As above,

Does anyone have any recommendations? I need a large body, oval muffler to quiet down my 3 inch turbo back system. I've heard the X-Force range are pretty good, and quite cost effective. I accept that it probably won't quiet it down to a legal level, i.e under 90db, but i'm sure it might be sutable in the interim.

Basically, I need to pi$$ off the crappy loud cannon on it at the moment, and come up with something a little less "over the top".

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Kind Regards,

I will have a Magnaflow 3.5 inch oval muffler for sale soon, It is basically new but I am talking it off to replace it with a different one.

I think the part # is 14151 on the Magnaflow website, it has done about 500km, if you are interested let me know

I Have a Kakimoto Oval style cat back (3") ... to quiet for me..lol... came with the car... if someone is willing to swap it with a jap branded aftermarket system i'd be glad to.... but for this topic i have found this system to be quiet and not attract attention (cough cough gutted cat also cough cough)..

Jez.

he is only looking at changing one muffler not the whole system from what i see.

Precisely.

Im looking at the XForce MP02, I hear it will suit my application well. Any opinions?

do you have a mid muffler also on your setup?

looking to do the same thing also as mine is 3" all the way through with only a canon and its way to loud.

would putting a oval muffler at the end instead of canon be the best?

or leave the canon and go mid muffler?

or change both?

its just way to loud and droney at the moment

sorry to jump in on your thread... just thought it'd be better than starting another one for pretty much the same thing

Not a problem mate, i'm in exactly the same predicament. I'm planning on changing both the muffler and the mid-muffler.

I just bought one of the MP02 mufflers, delivered for $225. I've heard good things about them. That should quiet it down a little. Now just to change the crappy hot-dog into something larger/quieter, and hopefully I should have a system close or under 90db.

yeah seems to be the way to go.

i was actually looking at the magnaflow versions on that site. they're a bit more pricey though.

anyone know if theres a huge difference?

i'll probably change to an oval muffler either single or twin tipped. then if i need more quietness i'll throw a mid muffler in aswell

If you're changing both mufflers why not go the whole hog and get a whole catback? That's what I did, to save time and effort cutting and welding again.

I considered that, but I got my cat back pretty cheaply, and it has been custom made to run along the standard exhaust route, for a really stock look, so I guess, for me it will probably be more economical to have the new mufflers welded in. I can understand your logic though bloke, that's for sure.

Lol well I paid $150 for a JASMA compliant twin straight through muffler 5Zigen exhaust to replace my old straight through one (I admit it needed about $20 worth of welding on the front muffler and rear hanger tho), but I can understand if you want something brand new on there.

Would have loved a brand new Kakimoto catback, but $$$$$ was a factor (not to mention a $567 EPA fine which I got AFTER buying the new exhaust!)

The pipe between the mufflers is the cheapest bit mate. It's the mufflers that cost $$$. Escpecially if it's mild steel

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
