I want to upgrade the muffler on my 4cyl. and flipping through the new summit catalog I came across the Hooker Headers Aero Chamber mufflers. They are only $54, and claim to have a "mellow deep tone." I am on a limited budget so the price is good, and I want more performance, not a car that sounds like NOS injected lawnmower. So have any of you guys used these mufflers? What other mufflers are there that are about $50 or less that improve performance and don't make a ruckus?Sorry if this is the 1000th time this question has been asked, but I have seen the "muffler page," can't remember whose site it was on, but that was all V6's, and no 4's. Thanks for the input.

 

Well Plays_with_toys, if I didn't know better I'd think this was an adult forum. A word to the wise...you get what you pay for especially in regard to cheap hookers....

Ha!
....Sorry couldn't resist, you gotta admit you left yourself WIDE open for that one.



*DISCLAIMER*
Many believe the pun to be the lowest form of humor, some even refer to it as tortuous, but then there are those of us who are gluttons for PUN-ishment......

 

The question is, who DOESN'T like hookers?

I actually have no opinion on this matter, just trying to help you keep at the top of the listings.

Those are the people that don't understand the joke

 

btw, not to flame or anything but there's no such thing as a v4. FYI It's a straight 4

 

Where is the mention of a V4? I think he means listings are for V6's and no 4 cyl not that he was saying V4.....

 

That's my page, and also listed here on the link "Yotatech on the web."

Yes, no 4 cylinder sounds yet, sorry.
I have asked a few who have a nice muffler setup on their 4s, but they don't have access to digicams to get me sound bytes or videos.

Give the last addition on my page a look.
That is a Pep Boy's 18" glasspack, and it sounds good on the V6.
It might sound good on yours.

The shop I deal with Stan's Headers in my area swears by a glasspack for the 4 cylinder and V6 engines.

 

Is there such a thing as a V4?

 

actually didnt subaru make a v-4 ?

oops, i read it wrong, my bad.

 

There are such things as V4s. there was a Saab engine, the Eagle Talon TSI V4, and subaru impreza's. im sure there were more as well

 

I don't think the subura was a v4, they call it a "flat four," but I don't remember the cylinder configuration.

 

The rally Subaru's used the V4's but I don't know if it is in the production vehicle as well.

 

actually didnt subaru call theres a box 4 , or maybe that was the tranny .

"Flat" refers to the fact that the cylinders are 180 degrees separation, 2 or 3 on each side. The block and heads creating a flat shape. Subaru uses a flat 4 and 6 in some of thier production cars.

Porsche put a flat 6 in thier 911s for a while, I don't know if they still do.

Porsche 924,944 also had high -output V4s in them.

Help me review:

The "V" degree separation varies between 30 and 65 depending on manufacturer.

Inlines typically have the pistons moving straight up and down.

I think Ford built a "slant-6" for a while, cylinders inline but tilted 30* or so off verticle.


Ok, I'll stop rambling and let you get back on topic.
