its your money, but what you want.

all mufflers eventually start to deteriorate and get louder. that's how mufflers work.

we just said tanabes have excellent sound deadening material in their canisters that make them sound a little bit better.

if you want LOUD, almost any catback on the market would fit that bill...

 

so say the muffler started to suck.......if just get a new one welded on it would b good as new?? or is some of the sound material in the pipes 2?

 

nope. it's all in the muffler. new muffler = new sound... for a while. $30-50 bucks for an ebay muffler every time adds up though...

 

well i wasnt thinking of replacin it with another ebay muffler each time, i was thinkin more along the lines of a netami twin loop or magnaflow after the sh!tty one dies lol

 

i want a twin loop too, but the netami mufflers have a 2" inlet diameter. that's kinda small.

the twin loop i want is *SNL but nobody seems to have any left in the U.S.

HyTech and Mugen also makes top notch twin-loops but you have to pay serious money for theirs.

OBX also has a twin loop, which some people swear by. Others say OBX makes crap parts.

I've read at other forums that OBX makes great exhaust parts, so don't just write them. You can decide for yourself.

as for me, i'm holding out for an *SNL... or an XTUNE!11 lol.

 

idk...call me crazy but i cant bring myself to buy a 400$ exhaust..........my conscious(sp?) wont allow it......however it also forbids me to keep this 1" rust tube attatched to the car....so im in quite the dilemma lol

 

$160 shipped for an xTune all stainless meowback exhaust shipped to your door dood...

(complete with a 3-year warranty, i might add)

 

lol i kno i was frigin psyched wen u had that link...however i have a 97 dx.....one of the only models they dont have 1 for on that sitelol

 

damm. youre right. they only have it for the hatchback models. that sucks. lol.

you could also consider tsudo exhausts. some doods say their crap because their sold on ebay, but i've read some personal reviews on other sites and the owners seem to love them.

the consensus is that they're a lot of value for the money you pay. I was actually thinking of getting their new Type X model, which is a Greddy EVO 2 knockoff.

it's HUGE, but its only $250.

their original stinger is cheaper but some say their sound is kinda high-pitched, which is why i was considering the type x until i came across the xTune and *SNL.

 

hmmm yea there arent to many options out there for my automobile lol and i have pm'ed a couple of ppl on this site that have the n1 style catbacks from ebay and they said it was a great buy and would buy another 1 if need be, but some ppl have different opinion on sound and quality than others, im not sure where i rank in that spectrum lol
