I put magnaflows dual tip on my old coupe. Sounded great. Super deep.

Or you could get cherry bombs

cherry bomb's are those red resonators they sell at kragen right?

borla on my na s13 ka

sounds awesome

nice and deep not too loud

the end where the cat meets the piping has started to warp though

giving me a stupid exhaust leak

probably going to have muffler shop weld a straight pipe and delete cat to the muffler

we'll see how it sounds then

Dynomax bullet as a Resonator, Magnaflow dual-tip muffler...
3" all the way, including Magnaflow Cat (had to get it for the last year I had to pass the sniffer in NC), N/A KA.
Sounds like a fucking dream, not too loud (for me, at least).

what should I use if I want a quiet exhaust that isn't too loud during daily driving?

It's for the sr20det

^^^^dont know but i want a DEEP sound and don't really care if its loud, so I'm curious if these brands help the deepness on our cars as they do on American muscle cars.

custom 3 inch piping with a Magnaflow dual tip. 3 inch inlet dual 2.5 out. You can get it in 18 inch length or 13 inch length. 18 will be quieter.

would putting some resonators make it quiet?

but that sounds like a good idea. thanks.

04-10-2009, 09:52 PM
ooohhhh...i just thought about it......i could make my custom exhaust and not have to worry about the loudness as long as i also put a apex-i EVC......hhhmmmmm i just might.


correct me if im wrong...

Running a resonator in the middle would indeed make it even quieter. My St May 3.25 inch piping had a resonator in the middle. The original single tip muffler was messed up. I had it cut off and welded on the Magnaflow 13 inch muffler. It sounded dope and was not extremely loud. This was on a RB25DET powered S13.

On a Customers car I did the custom piping setup with no resonator but the longer 18 inch version of the muffler and it was not overly loud and sounded quite good. Nice deep sound. Stock looking out the rear. Cops did not notice it.

Do not go with Flowmaster. It makes all cars sound the same (like a Mustang with Flowmaster), at the expense of actual flow.

Unless you really want that sound, I guess.

Forgive the rattle you hear that's my failing T25.

Full 3" resonated & catted exhaust with magnaflow muffler. It's REALLY quiet under normal driving condition but once you put your foot down oh boy!

I have a 3" Hooker Max Flow on mine and that sh*t is serious. Nice deep note.

"The Maximum Flow muffler produces more horsepower and torque than a 2–1/2” open pipe. The Maximum Flow flows either direction, allowing for easy installation."

when i made henry (yarou, asparagus, whatever)'s exhaust on his S12 we used i think a magnaflow muffler, 3" all the way through - 24" resonator - (magnaflow?) muffler and blast pipes. sounds freaking lovely.

i ran a magnaflow for years. and just replced it with a magnaflow. replaced it because i now have a Greddy DD, not because it went bad.

theyre kinda on the loud side. but i liked it that way. they flow really well. and i prefer them over most other shit. they last. theyre quality.

Mine is a Thrush/dynamax welded muffler (the $25 one). 3'' turbo to muffler, gutted Catco, 18'' glasspack. 2.5'' dual outlets.

Sounds like a not ebay exhaust. Bass boombap throttle rumble. Quiet idle. shit is maximum

I have a custom catback made of welded together mandrel bend sections with a Flowmaster 40 series muffler on my S13 KA-T. Sounds great. Flowmaster mufflers have a series of chambers inside, not fiberglas or any packing. Deep tone also. Im thinking of making an exhaust to replicate the Trust DD out of a Flomaster 40 series single 3" inlet/dual 2.5" outlet muffler and some 13" long Flomaster angle cut tips.

This is my car - took this vid back in 2007?
Ordered a custom exhaust from BRMExhaust.com
2.5 Stainless steel piping, No resonator, and Magnaflow muffler.
It sounds great imo and everyone else has approved, I should probably record a new video soon.

Hope this helps any?

Edit: Don't mind the smoke, it was a cold start in winter.

As to the V8 thing. I run a worked LS6 with dual exhaust all the way out. Headers to 2.5 stainless into 2 12inch cherry bombs, into an H pipe then into dual Borla XR series mufflers in the rear.

Still too loud with my cam, but sounds nasty as hell

Ugh...I wish I knew...I'll try to find out though.

Also forgot to mention it was a stock KA motor, stock header. Not even with intake if that at all makes a difference.

But ya, I'll try to find out which muffler it is.
If anything ask BRM.
