Need to find a muffler please

[thegreatestben]

I want to quieten the 7agte down a bit, I measured it at idle and it's currently sitting at 111db hehe.

my exhaust is 3" and currently looks like this:




I was thinking about doing something like this to replace both.


Or alternate ideas are welcomed.
I had a look through repco's catalogues and couldn't find anything really.
Only some 3" sport mufflers which are about the same size as the current reso's but muffler looking(round barrels)

in all honesty get a genuine flowmaster they do twin in and out there roughly almost 300 off trademe but will quiet it down ive heard a v8 with a 3 inch exhaust on each bank comming out the side with one of these in there before exit and it was really quiet

[thegreatestben]

mm yeah had some nice stainless 3" mufflers on my celsior.
Lol @ 300 though. Twice that price netted me the entire exhaust on the uz.

[jakesae101]

well you can pic them up alot cheaper now i think i had a look on trademe they were at like 150-250 mark

[Scrunty]

What are the chase mufflers like?
Standard issue type or can you get some that flow well?

[thegreatestben]

Can get different types of baffling and what not.
Wasn't really anything to suit my appplication + they don't look bling.
Which I'm all about.

Replacing the whole system in mine tomorrow as its all kinds of f**ked.. cracked header I think + cat is stuffed and the baffles have blow themselves to pieces in the muffler .. sounds like a massey ferguson from the 1950's
I'm going for the anti-bling
One thing I have been noticing though, i can make it backfire now (blipping on downchange usually)
Does that mean its running to rich? Oxy sensor replacement good to do while getting the exhaust done? (225 on the clock)
/ sorry for the hijack

my car has 1 2.5 inch all the way from manafold back 2 resonators and a cannon with a silencer i took the bolt holding the silencer off and put a rivet in but i must have been slightly to small because 5m up the road the silencer blew out and spat a whole lot of stuff on the car behind me but i dont think they noticed but jesus it was loud

[Scrunty]

Can do one better there, more than just the baffles blew out

You could also get a flowmaster with the inlet/outlet at the same end which would mean the outlet would still be in the stock position i.e. sleeper.....

[thegreatestben]

Do you mean like this?



Cos thats what I had in mind.

Just get an M & H one from STA Parts in Auckland. The Mrs got one for her car for ~$90 shipped to Palmy and I put it on. Went from horribly loud 2.5" straight pipe to almost stock noise levels with just the one in line muffler. Hasn't affected performance either as far as I can tell.

[mr30%jr]

u mufler systems allways sound shit on aw11s, if you can still find an HKS one someone they are nice

[no_8wire]

WHAT! You want to actually put mufflers on that thing rather than just resonators! haha

Not really. Just the inlet and outlet at the same end - not in and out at both ends. Don't need to loop it together then and the muffler would probably be cheaper. Put a hanger on the left side and hang it from the chassis rail - there are a couple of threaded holes there.
