have one cutout in my bumper. dual outlets is pimpin

I thought about cutting another hole, but the hole in the drivers side is inset and the other hole would look stupid. anyways, i just oredred me a shorter stainless muffler with a silencer that will fit.

:flash"
I'm bidding on a Thermal rear section right now on E-bay--you want it go for it. You can buy just the rear section and have the flanges matched at a muffler shop.
You have about 3 hours to grab it, btw:flash:

You can do like what i did and just cut the bumper out.

That actually looks really good!

it does look really good, are the edges smooth, or are they all jagged and have plastic splinters, you know what i mean? it looks smooth.

Yea, its kinda like having custom mudflaps..... i really like this idea, i wanna see more pics, close up, and in some better lighting!

I thought about doing that but i thought it might look kind of jaggedy as well. If only i could have a passenger side cutout only, but i dont want to pay a body shop to plasti-weld or whatever they do to fix plastic to cover up the drivers side cutout. that would eliminate the 90 degree bends in teh exhaust and provide a little more flow...

It's really smooth and it looks stock, i just took a green scrub pad and went around the edge and it made it smooth. All i did was cut it out and that allowed me to fit the muffler straight out and i just painted the tow hook and other things that the piece was hiding flat black and you can't even see them.
