[politicsareevil]

Alright so I was going to put my apexi N1 black muffler on when my swap was finished but.... that friggen expensive muffler got stolen by the dude who was doing my swap.... long story.. (he stole my apexi bov too)... Any way what muffler should I get... I am somewhat leaning towards the greddy SP2 muffler cuz Im starting to like the "stock" looking SP2.... Let me know what you would recomend for a muffler for my 3s swap what do you swap guys use and what would you recommend and why???

Depends on your power needs. If you want to keep it around or below 300whop, go with 2.5'' piping. If you want big power, you'll need 3''. You'll need a downpipe, and you will want a muffler with an inlet that matches your exhaust piping.

And I can't believe the guy you HIRED to do something, stole things from you, how does one get away with that? Low down dirty shame right there.

To answer you and DEATHs questions in the same post it goes as follows.

I am planning on getting a berk DP and although I dont make but about 250$ a week, I am really good at saving my money so money is not an issue on my exhaust.... I would buy the greddy full catback for the 94-99 celica but will it fit with the swap or will it need a bit of modding? I probably will go 3 in though but I am concerned for my emissions testing at the moment.... I have cat back 2.5in to an ebay 5zigen knockoff muffler right now from my 7a setup.... I was wanting the Apexi N1 like I had but at the same time I might want that clean semi stock looking SP2.... As far as the guy I hired to do my work stealing from me.... 1st off I will never release his name or the company he owned... Doing my swap put him out of business. He took a job that he "said" he could do... It took more time and effort than he though. He did not manage his priorities correctly and without completing my swap he never recovered my payment. However, I did purchase a set of lightweight Kosei K1 rims with G-force T/A drag radials on them that he never gave me either. So all that he kept was the Rims/tires, N1 muffler, Apexi bov.... Yeah I took it hard on that. Here is the story.

When hurricane Rita came through houston, he said his shop was in a low level area and was afraid that it would flood. He said tow the car out and I can bring it back after the water goes down. Well I had it towed out and brought to the Honda dealer I worked for. Well I never got a chance to look at it because we were getting all the cars ready at the high point of the dealership grouped together for if we flooded. Mine was the first in at the highest point (gotta keep the celica from flooding before the hondas haha) Well consequently it got boxed in... We didnt move all the cars away for about 2 weeks. By this time cleaning debris from the dealership and cleaning all the cars was first priority. So it wasnt for about a month that I realized they were missing. I tried calling the guy and the shop had shut its doors. His cell was disconnected and the whole bit. I do NOT want to say the name of the company who screwed me. I do NOT want to say the guys name. I do NOT want to take it up with the BBB... I want to let the past die and not piss off the guy to where something bad may happen to my celica when its finished. I dont want resentment from the guy. I wish him the best of luck in whatever he wants to do in life. I wish him all the best prosperity and I wish the best for his family. I just hope I never see him again.

Now it is at a GREAT shop in Houston. This dude is awesome. He has a friggen turbo the size of a basketball on his 6 second civic hatch. When I went in for the first time to roll the car in I was like where should we put it. He was like well for right now lets roll it next to the skyline. I went to look at my car the other day and the engine was out next to a (b20 w/b16 head), (sr20 turbo), (2 Rb26 turbos) and a new corvette engine that is going into a supra. I think I am in good hands right now.



DEATH:

To answer your questions. I may buy yours if you go to let it go. Keep looking for one you may like. I just want mine semi quiet and low profile for the time being. I dont want anything extravagant right now. I havent driven the car in 3 years.... I just want my baby back. You know me better than anyone on this site. You know how I cared for my celica before all this crap happened. As far as time goes.... Tweak said he should be getting to my harness this week.... So its definately going to be about another month before I "need" the muffler.... I have a muffler on there so I am not hurting for one by anymeans.
