megan gt muffler, blah Options

[Nate]

i just got 2 megan gt mufflers in the mail, and they look pretty good. the only problem is, i could just about fit my head in the muffler. they have 4.5" tips, and they look a lot bigger than i was expecting. does anyone have a muffler with a 4.5" tip on the end. i just wanna see a good picture from behind, because im afraid its gonna look real ricey. They look pretty sweet, so i dont really want to return them, so hopefully someone has a pic that looks good. thanks

I dont have 4.5 mufflers..but as long as it looks good, and it doesnt make a farting noise..then its good..What matters is you like it, and it sounds and looks good..post some pics..

I have the m-ni muffler. I like it. What's this farting noise?

[nowitzon]

i have 3.5 its extremely loud good muffler though im getting a resonator that should help

[Nate]

drocay, you got any pics of yours from behind? thats close enough size to mine that i can get a good idea of what it will look like.

[playr158]

hold on i'll get you those pics

[playr158]

thats when it was on my car
but its the same

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

You might want to get you a rear lip with a noch in it, and maybe tuck that thing up under your bumper a little more. It's hard to get a muffler like that to look good with no dips in the bumber.

EDIT: Oops. I didn't realize that wasn't the posters car. My advice still stands. Glad to hear you got a 3.5" now playr158.

I'm still curious to know what this farty sound is. Any sound through the exhaust would be just from the engine. I supose if it run ruff it could sound like a fart. But even if you were just using a glass pack, it wouldn't sound bad if you had a good running engine. Right?

[CheesyLobster]

I dont like it... I have a 3.5 and I think thats too big. There is no advantage housepowerwise to having a muffler tip that is any bigger than your exhaust piping (which for stock I believe is 1.75).

[playr158]

the "fart" noise is refered to as a tone of your exhaust

just go listen to a honda go racing up the street with an exhaust
thats a "fart can exhaust"

So, if it sounds like a Honda, then it's a fart exhaust? That's it? This just sounds like something someone has made up. I suposed I have heard exhausts that were pretty crappy. Ones were people just cut the mufflers off, or put thoughs trucker duels on a fourcylinder. It's all about getting the exhaust gasses out though.

[mark_426]

If it sounds like a bumble bee or a high pitched BUZZ so to speak I'd call it a "fart can" or a "coffee can" or just a "ricey" exhaust.

Maybe thats just me.

And I like my tips better :-P more unique

[playr158]

unique?

dual 3" tip mufflers are all too common?

just refered to as DTM style

[Drocay]

thats kinda fugly bro.

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I like the two tip design. I thought about getting it myself, but the muffler I have was cheaper, and I didn't really care to much about what it looked and sounded like. I just needed some kind of less restrictive muffler to go with my exhaust.

I personally think thats hideous, but its all preference. I like mine and they're staying.

And, playr, I would have to say I see more 3.5"+ tips than dual tips here, anyway.

Guess I'll have to go fab something else up...

[playr158]

ok so you have a pic of my old exhaust?!
wanna cookie?
that exact muffler is now on drocay's car

my new exhaust is in the mail
