What do you think of this Muffler?

[hollywood_ikr]

I've been looking into a variety of mufflers recently. I live in Los Angeles aka hater cop central, and I would like to purchase a muffler that does not attract too much attention yet still looks nice and has a 3" inlet. I was originally gonna paint the muffler black but I believe the muffler I've decided on should fly by relatively unnoticed. What do you guys think? I think it's the SEX!

Look good! Should keep the cops away, look very similar to stock and has the 3" inlet. I like it!

I'd avoid anything chrome if you want to avoid the cops.

Vibrant mufflers has a stealth muffler series, that are flat black. Check them out if you havent already decided on what you are gonna put on your car.

I agree in part, but it's not like it's a big "fart can". I was thinking of painting the body but I'll decide after the install. I don't think this will attract attention at all, only from those whom actually know their stuff. Heck even our OEM have some chrome.
I feel this muffler says I don't to be the the biggest to kick your ass.

OH! This is the best part! I got it for $36 SHIPPED! Sometimes Ebay rocks

I would usually agree with you since I know magnaflow or BORLA make something similar to this but I am on a budget and although I know their aggressive sound, performance, and noise suppression would be superior I can't justify the huge price difference. (or maybe I just did! )

pretty nice find bro I would like to attached that muffler too. Less attention on car thieves and no Eye sore for the cops.

Looks like a generic ebay muffler Im sure it will sound like one too. Just my oppinion

I don't think it looks like a generic ebay muffler, this style of muffler is simply not "common". However until installed I won't know how it sounds, which I HOPE you are wrong about because this is a concern for me too. If anyone's interested I'll be happy to supply a video of the muffler after it's installed. Thanks for your opinion.

I wasn't a huge fan of the dual tip exhaust on a DSM but its slowly growing on me. I say go for it.

Oh yeah? 3" Dual Straight Tip T-304 Exhaust Muffler W/2.5" Inlet | eBay




I like the look though as long as the dual tips aren't too big. A lot of people here run ebay mufflers.

Yeah im interested. Lately i've been contemplating getting a stock appearing muffler to keep the cops away.

Fart cans are basically a resonator with a tip, if you don't like the sound get a glasspack before it to tune the sound, bigger diameter = deeper, smaller diameter = higher pitched

 

[hollywood_ikr]

Just received the muffler (took only 2 days!), and it actually looks BETTER than I thought it would. Upon close inspection the muffler looks very high flowing, 3" all the way, and I think it will have a great sound! I'll know for sure tomorrow when it is installed!

You did get it form ebay..It's a great looking muffler..But ebay mufflers lack in the sound dampening department..So it could be loud, who knows..But keep us informed on how it sounds..

Very interesting thread, I love how yours has a dual chamber (something I wish mine had, and its a TRUE sleeper, but for the $400+ you paid to do everything even though it was spaced out over time, it's simply not worth it for ME. I've selected a very similar muffler that I don't have to modify and looks great for $36! (less than 1/10 the cost of yours) and IMO a more visually appealing and aggressive looking muffler that shouldn't attract too much attention, if it does though, I'll hi-temp coat it gloss black like yours.

 

[thector1]

Yep.. its nice. This is why I love FL, most cops dont care about exhaust!

 

[GsxEcutioner]

I had that muffler on my vr4, switched it because it was loud and nasty sounding. Also it tarnishes and rust on the surface real quick. Since then I have switched to a vibrant muffler.
