it is possible to do rather easily. not the best for flow and sort of defeats the purpose of going 3", but anyway i will explain what to do.

simply take the car to an exhaust shop, tell them you want a 3" system and to keep the stock muffler. they will be able to do it for you. if they can't, hop back in your car and drive to another exhaust shop with people who actually have a brain.

there are 2 ways in which they could do it. 1 is to simply have the new system join the old muffler through a flange setup and bolt the 3" flange to the 2.5" flange (they will match up, just not the best for flow), or they can remove the 2.5" flange and flare it out to 3" and put a new flange on.

either way you will probably need a custom 3" system as there are very few aftermarket 3" systems that use the exact same piping route as the stock system and would match up with the stock muffler.

I think you would have more back pressure if you filled your muffler with cement and let it dry.

[mad082]

back pressure isn't good with performance. if you want peak power and are going to drive around constantly above 5000rpm then you want a nice big exhaust (but not too big) that flows well. however if you are going to just putter around town at low revs then there is no need to have a massive big exhaust as it won't flow any better, and can even negatively effect the flow at low revs. it might be good in the higher revs, but if you are going to be doing most of your driving at low then you want an exhaust tuned for that rev range, which is what most factory headers are.

Easier just to fit a quiet aftermarket exhaust than have the standard muffler fitted to a 3" pipe.

[mad082]

you will get better performance from doing that too

[mad082]

but if you still want the twin tip look, just buy a twin tip muffler to suit the system you buy.

[Tony de Wonderful]

Does twin tip sound different from a Cannon?

[mad082]

at a guess, yes. won't sound drasitcally different as the general design of the engine will determine the exhaust note, but the volume and drone, etc will be altered by putting on different mufflers

Thanks guys. i might fit my standed one and let u gys know.
