i gotta get my muffler sorted out its got holes etc.. i have a turbo tuff muffler in the shed 2". the car runs standard 1.5" pipe should i just get it welded on the rear and how loud will it be?? what sound have people got out of what setups?

honestly the only way to find out how loud it is, is to try it yourself. probably not the best thing welding it on to a half inch smaller diameter pipe... unless you get an adapter that goes rom 1.5" to 2".

Or if you have the spare $$$ put a new 2" system on it with some headers/extractors. Definetely made my 4k breath better.

the mufflers all been modifyed, the benefits of knowing 2 different exhaust fitters. problem is paying the money to get a sound like a wet fart in a can its a 1200cc corolla, i don't wanna be heard 3k's away going up a hill or stretching out a gear, its quiet now but it's leaking to much out the muffler just wondering if u run a resonator cause they change the sound a bit, i might get a reverse muffler see how it sounds. How does the 4k sound with your setup? does it drone on the highway or sound real buzzy? i just want a tight note thats why I'm thinking of leaving standard 1.5"

I have standard ke11 3k and exhaust. I cut the exhaust off just after the diff so no muffler and it was perfect IMO. Cruse along at 5000rpm and back it of to hear a nice growl. It was border line too loud like driving past cops or starting it up at 5am but was never pulled up for it.

 

I had to get a road worthy so I put a 2” straight through offset muffler on and it was too quiet. I replaced the little resonator with a straight pipe and it is pretty good but I liked it heaps better without a muffler.

My 4k is a rally car so its kinda loud... abit too loud for road use for my liking but sounds pretty tuff.

I've got Pace maker 4-1 extractors to a high flow "AEM" muffler then to a decent size hot dog. All the piping is 2" and exits under the passenger door.

hm car is heaps loud and sounds so cool

i have got extracters threw to a 2 inch exhaust threw to a hot dog then my rotary dumpy pipe sounds like a v8 when ideling

that is a nice dumper.

 

My old 4AC AE86 needed a muffler for roadworthy, I asked the guy to get something with a little bit more of a not to it and it was a nice clean, low understated engine note that wasn't the least bit intrusive.

 

Stock system apart from that.

For a roadie run a resonator and a muffler - 2" is a good size.

On my KE35 ran with a resonator and a 2" in twin 1.5" outlets (think XU1 Torana). Looked and sounded good after I bashed out some of the baffles :2thumbs:

 

On my KE20 club car tried heaps of different exhausts. The best one was a straight through 2" system that went under the diff into a small muffler and a 3" droopy out the back. Lots of comments re. "has it got a rotaty in it. The biggest bend was where it bent around the firewall.

 

Latter on I went to a more conventional over the diff system to gain ground clearance. Wasnt as good though :cool:
