Got a new muffler

[']['R][) camry]

Hey guys, I just picked up a new muffler for my car and it looks and sounds great!
I got the OBX HF018

It sounds a lot beefier... I have an I4

I will post pics of it when I get some

Good choice on the tips. That's the best looking one IMHO. :wink:

I agree, you picked the best tip out of the given choices on that page. Post a wav file of the sound if you can :smile:

How much ? C$ ?

Does it have to be custom fitted (i.e. hanger points) ?

I don't know much about aftermarket mufflers, that's all. I want to learn more so I can buy my own next Spring.

Thanks,

Yes it does, but its no big deal. Just goto a muffler shop and have it welded on. They'll know what to do. :grin:

Yea, but MAKE SURE your stock muffler is not side-entry type. If it is then you will have to get a whole cat-back because the aftermarket one just won't bolt-on to your stock piping.

It's weird because some of the Gen3s have side-entry type and some don't. If I remember correctly, Jeff (95 LE) and Henry's Gen3 (93 V6 LE) both have side-entry mufflers but mine's (96 V6 LE) not.

It cost me $230 CAN.. probably a rip but it was an impluse buy, it was in stock and they could install it in 45 min so.....

It cost me $50 to install, I have a 1994 and the pipe came into the muffler from the side... that was no prob, they just cut it and bent and ran another pipe for 2 feet or so.....(hangers were included in the $50 install)

Do they OBX Mufflers sound deeper? Cuz that is what I have heard.

Wouldn't say you got ripped. I think that's about the going price.

Yes the sound is a lot deeper, but not overpowering on the outside of the car... at 1900rpm it is a little loud inside the car when the engine is pulling in 4th gear... but I got used to it, it was so quiet befor that any noise seems strange at first :smile:

My friend has the OBX DTM style on his Tiburon and it is quieter on the inside and louder outside, go figure...
