On my 98 HX I am pretty sure the stock exhaust size is 1.5"? I am looking for a muffler where I could just chop off the old stock muffler and clamp the new one in. Everything out there seams way to big for what I want, I am looking for a max outlet of 2.5" I would more prefer 2.25" but that seams impossible. So any help here on where I should look, cause I have tried everywhere I know and came up empty.

Thankyou

no matter where you look its going to be to big..when you go get it installed, the guys weld on a bigger piece of pipe to your stock pipe then install the muffler to that..just buy the muffler you want, they will be albe to install it

 

yeah they are just gonna gradualy put bigger piping on your old piping until everything fits up to the muffler

 

hahaha riceburner i LOOOVE the sig

i wouldnt do just a muffler if i was you...it will make your car sound like *** and you will get made fun of.

 

I was looking for a small sized muffler so it wouldnt sound like ***. I am a domestic guy with a 5.0 Mustang that has shortie headers, flow tubes for cats, and two dynomax mufflers. I am looking not to get my Civic loud, but to get alittle more volume then stock, so I can atleast hear the engine alittle from the inside of the car. The research I done makes it seam like one of those recirculateing (two loop) mufflers would fit the bill for me. The only problem is the one I found is for a hatch, but like you guys said the exhaust shop can make it fit. So oh well guess I gotta do some more reading, feel free to add some more info here to give me some more stuff to think about.

hmm well if you're looking at a twin loop then you should get a catback made for you anyway. a little performance plus near stock sound since you have the double loop.

 

I think this twinloop is a catback http://www.actiontrucks.com/pdf/performance5.pdf , its on page seven part #MTP330. Is there a big difference between the catback for a hatch and one for a two door?
