This muffler isn't doing it for me - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

jerseyjon · 04-28-2010, 11:37 PM

Well i bought my s13 last week and I'm not really digging the sound it has.
It has 3" piping already, but it has a silencer in the muffler.
I didn't get too far trying to search through the forum.

I also really like the look of dual tips though i haven't been able to really come across anything

Any suggestions?

They look sick as hell! I love that staggered look, but from what i've read they're supposedly ridiculously loud

it looks like a gay ebay can, if you like the canister exhausts I'd go with a HKS or apexi. I think the HKS's are quieter just from what i've heard

quick question.....have you ever taken the silencer out?...

j20accord00 · 04-29-2010, 08:14 AM

id either cut it off and weld some dual tip setup or just buy something new.

btw post up some pics of the whole car.

I'll look into some HKS and here are some more pics.
Don't worry, like i said in another thread, i plan on realigning the front end and painting the bumper(or getting a new one) very soon.

I've looked through this site and found some pretty sweet HKS and Apexi mufflers, not really any dual tips though

you got to get that front end straight looks like its held together with bubble gum.

I would go back and find the person you bought the car from and punch him in the taint for making possibly the uggliest s13 i have ever seen.

front bumper doesnt flow with the hood side skirts or rear bumper AT ALL. Silvia symbol isnt even centered.

Lots of work ahead of you.

as for the muffler take the silencer out first and see how you like it. Just a warning blast pipes on a stock Ka sound awful

hahaha well it was actually the kid he bought it from, but i got a good deal on it so i can't really complain. I plan on fixing the bumper, fenders, and hood asap. I like a bit of a project though, and this is nothing compared to the work i had to do on my old 300zx. BUT anyway...I'll try pulling the silencer out today.

lazysk8er2 · 04-29-2010, 12:02 PM

you need to find someone with a coup and trade front ends man. hatches only look good with flip ups.

as for the silencer just yank it out. it will be louder tho.

jerseyjon · 04-29-2010, 12:17 PM

BTW while we're on the subject, you guys have any suggestions on bumpers? I've been looking at the r32 style bumper and both the kouki usdm and jdm bumpers

There is absolutely not an entire 1000plus -post thread about exhausts, is there?
It has pictures, vids and discussion too, right?
