technical exhaust questions

neilan · 02-11-2007, 11:35 PM

well i am reader to order up a thorely header, all the pipe i need, and a muffler from summit racing. I want my exhuast to sound deep but not excesivly loud. I previously have had a 40 and 50 series on another truck with no cat but thought they were a little too loud and ricey.

I have searched a ton and have a few options in mind. I am considering the summit turbo muffler (the $17 one ) or the summit welded muffler ( $37) I have found a few people have had these buy searching but havent found alot of info one how they will sound.

I will not be running a cat and i am wondering of mouting the muffler where the cat used to be and running the new 2.25 pipe along the usual route to theback will affect tone or "riceyness". What affect would this have? Anyone personally try it?

alos why are you not going to run a cat ?

neilan · 02-11-2007, 11:50 PM

the link you posted was fro a magnaflow not a summit muffler. Also i am not runnign a cat because i dont have emisions and dont see it fit to. I am not about to get in a big arguing match over it either

I have a 2.25" pipe on my 22re and it made a huge difference in power delivery.

Have you ever driven a 22re before and after a 2.25" exhaust was installed?

I have a Magnaflow on my rig.. no header, with the original cat.

A friend has a header and a flowmaster (With cat) on her rig and it sounds a lot deeper than mine. My truck is very quiet which was I originally wanted with a slight growl to it. Not as quite as stock tho.

But ofcourse the engine is louder than the exhaust from within the cab.

I had a muffler shop put a magnaflow and 2.5" pipe. It's all he had. I would have liked 2.25" .He deals with muscle cars mostly. You can see in the pic he put the muffler right after the cat. Clearance could be an issue if you wheel a lot.

The trucks bottom end suffers quite a bit but I wasn't going to bring my own pipe to the shop and I don't have a welder of my own yet. I thought I had read somewhere 2.25" was an ok max for 22re? I was told as few bends as possible helps with efficiency. (hope that's not retarded obvious)

Anyway the sound is pretty agressive and fairly low. Not too many import tuners look at the truck when I pass by. Some V8 old school types give a glance but I know I'm not fooling anyone. Overall with the LC header it's a bit louder than I would have liked but not to the point of annoying on the daily commute.

I wish I could tell you exactly which magnaflow it is-all I know is it is stainless of some variety. Hope this helps, here's the best pic I could get.

One more thing-I made a mp3 of how it sounds but don't know how to post it.

my old 2wd 22re had stock exhaust and it was sweet. very slow in the upper rpms tho...

got a 3.0 now and i'm getting ready to do a 2.25 catback with a flowmaster 40. i like that deep growl too. sorry to polute this 22re thread, just felt like chiming in!

email it to me and I'll host it.

Try the gmail address.

Btw, magnaflows are rated by length. Take a tape measure to it and you'll know which one it is. Measure length, height, and width and the inlet and outlet size and you can pinpoint it on their webpage.

I'll bet you have a 14" oval like mine in 2.5"...

2_86's · 02-12-2007, 07:23 PM

If you can host the mp3 that would be cool. I sent you two. The second one is better.

The muffler I have measures as follows:

18" long
4" high in the center (it is an oval)
9" width
2.5 in/out

facing the front of the muffler the inlet is staggered left
in the rear the outlet is centered.

I just installed my thorley header this weekend. I'm running 2.25 piping carsound cat. and 18 magnaflow muffler. I'm happy with the performance gain but it's a bit too loud for me. Nice quiet idle but sounds a bit ricey to me. Gonna see about a resonator this week to quiet it down a bit.

The Magnaflow doesn't sound too bad. I personally find them to be too mellow.

My set up with be Header with 2.25" collector to a Flowmaster Hushpower 2 muffler (2.25 in/out) to a dump. Should sound pretty good I hope.

CanTheWhales · 02-13-2007, 11:53 AM

When I get around to it, I'm gonna run a Doug Thorley Tri-Y header into 2.25" stainless all the way back to a Cherry Bomb Turbo Oval II muffler and then dump it out at the stock location behind the rear tire...I have a 22R, but I just wanted to share... (and yes I know it will be loud)
