new exhaust.

[robbyr9090]

okay so i ordered an aftermarket muffler because the old heat shield on my exhaust rusted so now i have to deal with hearing air come out of the gaping holes in my exhaust.

this is the one i ordered.

i already have a cia and a header, so my question is, will this sound decent and non ricey if i was to just have an exhaust shop custom make me a cat back?
or should i get a high flow cat? does it really make that much of a difference?

i just dont want to be rolling around sounding like the pos hondas in my town.

thanks alot.

It should sound decent, but i prefer Straight Pipe no muffler that gives the Turbo Spool noise through the exhaust and not ricer at all. But this muffler should work fine.

He's got a 420a. Personally, I don't like the sound of too many 420a's regardless of the exhaust set-up. Nevertheless, it won't give you a very desirable sound with only an after market muffler. If I were you, I would just go with a cat-back with a resonator.

If I was him I would go with a stock rs, gs, or gst cat-back if you dont like the "racial term we are asked not to use" sound. But thats just my equation talking: loud = obnoxious = prick = compensating.

it wont sound bad i actually have one on my car and it sounds rather amazing. I bought the same one and i was a little afraid to put on because i thought the same thing but im going to take it off so i can straight pipe for the turbo spool

Me personally, I would have looked up sound clips on YouTube or elsewhere to get an idea of what the sound will be like. But I would gut the cat, have the shop installing the muffler Fab up a 2 1/2" cat back. The muffler I have, tsudo fireball, came on my car when I bought it. But my flex pipe was leaking. While having it put on I noticed crappy welding connecting the muffler. So I just had them Fab my exhaust there. Later I gutted my cat. I've heard nothing but good things about my exhaust. Clean deep tone up and down. Good luck with whichever avenue you pursue.

Thanks alot for all the positive feed back. I think I am just going to go head first with it and hope it comes out okay.

I will post a video of the sound as soon as i get it installed.

Stop spreading your misinformation in this section.

okay so i just got it installed about an hour ago.still burning the new off as we speak. I will get a video of it but you will have to forgive me because its coming from a blackberry. I think it sounds quite nice

B4 i had even thought about turboing my dsm i bought a Thermal cat back. I have a nice deep tone and no ricey sounds. Exhaust is 10 years old and still sounds as good 2day and the day i bought it. ## better off just buying a cat back vs a custom one imo. There are so many different ones out there.

yeah definetely get a cat-back. probably the best for a 420a. Magnaflow's are a good brand
