Recommend me a muffler

Post by siren676 » Sat Feb 16, 2013 8:37 pm

I recently had my cat converter replaced with a small resonator, it made the car a little louder but i would prefer it a bit more.
Any recommendations on either a catback system or a muffler to replace the rear one?

sadly I can't make any recommendations, but how much did the resonator set you back?

I would recomend you visit Karl at Takapuna mufflers. He will put various silencer, cobys etc on for you to listen too before he welds them up.

Good guy, good company.

Depending on how much you want to spend, the Top Speed Pro 1 catback has a pretty nice sound to it.

I got quoted $623 NZD to have one sent to my door.

I used a standard V8 Commodore muffler for the back of mine.
Its a free flowing design and does the job well. I'm very happy with the sound.
