Hey guys,

I am having a bit of trouble finding really flat mufflers for my AE86 hatch.

I am gonna customize the exhaust with 2.25 inch pipes and I am having trouble finding a muffler that is flat with 2.25 inch inlet and outlet. I do not care how wide it is, but it needs to be as small as possible in height.

I have been on Jegs and JC Whitney, and because I have dialup (FTMFL) I just cant get through searching fast enough. What I have seen so far do not show actual dimensions.

I'm almost to the point that I will have to drive to local stores and ask for what they got, but I am not able to find the time to do so yet.

Has anyone seen any good flat mufflers around and are there any recommendations of certain brands or anything? I'm looking for the least restrictive and not TOO loud to cause cop concerns.

This is my first exhaust project so I dont really know much about whats out there.

Thanks!

 

Put a race bullet in it... Not much larger than the diameter of inlet/outlet.


Edit: Something like this.

Wow that is really cool... and fast responding! Thanks!

I like their return policy, haha.

I'd like to see other options while I have time to try for more research.

I have to make sure its great for my DD and that it can pass inspection with no problems.

The less ricer sounding, the better.

 

I have never put one of these on a 4cyl... So I honestly can't tell you how it will sound... But I am guessing with 2.25 piping it will be loud. Will the motor be NA or FI?

 

It's a supercharged motor. I probably shoulda mentioned that earlier, haha.

I just dont wanna sound like a crotch rocket...

 

flowmaster used to make really thin mufflers. i dont no if they still do but those would problly work best. as far as race bullets, there loud as hell on 4 cyl...

 

i agree

 

What about headers? I was thinking of OBX since it seems popular and I guess they are good. TRD was my other option but I think they are wayy overpriced.

What's a good header? 4-1 or 4-2-1?

 

Thats very pointless... Thanks.

 

4-2-1 is something that a lot of elantra owners are running. i dont know the actually physics behind it, but my thought process is that 2 paths to flow down into one is better, similar to a dual exhaust... but then again, i dont know much about the science behind header performance
