Using gen5 muffler on gen3

[geoff5093]

Has anyone done this before? I dont absolutely love my stock V6 muffler, im sure pretty much everyone feels the same. I had cheap auto zone tips, but that made it look worse.

Im sure the gen5 muffler could be fitted on a gen3, but is it a "bolt on" replacement, or would it require cutting and welding to get it to fit?

i dont know for sure, but if the inlet isnt 2" like it comes on the Gen3 camry, there would probably be a fitted piece you need to get ...

and welding would also probably be necessary - either way, its no big deal ... any shop could do that and it wouldnt be expensive

^ the stock gen3 v6 piping is 2.25" actually whereas the 4banger piping is 2"


and not sure what the gen 6 piping is, but in the end it doesn't matter anyway. the axle-back will most likely not bolt on anyway and welding will be necessary


any muffler can fit on any car if welded on

Nothing is wrong with my muffler, I just dont like the small diameter of each pipe (isnt it just a bit over an inch?)

I've seen the V6 models (mainly the Gen5), and they have a much wider tip, seems like at least 2.5".

well the 2"/2.25" inlet allows you to put a ton of different universal mufflers on there

if you want a more sporty one, MagnaFlow makes a ton with 2.25" inlets

Im not really looking for a sportier one, and I deffinetly dont want one that makes me sound like a ricer, I would like a stockish looking muffler, but that has a larger single outlet pipe.

[Venom_5]

they make performance mufflers that have stock-sized outlets ... and they dont sound like rice either

I don't think that the outlet pipe is actually any bigger....but I'm not sure...I never took a really good look at my mom's muffler tips...lol.

But it's still just a tip over the piping


I actually really liked how the stock gen3 v6 dual tip muffler looked...that's why I stuck with a dual round tip aftermarket muffler when I got rid of mine

I like the dual tips, but the two pipes coming out of the muffler are eabout the size of those found on early 90' civics. I'd rather have a large single one then a thin dual one.

i would definitely get an aftermarket before yanking one off a gen5 ... u should check out your options

they have everything from loud to silent and small to big outlets
