my buddy said he can get it a 2.25 cat back (not sure which type of bends yet) and all that stuff installed for 100 bucks.

about 320 bucks total for exhaust setup. sound good?

That looks like the exact same Cat i've got. it looks pretty small once it's installed but seems to flow just fine. It's got a much larger honeycomb than the stock unit so that probably accounts for the flow. and NO CEL! so the obd-II is happy.

You know flowmaster is mainly used on domestic vehicles , y would u want to put one on a Asian car. get OBX sounds great and not like a mustang like the flowmaster

not sure which tip yet, any ideas?

about 223 bucks total for exhaust setup. sound good?

Should sound good. If you have removed one of the cats altogether you may want to invest in a resonator at some point to avoid having a Honda Buzz.

Elantra87-Why does it matter what a flowmaster is used on? It should sound decent either way.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Flowmasters on Elantra's sound good. Please use some common sense before posting stupid nonsense.

Every OBX I've seen in the last 6months sounds like azz.

This argument has been carried on before in a thread by codenomics. If you want opinions on Flowmaster read this.

Codenomics. . . that name sounds familiar. Was he a tard too? :abovelol:

i see what your saying about the flowmaster stuff, but i thought 40 series is made for import tuner type cars. and i search for obx mufflers on here..just find arguments and such.

if i do get an obx muffler. it would be this one

http://www.2kracing.com/product_info.php/cPath/28_458/products_id/2859 (http://www.2kracing.com/product_info.php/cPath/28_458/products_id/2859)

also i read OBX mufflers seemed to be stereo-typed as fart cans. is that true? cause i gonna wanna go with something with a low rumble.

and if i get a flowmaster muffler ill go with one of the two tips

DTM Round (http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=695)
Dual DTM Round (http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=703)

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Flows, Dynomax and Borla's all give a nice deep tone. I've heard all 3.

If you remove the first cat that's with the header without resonators (even if you still have one cat in the car) you're going to be loud. I had the same setup (but with a Magnaflow muffler) and it was WAY too loud for my tastes. Buzzed alot, and was extremely loud.

[jayupark]

Even with a high flow cat in place, my car was WAAYYY too loud for my tastes when i had my headers on... it felt much quicker though. But I'm old now and my ears need rest.

About your exhaust... see if you can purchase some mandrel bends on Ebay too. You'll be set!

[algoesfast]

I just got my evofusion cat back installed. And I wouldn't want anything louder than that. That kit is perfect for my taste.

Dito,
Headers + Cat + magnaflow tuner muffler
EXTREAMLY loud + some buzz
by the way, if you decide to go obx buy it on ebay for 1/2 the price of what you posted.

Then u my friend are a ricer.

Why do you want to hear the muffler? The whole POINT of an exhaust system is PERFORMANCE, not RICER SOUND ! ! ! ! !

Please, like Bob said, use some common sense when you are going to reply with your thoughts, and make sure you make us aware it's YOUR opinion and not factual.

Additionally, many, many, MANY XDs/XD2s use the Flowmaster 40 Series, as it is the deepest sounding exhaust, and flows really well.

Also, the XD2 you know with the Flowmaster, I'm going to take a very accurate and wild guess here. That person doesn't have a header right??? That's why you can't hear it. Probably still has the resonator too.

_____________________________________________

SisTum ID: The set up you are wanting to go with will be just fine, and you will be very happy with it. Skip the OBX mufflers. It's not that they are rice, or whatever, but it's about the quality. You do not want to replace the muffler a year later because the internal sound deadening material is all gone. The Flowmaster won't do that to you.

As far as those tips go, they aren't my favorite tip, nor even my last choice in tips. There are a lot of tips out there that you can choose from, but it's your car, so you add the tip that you feel would best fit the image you have in your mind of your car with you behind the wheel. After all, a tip is all for looks, and it's your vision that matters.

Good luck with it, and BTW, those are very good prices!!!

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Dayum. I think we're brothers, seperated at birth or something. . . .

Where do I start . . . . .how about this:
U said uve seen and OBX iam guessing u havent heard one

Are you seriously that mentally challenged? I mean that seriously, notice the lack of "tard" anywhere in that question. Why would I say they sound like azz if I hadn't heard every ricey-racer integra-boy version of it? I mean I work in ricer central.

Then there's this:
eww that makes me sick, we are driving import cars people! hellO!!! only on this site i only see people talk about putting flowmasters and such on asian vehicles

Nope. You can read it hear, on E-club, probably on new tib and I know the Suzuki forums do as well.

So once again, keep your idiotic rhetoric to yourself.




SisTum- Muffler tips are a personal choice. I like double rolled tips either round or oval. But that's me. Either will be fine with your choice of muffler. YOu can always trim the bumper so the muffler tucks up a littler tighter and the tips poke out like they were meant to.

[BColeman]

Yeah Bob, I do believe we've been separated at birth, though by a few extra years. I don't recall a Bob in my lineage, but hell, my family tree is big enough for more people. I'll add you on the soonest I get a chance.:D

first of all my car doesnt sound like rice ok, not like a weed wacker not like a bumble bee, its a deep mean sounding tone and its loud enough to sound nice. but u guys just go ahead and put these on your cars, it doesnt matter what anybody thinks its what u like. i was just sharing my opinions

[PSUsouthpaw]

Pics are always appreciated! They make EXD go round!

[BColeman]

Your right, it's your opinion, but try stating that in your post next time. You know, IMO (in my opinion) or IMHO (in my humble opinion) or whatever.

Additionally, do you have a header? Probably not since it doesn't buzz. There's not a muffler on the market that will buzz on a stock Elantra unless it has a header. Even replacing the piping from the 2nd cat back to a muffler with no resonator in between and 2.25" piping will not cause a buzz.

There are states with laws that are so ridiculous that many people here do not want to be bothered by law enforcement simply driving to work while they attempt to modify their cars for better performance. Therefore the only way to go is a "like OEM" appearance, instead of a fart can. As a matter of fact, those with Flowmasters and Magnaflows have more power than those with the fart cans, as they retain their torque.

So it's much more than appearance or sound, it's law abiding and performance issues as well. Try one sometime, or race one at a track. They'll leave you behind. And I have the experience to back this up too. I'm a fart can kind of guy, but I no longer run one, and I bested my track time by .10 of a second by adding a chambered muffler to the system.

[Elantra87]

oh well thats cool. well i only have 2.25" catback with no resanator, iam working on buying the evofusion 4-2-1 headers from a guy on here. how will it sound...it will be louder than it is now right since i will have no cats? i like the loudness of the exhaust!

Then u my friend are a ricer.


first of all iam not ur friend,
second of all iam not a ricer.
third of all u must be a ricer cause u dont know what ur talking about i bet u still have stock exhaust.

fourth of all iam not trying to start arguments or anything, but some of you guys on here (not all) are complete A**es

[BColeman]

Yes, it will be louder, but that's when the buzz starts. Pick up a good quality resonantor to slap in, and you won't lose much of the growling sound of your car. You'll still have a tiny tinny sound under 3k RPM, but it goes away afterwards.

And believe me, you haven't heard loud. Try driving open header to an exhaust shop to have them weld in the extra pipe to make the mid-pipe reach the cat. I make Mustangs green with envy. And I've done it twice on both of my Elantras (XD and XD2).

With the EF header, you won't have to worry about that. But you will have the buzzing to contend with. Some don't care, others do. After 4 years of putting up with it, I have finally designed an exhaust system that will not make this sound. I'll actually have it installed in about 2 weeks. I'll post sound clips too. I will tell you it uses a Magnaflow muffler, just not the way most people use it here.

[Elantra87]

cool thanks for telling me about it, i guess i will jsut wait to see if i like the sound or not, btw iad like to hear the sound clips
