Has anyone ever put a fart can or glasspack on their ti? If anyone is wondering, I am looking for the loud raspy ricer civic sound (gimme a break, I'm only 17  ) I don't have much money so I am looking for something under $100 and I am deathly afraid on eBay. |  |  | | 09-21-2007, 04:18 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Boston, MA Posts: 1,152 |
Please keep your ti's exhaust deep and throaty. Go to a local muffler shop and buy one of their generic muffler or try the Magnaflow brand. Lots of bimmer people has used Magnaflow with success. Check on youtube for some videos! | | | | | 09-21-2007, 04:51 PM | #3 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: The Woodlands, TX Posts: 68 |

Nice sound for not so much money. __________________

Magnaflow mufflers are relatively inexpensive and sound as good if not better than most expensive catback systems ie; supersprint, stromung, remus. I was looking at this muffler, but I'm not too concerned because I might be doing a swap soon: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=017 __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 09-21-2007, 05:11 PM | #5 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: The Woodlands, TX Posts: 68 |

Basically the same thing except straight cut instead of angle.  __________________

Ok, thanks for the advice. | | | | | 09-24-2007, 01:57 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
Another question. Has anyone removed their cat and either straight piped it or replaced it with a glasspack? I want to make my exhaust louder and more throaty and I was wondering if this made a difference. | | | | | 09-27-2007, 01:36 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

yeah thanks for getting me all excited when I saw there was a new post just to destroy my hopes by just saying lol | | | | | 10-01-2007, 03:23 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |
sure several/many have straight piped their exhausts. You will get a fault code and CEL and it will be insanely loud not to mention pollute your Green State. Still wanna do it? Just get your muffler and see if you can only be semi obnoxious instead of full on embarrasing.
Sorry to come out swinging on this one but to me it is clear folly. __________________

my car is OBD I so does anyone know if it will still throw the fault code? | | | | | 10-01-2007, 04:42 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 |
Why don't you just cut the exhaust piping right after the O2 sensor? It will be really cheap, and plenty obnoxious. As you are not concerned about keeping the car legal or sounding less than obnoxious just get rid of the exhaust/cat completely. | | | | | 10-02-2007, 12:32 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |

and think this whole muffler thing out...there are good cheap alternatives out there.
good luck. __________________
