Lockjaw Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 If you like loudness get a flowmaster. Otherwise get a 2.5 or 3 inch set up with a straight thru muffler like a race magnum, hooker max flow, or walker ultra flow. You trying to outloud the Honda's with fart pipes?

fl327 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 if you like super loud, go with 2.5 or 3 inch pipe and run a cherry bomb glass pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl327 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 dollar for dollar the straight pipe into a cherry bomb glasspack will flow the best, they are 20.00 at any auto store, and they usually have them in stock, this is also the loudest you can get, you will drown out any honda and almost any car except a v8 with the same combo. i promise.

Lockjaw Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 And if you really want to make the glasspack loud, put water down in you exhaust and fire up the car and blow it out. Gets rid of the packing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 yeah who needs the packing? oh youll love it youll be so loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 dollar for dollar the straight pipe into a cherry bomb glasspack will flow the best In Dyno tests, the glasspacks have done horribly. While the straight through design looks like it would flow well, the perforations actually inhibit flow. If it were my money (and it was..) I'd run 2 1/2" aluminized pipe and the Walker Dynomax super turbo. Get the center in offset out. Your muffler shop should be able to rotate the case where virtually none if it hangs below the fender. Just remember, "Friends don't let friends run a tailpipe larger in diameter than the exhaust pipe..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Hey 77kza, I can verify and recommend the dynomax super turbo. I had it installed on my '79 w/ no cat, headers, straight-thru/offset w/ 2.5" piping. I was incredibly pleased, the sound and performance fully surpased my expectations. And I have some thing to go from, becuase while there aren't many nice s30's in my town, there are quite a few tuned zx's. And I must say, braggably, mine sounds the best. Perhaps its the half-dead piston clunking around in there, but its unanimous around here that people are suprised all that sound is coming from a 2.8L |6, and not like a 289, or small v8. It gets lots and -980mak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frank280z Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I agree. Dynomax super turboes and the hemi super turboes sound great Barely any interior drone and good performance too. My bro in law has an old thrush on his 2.4 l6. I don't like it at all. Just my opinion. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 i run one super turbo with two inlets, back pressure city, i dont even care, the quietness is beautiful, i think if i were to do it again with a pumped up motor i would just go dual super turbo, man they are peace.

Lockjaw Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 A super turbo is not going to be loud enough from the sound of things. I have the hooker max flow 3" straight thru muff, and I like it. It sounds wicked when the boost hits, but that could be the 5 inch tip that my buddy put on there figuring I would get more street action. Hasn't worked, but the tip sure is big. I agree with Ross re the glasspack, they don't flow well, but they are loud. You want stright thru with no perf's hanging down in the exhaust stream. You proably want one of those race magnum bullet mufflers. They are cheap they flow well, and they have very little packing, hence they are LOUD. Check out summit, they are cheap. Not much more than a glasspack, and probably just as loud. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I have to say Lockjaw's fart tip is huge. I've seen it. It's funny big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 The important thing to remember is that I did not put the tip on, nor did I pay for it, my buddy did. HAHAHAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 im the guy that has a four inch chrome tip wellded on to his super turbo muffler, quiet as heck but looks like a fart pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 hey all! and thank you so much for your input!!! i ended up going with 3' to a flowmaster... it sounds and moves so sweet now!!! i luv it!!! and i can over do the sound of the rice!!!

Lockjaw Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Just watch out for the Fuzz. That is ho you draw attention to yourselves, and the fuzz here in Bham love to stop loud honda's. My tip is 5 inches by the way, and chrome. I'm not braggin mind you, but since it was free, what the heck. Should we change the topic to "lets see who has the biggest tip"?
