changing ebay muffler out to something quiet

By 1nonlyaccord
- Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:10 pm #263779 Bought the package deal on ebay;Header,cat back for 175$.
Installed it,and its way to loud,and the pissed off bumble bee sound.
Can I weld on just a performance muffler,keeping the ebay piping?
I have a Universal Magnaflow CAT installed aswell.
I already had to cut the muffler and shorten it about 4" to fit my hatchback.
can somebody tell me or show me a good muffler for about 100$ or less? Im looking into a magnaflow one on ebay for 110$shipped,but read they are also loud.
thanks guys

Its a JDM b20 with 4-2-1 Headers, No Cat, and Straight piping to a Turbo Muffler. It louder then stock but not "loud" even with the roof off. It has a Nice Deep tone to it and reminds me of my WRX's exhaust.

- Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:23 pm #264202 im not really looking for a certain sound,just not the fart can sound in the upper rpms..
I may end up putting my stock piping on with a muffler laying around work.

what turbo muffler are you speaking of? The Thrush listed above?

- Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:51 am #264289 U can definately keep your ebay piping and reweld another muffler on. Now anything that u can see directly through the muffler is going to be loud.. and off set muffler can reduce sound along with addin another resonator to the system! Personally i hate the turbo/thrush muffler.. why? i just dont like the look and the sound it makes might as well buy a stock muffler and drill a few holes in it.. smh..

So look into an off center muffler with a chamber in it it reduces the sound alot.. and gives more of a sporty tone..

im thinking about getting a Vibrant muffler and I too have the ebay special but with a stock mani, does adding a header change exhaust tone as well?

- Fri Sep 09, 2011 5:50 am #271019 I have a magnaflow on my delsol currently.

When I get my all new exhaust done soon I will be getting 2.5" piping, a Vibrant Resonator, and a Vibrant muffler. I heard a Toyota 86 with one and it was the best sound, Non Subaru 4 Cylinder i have ever heard. It was amazing.

My exhaust sounds good now, but its not on that same level, that was magical. I'm really damn tempted to do to my WRX as well.

I seen an integra going one day.Young girl driving it and it sounded amazing.I saw the car later on that day went over and looked at the exhaust and sure enough vibrant was stamped/etche onto it. It sounded NICE. Id strongly consider gettin a vibrant if i wasnt broke
