hey guys. i need some opinions and past experience views on an exhaust. i recently ordered my Hahn Stage 2 turbokit (finally) and im torn. i know for sure im going to run a full 3in exhaust and ive found a 3in flexpipe and catco cat. all i need to figure out now is what muffler and routing im gonna do. i cant decide between sidepipes and following the stock exhaust route. this is where you all come in. this is a poll and suggestion thread.
POLL: Sidepipe or Full
Opinions: need a good muffler for each exhaust style. please post whether or not you have used the muffler with boost (just in case the non-boosted are reading) when making a suggestion so i can see where certain mufflers sound best.
thanks guys. i cant wait to debut this thing cause i got a couple extra goodies to show at the same time.

well if your car is lowered good luck getting by the rear axle with 3" i had a hell of a time getting 2" 1/2 to get by axle would hit the pipe but we massaged it enough to get it working
"dude, thats a girls car"
NOT ANY MORE!!! PSHHHTTT!!!!
you won't be able to get a 3" exhaust run if your car is lowered plain and simple.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
thats what i thought. oh well....any muffler suggestions for the sidepipe setup?

anyone got any suggestions on small mufflers that will fit, or come close to fitting, in the tunnel yet muffle the sound enough to be bearable for daily use

u have made some pretty dumb posts the last couple days. u just need to stop man.
example: a t3 super 60 is to small for an eco
there have been plenty that have run 3 inch exhaust while lowered only one i can think of rite now is brandon fetter with the turboed z24.
oh and j mack also. talk to one of those guys.
well the turbo make a great muffler in itself, but if you want to quiet it down even more, go with
Magnaflow, check that out. Magnaflows are relatively quiet and this one will fit in the tunnel nicely, as long as you put it directly behind the cat.

1) this isnt a bashing post. take that to email or AIM. thank you have a nice day.
2) he was right. we tried to get a 3in pipe in there how we would run it. it was all good until we put a little weight on the rear end. the car wanted to crush the piping a bit. damn solid rear axles. anyone wanna come do a IRS conversion for me? me and the boss are too busy right now. LOL

i got 3 inch all the way back "not lowered" had to crush the pipe going over the axles (only crush bend). I am running 2 dynomax bullet mufflers and a magnaflow 3 in 4 out. Its pretty loud but sounds amazing. try using the bullet mufflers though, they are cheap (30 bucks a piece) and fit in the tunnels pretty well.

I have 3-Inch Mandrel Bent Exhaust all the way back.
It is a tight fit, but I have no noises or rubbing of ANY kind.
So...It CAN be done!
Good Luck, can't wait to see it.
Oh, and I'm 5 threads away from being fully lowered on the RK Sport ProStreet Coilovers.
hmmm...maybe we'll have to try it again. when we had it in there i laid down in the trunk to simulate it bottoming out or coming close like its likely to do here so maybe i compressed it too much....
we'll try again.
mcnulty: what muffler you running and how loud is it?

3inch Mandrel, No Cat, Apexi N1 Turbo Muffler
Very Loud, Agressive note during wot. Very Clean, Deep note on deceleration. Best way I can explain exhaust tone through text, lol.
Also, for added clearance above the rear axle, we used an airhammer on the underbody to dent it upwards. Not sure if it was rubbing, but my mechanic did it anyway for a little extra room.
lowered 2", full 3" exhaust....3" in, 4"out Magnaflow race muffler......lots of room around the axel beam......flange placement is key.
Also running full 3" over the axle. It can be done on lowered cars. All I have for mufflers is the turbo and a dynomax bullit. By the way, if anyone wants one cheap i have a brand new one still sitting in the garage.
