the picture you posted looks like a replacement muffler only.

are you looking for an exhaust system or just a muffler? a muffler will not bolt directly to your car. it will require a custom welding job.

on the other hand, an exhaust system will include a muffler and a midpipe and will bolt in to your car.

Look up supersprint or stromung exhaust.

I know I would need to weld this one? But do you think it will sound like the stock one?

a chambered muffler like the one you posted will have little to no difference than stock

if you want sound look for straight through mufflers or glasspacks.

why not invest on a true exhaust system that is made for our cars? The stromung is a very good candidate for your taste.

thats outlet.


as for the sound question, no one knows. every car is different especially on generic universal mufflers.


another advice i can give is, check out BOSAL exhaust for our cars. then have your exhaust shop take out the front resonator to make it louder.

bosal is just like OE replacement.

I have a 2.5inlet to 3inch dual tip. Still have my resonator but it's kinda loud. Might change it and yes it's a non chambered exhaust

I had this one for a very short time.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-13288/
Since I have dual cats I had it mounted with the single tip towards the back.
Pretty sure you can install it either way but the rear valence would need to be cut.

I replaced it because it was too loud. There is little to no packing material in there.
It has a bracket still welded.

Anyone interested in it?
