Well im looking into having my local muffler shop do a custom exhaust on my car, im going to purchase a header and a muffler but i cant decide what to get. What is a good muffler that will give me good sound, nothing like a weedwacker. Also should i go with 2.25" pipingfor my d15b?

 

2 1/4 is fine that's what every body basically runs. They go bigger when you turbo only. My Si comes with 2inch stock pipping I didn't do custom pipping on mine. I wasn't going to pay all that cash for an extra 1/4. I like Magnaflow the Oval ones more packing vs round ones

 

how loud is magnaflow cuz im actually looking to go semi loud cuz right now i have a flowmaster 60 series on and it has a low quiet sound that is nice but i wish it was louder, but i see what u mean about the piping, i just wanna do the 2 and a quarter with a ceramic header and not some ****ty muffler but something that will make a nice loud tone but nothing ricey

 

two Mangaflow universal mufflers from ebay, like $70 each, use one for a resonator and the other for a muffler. Get 2.25" piping and have it custom bent and welded by a shop. I got my piping and labor for like $180 (plus the cost of the test pipe, res, and muffler).

 

what do you mean use one for a resonator? and i wanna do that same custom job at my muffler shop cuz it will be that cheap too, IS this the setup you have? with the magna flow?

 

use someting like THIS but put one right in the exhaust pipin for a resonator, and then put one on the end as a muffler.

EDIT: or find a Netami twin loop muffler and just use the Magnaflow as the resonator. Thatd sound aweosme

 

the resonator just makes it quieter right? how loud will it be cuz i want it pretty loud lol

 

you might wnat it loud now, but it gets annoying really quick. You're seriously going to want a resonator, for real. Its really really loud without one.

 

your right , i just didnt think it would be that loud without a resonator lol bt i like that plan ill prolly end up doing that. i like all the magnaflow i hear and my exhaust is pretty damn quiet and i just want a custom catback hat is noticable sound but no rice. thanks for the help btw

 

i have clips on youtube on my ehxaust before and after installing my 22" magnaflow res, and yeah it got louder after a month or so, but it still sounds really good.....it'll still be loud if you really hammer on it but it'll sound better.
