Product: Ebay Muffler
Distributor: Ebay (speedneedz)
Vehicle: 1993 SI hatchback
Cost: 30.95 shipped
Installation: semi-a-task because i did it myself... **** muffler shops ha. But i took the stock one out from the axle back, and then hack sawed the old pipe off right next to the muffler, and used adapters and U-clamps to attach the new muffler there. I then got a hangar from murrays and hung it like that, the hangar is behind the muffler so you can't see it, it's nice.
Installation Time: Hard to say as i did it over a period of two days it kind of started out simple and then evolved into what it is now, but all together you could install your own muffler with the following in less than two hours:
-1 adapter
-two u clamps
-a little tinfoil
-exhaust bolt set(as both my bolts snapped right ****ing off)
-Hangar
All together it was like 12-13 bucks maybe Its not that i really wanted to save the money from having a shop do it i just wanted to see if i could do it myself, because anyone can drive it to a shop and hand the guy 30 bucks or whatever... so it was more about self pride than money.
Review:I like it except there's slightly too much interior noise because i have a hatchback... soonce i soundproof the gate and bottom of my trunk i'll probably enjoy it a lot more, it's just really weird kind of to hear your car making that noiseall of a sudden because you're so used to hearing nothing. I was one of the people that always asked how much difference ebay versus name brand could really make... but i mean my friend got a muffler for 80 bucks that looks/sounds identical to mine, so to me it seems like bottom line, if there's a silencer in it it's going to sound pretty similar. The only difference in sound to me seems like the more area in the muffler there is the quieter it would be for street driving. For the price you can't beat it...
