is this powertech muffler good for MX3?
Hi everyone,
just want your opinion before i pay to get this installed. I just got this powertech PT1012 and when i was testfitting it i think it kinndda looks like too big for my mx3. The muffler has twin tip with 4.5" diameter. I know someone here posted that he got the same muffler but i think he got 3.5 tip. So i just need some input if this muffler will look stupid or not on MX3...
thanks in advance

personal preference....hold it up next to your car and see what it looks like.

well it wont do anything performance wise short of losing you low end power due to the backpressure drop. Its sure to be loud and rapsy on a 1.6L 4cyl. Consider urself a honda :p

the size of the tip(s) has nothing to do with the sound.
