Lonely no more... UPDATE: Now with pics!!!

[R3N]

Just dropped off my car to get my muffler fitted, damn am I excited... but its so lonely, I'll only be getting it back tmrw arvo. Which is good cos I have a test tmrw and have to stay in all night to study... It'll all be done in time for our OpelAus cruise in Perth :) I'll get piccies up soon after


UPDATE: Got car back today, test went awesome (88%) :D, install was awesome too. Credit to the guys at Perth Exhaust Centre, they made it to fit using a bolt-on so can be easily removed myself whenever.

Muffler sounds awesome, just did a replacement muffler... no cat-back pipe...yet. Has a nice grumbling sound on idle which is easy on the ears, but once I floor it :twisted: well... you get the idea

You dropped it off today and will get it back tomorrow afternoon? And all they're doing is changing the muffler? :shock:

[Mitch]

Oh and What kind of muffler is it?

[R3N]

I was supposed to drop it in on Friday morning and pick it up around lunch time, but I have class tomorrow so I said I'd leave it in the workshop overnight

Its a Sebring Twin tip muffler with 2" inlet and 2 x 3" square tip outlets

[R3N]

I have a question about the cat-back piping, does it have to be custom or is it pretty much standard?

[PerthSXi]

nice system. im gettin mine done in 2 weeks. cant wait. how much did it cost ya all up?

[R3N]

around 500 just for the muffler :oops:

Does anyone know what diameter the standard cat-back pipe is?

[OzzySRi]

nice muffler mate. really like the tips. sebring is quality stuff too :)

as for piping, if its 1.8 it should be 2" i think

[sunny]

i got something similar should i install it myself or go to an exhaust place?

btw nice muffler :mrgreen:

[R3N]

sunny: if it's just a bolt-on and requires no welding, go for it yourself, I think you need some sort of a seal though

If the standard piping is already 2", what would the difference be with an after-market 2" one?

[Mitch]

That looks alright.

[krayzastra]

Look phat, bro. Nice stuff.

[YuSuF]

That's cool Ren Nice job!

yep you'll need a flange gasket, all you have to do is undo two nuts and unhook two rubber bands, put the other one in place a do it up, shouldn't take longer than 30 mins.

any one here can do it i will pay them accordingly

good choice of muffler Sebring is reputable!! thank god you didn't get a japanese style muffler on a euro car

[EGG80X]

hmmm Sebring, yummie!
very nice!! i luv twins on a euro car
Looks hot

yeah fart cannons only belong to Jap car...... oops i got :oops:

[R3N]

well, what can i say... i love the euro look

[YuSuF]

Ive seen many Rexxies with the same do, looks like some incorating the Euro look aswell

cat-back is small, i think it is 1.75" - likewise with the 2.2L....... Actually, i lie, cat back is 2" on the 1.8 i think and 2.25 on the 2.2L - again - i think...
From there it hits the "main" muffler...... and comes out small... so you have to really get the centre muffler removed and just get a pipe straight through...

I've found out that the piping is 2" from the cat-back for the 1.8

Removing the centre resonator, my main concern is sound... would it be too loud without a resonator?

[wishbone]

no.. the resonator is huge aye :P
hehe
nah.. mine is at 90db with the resonator removed cat back

[R3N]

Is that with a canon type muffler or box type muffler (am I making sense)?

The resonator is H-U-G-E :p

I'll see how it goes, might take it off further down the track

[NUTTTR]

I'm pretty sure it's 1.75", the 2.2 wouldn't have smaller piping than the 1.8..... from the main resonator, it is 1.75 to the rear, but 2" in
