hey all i just bought a dc sports muffler from (and i know it might be bad) pep boys. it has a 2.25" inlet 3.25" outlet tank length of 11.5" tip length of 2" with a total length of 16.25"ill add a pic so you know what your looking at and before i spend the money to get my pipes made and have it added i just put it over my current exhaust to see what it would sound like and i was disappointed in the fact that it really wasn't much louder if not quieter then my stock set. What i wanted to know is if when it is put on and everything will it sound better or is that pretty much the sound I'm stuck with. (just to let you guys know it was only $60 for the muffler and it will cost about $89 to have it installed) The Picture of the pipe can be seen here

 

As you put it in series with the stock muffler, of course the combination will be quieter than either one alone.

As your only muffler, those things sound loud, but awful. It's like a bee in a can or someone farting.

 

Hurray for multiple threads!

Yes, the exhaust will sound loud, raspy, and I am sure after a few months you will get sick of it. Additionally, it will not make your car any faster than it was before.

Please tell me you do not have an automatic transmission.

 

Sorry about the multi post i posted one here and then saw a muffler section so made one theree and just never deleted this one. My car has 2 mufflers on atm as thats how it comes stock i was only gunna take off the first one so it wouldnt be as loud. and hell know its a 5-speed manual i hate automatics

 

Good to hear it is manual. I cannot stand seeing AT cars with fart cannons on them.

You have two mufflers? Pics please. You should have an exhaust manifold (bolted to the motor), followed by a cat converter, down pipe, b pipe (which has a resonator built in), then an axle back, which is connected to the muffler.

I am not the best with 01-05's, so I could possibly be wrong.

 

actually u are correct in this the header leads to an 1.5 inch pipe which leads to my resonator which leads to my cadlic and finally the out pipe. a shop near me that is privetly owned has people come in and get these aftermarket mufflers installed and then after being harrased by the police have him take it off and just let him keep it so i could pick up another dc pipe or a 3A racing pipe from there for next to nothing if this pipe doesnt sound so good. what he said is i will have a slight sound diffrence if i jsut take of the end muffler (next to the cadlic) and have that installed or i can take off the resinator which will up the sound drastically

 

i got the pipe put on and it sounds great

 

I'm sure it does...
