Has anyone evr bought, or had any experience with any of the stainless mufflers that various people sell on ebay?
Ill prolly be in need of a new muffler, maybe b4 the winter, and I'm curious about these.
What I don't want is a fart can, like many many civics on the GTA roads (yall know what I mean)

So are these fart cans or what? Do they sound decent? Or Ricey?

I dont want my exhaust to be loud, a bit louder, fine, but not so loud i make babies cry

anyway, like these............

Never heard of those brands. If you want something that sounds decent you should probably stick to mainstream brands. If you want a deep sound from your 4-cylinder there are only a few that can help you. The 3D Racing (I know, not the hottest brand) DTM-style muffler will give you a pretty deep sound, along with some of the 5-Zigen mufflers. You may consider getting a whole exhuast (cat-back) with a small but effective resonator.

Sadly not much is going to give you a nice sound in a 4cyl.

But there is no real difference between eBau ones and main streem brand. They are all basically a resonator. The flow of a straight pipe with some added vibrations for sound.

The larger you go, the less of a ricey sound you will have. Kinda the sad truth. You have to look more ricey, to sound less ricey

Thing Is, I'd like to stick with a near stock sound, maybe a little deeper, What if I were to go with a stock replacement from another car that would require a larger muffler????

 

[maggotdecay]

Why not get a stock like aftermarket muffler instead of going for a fart can looking muffler. Like a nice flowmaster and then for looks, add a nice chrome tip. It'll add a deeper sound, the tip will look nice, it will flow a tad better.

 

[TdotTercel]

thats why i was asking about the ones on ebay, cause i know nothing about them.

I guess i should by now, if you have to ask if its shit, guess what? its shit. :lol:


thnx guys

 

[bowlofturtle]

i'm on the same boat as you. I'm in need of an exhast soon enough. I want something more on the quiet side but something that you can notice slightly. if the civic ass cannons are a 10 on a scale and the stock ones are a 1. i'm looking for a 2-3 on the scale. something nice. Maybe some of the magnaflow stuff.

my friend has the hks and it sound nice.......he has it setup some heard no sure ....2.5 or 3 inch pipe to the hsk muffller and 3 3inch pipe cromed........looks nice and sound ever bettersure if my buddys car sound ricy but it sound mean and loud more for track not everyday driving

Dont go with flowmasters on a 4cyl.

i had one for about 6 months, bugged the hell outta me.

they are really loud inside and outside the car, and the sound like crap.

i had a series 40 which isnt "designed" for a 4cly but the 60 series i think is, but the sound isnt any better, and its not avaiable with the right inlet for a camry.

I've got a Hooker Aerochamber on my car. It's loud. Really, really loud. But that said, it doesn't sound too bad. I'm probably going to toss a cherry bomb as a resonator before it to tone it down a little.

But if you want a nice sound without too much noise, I'd grab a resonator, and an OEM ITR muffler.

 

[Flashmn]

Both of those mufflers are so called fartcans, because they are straight through design.

 

[CamNub]

The first pic is a fart can, isn't it. Those look ricey and they have ricey sounds in my opinion.

My friend has a mazda speed muffler which is oval shaped. It's nice. Its a quiet deep noise which imho sounds very good. Its stock on the Mazda Speed Proteges so it is very good. I am not sure those though, being im not too much of a fan of fart cans and that stuff. But i do think someday i will get one which is steel tipped because the stock ones look nasty. :thumbdown

 

[Ruffrydasean]

I have the 3.0 V6.. which one of the soundbytes would probably sound the closest to what I'd end up with?

Magnaflows

 

[Aaagogo]

magnaflows does not have any for my baby

A man after my own heart :loove:

Flowmaster is the way to go. Get an Orignal 40 or a Delta 40. They will both weld on fine, and look nice with some stainless tips. Either that or get some Flowmaster Vette mufflers. Those sound good on any car

 

[epborden]

Yeah man, I bought a muffler like one of those from eBay.

Absolutely no problems, welded on fine, working on the car since like January. Sounds good too !

Also wanted to add, I have a resonator (oem) as well. Silencer/No silencer sounds the same either way. No real big sound, so they are right about a 4 cylinder.

So basically I have the can look, straight through. No ricey sounds.. bleh
