Building a new exhaust
So my muffler has completely rusted from the inside out and the rest of my exhaust isnt looking the best.... I also am running a ze and wanted to upgrade for a while now I will be getting the probe headers and will be running a 2.5 inch pipe. I have a magnaflow hiflo cat but was wondering if I put a cherry bomb right behind it then run the piping to the back with a apexi n1 muffler would it still be really loud... Im trying to go for the quiet when driving but if I stomp on it it screams kinda sound.
Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks -Steve

Re: Building a new exhaust
The cherry bomb and the N1 are both straight-through mufflers. It will be loud. If you want to quiet it down unless you're stepping on it you'd need a 3-chamber muffler such as a Flowmaster Delta 40 or a magnaflow, as well as a straight-through cat/resonator to calm down the raspy/tinny tones.

Re: Building a new exhaust
My car had 2.25" with a high-flow cat, a really long resonator, and MagnaFlow muffler with a resonating tip, and it sounded great. It was a little louder than a stock 2.5L, but not luder than a stock V8.

Re: Building a new exhaust
The Flowmaster 60 series delta flow is the one that I meant, not the 40 series delta flow. The 60 is the one that I and I believe SuperK have, it's engineered for sport compact cars.
Check out the Flowmaster website. The muffler is HIGHLY recommended.

Re: Building a new exhaust
I get alot of comments on my exhaust tone with a ss autochrome headers, magnaflow high flow cat, 2.5in piping all the way back to a megan GT 4.5in tip muffler... It's not too loud IMO I think it was 85 dB at the track and has the best tone I have ever heard on an mx-3.

Re: Building a new exhaust
A long resonator is the easiest way to calm down the volume and give it a nice rounded tone.

Re: Building a new exhaust
nooooo that was the race car and it has HORRIBLE sounding exhaust - it is over 92 dB and doesn't sound good at all IMO... that's why I'll be changing everything to what the DD has (I have all the parts now)...93vtecklr wrote:Moon, soundclip?

hmmm I'll have to see if I can get some kind of sound clip... I don't really have anything good to record it with
