Just a little muffler question.

If i am adding a new muffler do i need to change my stock piping? and what diameter is the stock piping? Thank you.

No, you don't have to change your stock piping if you dont want to, but youll need some reducers or something to make the muffler fit maybe, depending on the inlet size.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the stock piping is 1 7/8" diameter.

the inlet on the muffler I was considering is like 2". I;m sure they probably have pipes that could make that work. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

No problem.

What kind of muffler is it?
A full catback would be much better
Can you post a pic of the muffler?

Its a Flowmaster 60 Series Delta Flow

Huh. Well if you are doing it for looks, a muffler will work. But if you are doing it for performance, a full catback would be much better. There are TONS of catback options.

Thanks i'll look into that. But do you have any inexpensive suggestions?

[mndude07]

Any good bolt-on catback that I know of is going to cost you at least about 400 bucks.

Dynomax DNX catback will run around 400
RSR Ex-Mag is around 600
Apexi Ws2 is about 550-600
Theres a pretty good Thermal brand catback for our cars, I'm not too sure on that price, i believe around 600

There are alot more options, but it depends on what you want out of your exhaust, like performance, appearance, sound or if you don't care and just want something cheap, or if you want looks, performance, and sound.

If your wanting to get a decent full catback with new, larger piping and new muffler and tip, then your looking in the ballpark of 500(give or take 100) lol

You could also have custom made piping, with the muffler of your choice added on. I've heard that route is cheaper depending on where you get it done at, but I could be wrong.

Thanks alot.

You can make your own custom exhaust if you know how to use a gas welder, if not you could learn in a week and you can by pre cnc bends at gi joes...

I wish i could but I live on campus and i don't have a real work space. Could i just buy all the pieces and take it to a muffler shop or something like that? Would it be cheaper than buying the Cat-back system?

i had my muffler welded on by midas for about 90 bucks. muffler only - it had a 2.25" inlet. it was simple
with any straight through muffler, i'd upgrade the stock resonator, it might already have a rust/hole in it... (mines does! hehe)
2.25"-2.5" is perfect for our motors unless you are turbo or pushing huge N/A power

edit: spell check

This is what i wanted to do I just want to know does it sound good? Is there any change in performance?
