Exhaust Question !? Flowmaster?

[snowmansdsm09]

97' Eclipse Turbo 2.0

3'' piping from Turbo - w/ NO cat and thermal exhaust & racing downpipe

I want the car to sound as close to 350z/G35

my question is - - -

Would a Flowmaster 50 Series sound pretty quiet on my car?
if not... what would?

 

[alex99gst]

i wouldnt think anything with full 3" piping is going to be too quiet, atleast under WOT

 

[snowmansdsm09]

well the 50 series flowmaster is supposed to be the most mellow of them i believe...

 

[snowmansdsm09]

anyone have any insight on this?

A flowmaster on a turbo car really isn't that great of an idea. You want something that's straight through, but flowmasters have baffles in them. Great for an NA car where they need a balance between high flow and backpressure for low end torque. The turbo creates the backpressure needed for the low end torque, so a flowmaster is just a restriction where it's not needed.

I wouldn't put an American built exhaust system on an import such as ours because they aren't really made for us.Now they say they are, but you aren't going to get the nice deep tone your looking from a flowmaster as you would say apex'i, hks, rnr, etc, etc....just my 2 cents....I have had a flowmaster on a prelude and it was the loudest, god-awfulest sound ever....

That is a totally different car and setup.

Turbo cars reduce exhaust sound a lot compared to a NA car.

haha ok... well i wont be gettin a flowmaster then !

i want just the muffler like a flowmaster so i can get 2 stock looking tips welded on there

what about those magnaflows that have the dual tips on there?
arent they straight thru?

 

[I-luv-em-all]

Get a flowmaster or magnaflow they are fine.

Just because they sounded like crap on a honda prelude, doesn't mean they sound that way on everycar.

I know a few people with the 3" magnaflow, dynomax and flowmaster and they all sound good.

what about that one? i think its straight thru...
i dont want a flowmaster because i forgot it would add backpressure

 

[snowmansdsm09]

If i didnt have a muffler at all and just had straight pipe with two tips on there ?
how would that sound? probably loud as hell.
my friend said it would be quiet

and what about those?

 

[tsi_daggie]

i dont know about a 3 inch. but i have the stock 2 inch piping, no muffler and a gutted cat..... and to be honest it just sounds like shit all around.

 

[snowmansdsm09]

Well then atleast i know what NOT to do! thanks

so far we have ruled out - Flowmaster & no muffler

I have a dynomax muffler on my 1995 dodge avenger, which has the 420a motor. It sounds real deep and nice and isn't too loud at all, only when i'm at WOT. I love it. BUT, it might not sound the same on the 4g63 since they're two completely different engines. But like i said, i really like dynomax and I'm considering putting one on my gst.i That or a magnaflow.

Why would you want to get rid of your Thermal muffler? People would kill for those.

 

[snowmansdsm09]

i know they would... but i want something really quiet !

 

[alex99gst]

maybe you might want to look into this then, from what i read it sounded nice, only thing is that you would have to know the piping size and all in mm

Wtf Is That !?

 

[chico904]

Hey, if you ever end up getting rid of the thermal muffler, I would definitely buy it! PM me if you do

Snake oil, basically.

our cars arent imports

 

[snowmansdsm09]

I dont consider my car an import either....

imports are the lil hondas, integras, and crx's.

import is such a werd !
