Hello!

I can't decide which muffler to choose.

you're english is fine

I'd go for choice 1, but it's gotta be a 2.25" inlet, 3 - 3.5" outlet or something like that

Muffler #1 Inlet is 2 1/4" and outlet is 4"
Muffler #2 (carbon) Inlet is 2 1/2" and outlet 3 1/2"

I think about Carbon, because it look very

 

[blcknspo0ln]

whichever one you get, make sure your entire exhaust system will match the inlet

I like #2, but I'm a little more partial to the carbon fiber look...

 

[sphillips91]

Im partial to #1. Like the look of shiny polished stainless steel.

id go with #1 for sure, a Ti burnt tip always looks hottt. but if u have a LOT of other CF items(hood/trunk?/tails) than go with the CF to keep the 'theme' going.

Im partial to carbon fiber so i would go with choice #2, even better with the 2.5" inlet. Igot the best of both worlds wih my HKS - carbon fiber muffler body and the bluish burnt titanium tip.

Tell us how it sounds when you get it installed.

Call me crazy but whats so special about a tip that looks like its been burnt/color warped? I mean cheap mufflers will start to discolor like that because, well they are cheap heh. Its like those American Eagle clothes that come brand new with huge holes in them.

Is it supposed to make your car look like its got so much power it shoots flames out so hot they discolor the tip or what .

Personally a nice shiny exhaust that cleans up easy and doesnt rust is what Im into. Looks clean and new all the time. But w/e sounds a little to fast n the furious to me.

Hey I saw on mtv they installed something on an old mustang that you could flip a switch inside and it would shoot colored flames out of the exhaust, or a pep boys light up tip perhaps :laugh:

go with the carbon it would look better

btw
is anybody installed this stuff

http://www.ractive.com/index.php?sr...ctive&category=Bolt On Components&pos=0,15,92

C116 - This Ractive Bolt-on Exhaust Resonator for the Mitsubishi Mirage 1.8 97 is mild steel with gary powder coated ends. Replaces the stock catalytic convertor and performs like a high flow catalytic upgrade.

that is a difference in sound.
big or very big.

I'd go with #1 as well, but I'll biased against the CF look.

*Sidenote...What inlet would be required for a stock exhaust? I need to replace my rusted muffler.
