Well I just installed my magnaflow oval muffler 2.5" onto my 94 2.2 liter celica. First impression was I lost a fair amount of low end torque..... and its seems to rev up faster, but I want more economy than a race car.
-This is what my system composes of now: 1. Exhaust manifold to factory cat on manifold *flex tubing was removed* as it was rotten and I just welded in a solid pipe so now I get a little vibration at high revs not good gotta get a new flex pipe. I couldn't believe how restrictive this piece was!!!! *But maybe this motor needs some restriction????? 2. Stock size exhaust tubing 3. I kept the resonator muffler 4. After the resonator muffler I went to 2.25" tubing up and over the support beam just like factory does. 5.then to 2.5" magnaflow oval muffler.... *Now the sound is slightly more aggressive but nothing shattering or even slightly attention grabbing..... ***THe real breaker in this deal is if my mileage dropped.... That can't happen I am thinking I should possibly try. 1. Removing the resonator muffler * to get a louder exhaust note 2. reinstall the factory muffler and smaller exhaust tubing to up the backpressure, *Has anyone tried this idea as I wonder what it sounds like and does to the torque on take off?? Basically what I am after is louder exhaust but same factory torque down low...... THanks..... |

shouldnt do anything to ur gas mileage....
-------------------- the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
