Ok, I bought a Dynomax Super turbo muffler from a buddy for $20.00. It looks like he had it sitting in his garage -practically brand new- (a few scratches but nothing serious) I dont really know if it is worth the trouble hacking and welding away at my exhaust system, or if I should just sell it off to someone interested or on ebay. My plan was to take the original muffler off, get a reducer and bolt that on, then get new 2.5" pipes to run to the back of the truck from the new muffler so it will be a direct fit. The only problem is that I think I would have to fab up new mounting points for the new pipes. I can email pics if needed.

go have a 2.25'' cat back made should cost less than 100 bucks

hmmwv15

Is it something I can bolt on and go??

Elton

no a exhaust shop will cut your old one off after the cat and run new 2.25'' pipe all the way back

hmmwv15

oh ok so I'll be paying for the service.....name a good place I can get this done at.

Elton

not sure where to go you have to go to a few places and get some quotes

hmmwv15

ok cool, do you think it will be worth it though?

CJM

Probably not, but it may sound decent. Dont forget its a 4 banger so its gonna sound like a rice rocket.

hmmwv15

ya I kinda figured, but how much of a ricer will it sound like? Is it like a deeper blop blop ricer sound or like a wing-ging-ging kind of ricer sound. (Sorry for the sound effects)

CJM

No telling really, it all depends on the back pressure, engine size, exhaust system and the muffler.

Honestly I dont think it will sound good, but if you wanna see do it.

hmmwv15

oh well......anyone want a dynomax muffler?? lol

Elton

i had a 22re with a custom intake Lce header full 2.25'' exhaust hiflow cat flowmaster delta 40 sounded awesome not like a honda at all

CJM

Key here is you had an intake and hiflow car as well. If he does it, it will sound good too!

hmmwv15

Really? that's cool, Still though, if it's either a hit-or-miss kind of thing, im not sure that I want to do it or not. I don't know though, if I get enough money this X-mas I might very well do it. Also a project (I'm doing it in the summer) I have a sun roof that I will probably be dropping in the roof of my pickup out of an old van. It will look awkward but It's gonna be pretty cool.

CJM

So long as you get a new cat and do an intake it should sound good..

Good luckonthe sunroof project..hope it doesnt leak when you get done. I had one in my camry and every other car and never even really used it so I figured why bother lol.

hmmwv15

Ya I hope it turns out good too. Hell, it's my first car and it really doesn't matter if it gets screwed up or not since its old and beat up.

CJM

Yea I hear ya, so long as it runs I could care less what my vehicle looks liek so long as it has some form of paint..primer is paint right?

hmmwv15

haha, yeah mines spray painted. Crappy paint though. (in my avatar) Thats its good side though and it does look like primer doesn't it? It's really Olive Drab I swear

I have the v6 with a highflow 2.5 " system guy did it for me for like 200. It was from the cat back. He replaced the caty, muffler, and welded the pipe. I have a pic but its quite blury my camera batteries were dead. As far as difference I do notice I go up hills alot better and I hit 80-90 alot easier on the HWY. I haven't had a chance to notice gas mileage yet as I broke it about 3 weeks after having it done. That is mud on it btw. Oh the sound its nice and deep. I can't wait to get it back I got a date set for Dec 20th.

hmmwv15

ya, you have a V6 though, but I don't know, it might work out that way for me too.
