mufflers

[lewiscook]

Hey guys i have a 2004 holden s ute and i have booked it in next week to have the rear muffler taken out and replaced with a pipe and tip to improve the sound for $100.

Do you think this is the best and cheapest way to improve the sound of my car?

cheers.

 

[Mr_Raditch]

No, quiet car = good car

muffler also provides back pressure.

you will burn your valves out real quick without a decent muffler.

replace the one you are taking out with a freeflow muffler, eg Coby..

I am not sure I understand the question, sound of your car? They sound different? Cars sound the same to me.

Then put a freeflow muffler on it

Definition: A free-flow exhaust system consists of a muffler (or mufflers) and tailpipes that are designed to make a vehicle run quieter without restricting the exhaust flow, an action that can improve performance and fuel economy.

NZ law

Noise tests for exhausts

Updated: 19 November 2009
By law the noise coming from your exhaust system must be similar to or less than the noise it made when your vehicle was manufactured. Two exceptions are where:

• the noise the exhaust emits is still well below legal noise limits
• An Objective Noise Test proves the noise doesn’t exceed the legal noise limits.

During a warrant of fitness inspection, the vehicle inspector may perform a Noise Quick Check. If your vehicle then fails a (WoF) check because of a noisy exhaust the inspector may refer it for an Objective Noise Test, which is a metered test based on international standards.

Do you have a tiny, limp penis by any chance?

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Drill some holes in it. It will sound like a race car. Fully sick.

 

[JoeD]

Why do you care what your car sounds like?

Steal my thunder, I was getting there.

:lol: Coby delivers again.

If your car wasnt made to sound "fully sick bras" originally it isnt worthy to.

While that will no doubt change the sound of your car, see if they'll add an extra couple of cylinders for say $50-80. That'll make heaps more difference, give it a low down grumble...

No, the cheapest way would be to get rid of the crappy holden and buy a decent car!
