So I decided to swap out my standard rear muffler with something less restrictive just to add a little sound.
I’m getting a 2-1/4” offset - center ’redback’ sports muffler with a little dump tip.
It’s going on Friday so will post a link once installed. :)
-
That will make it sound better, you'll get a little boost bottom end too :goodjob2:
Is it a straight through or Tri-flow type ?
-
Straight through.
Yeah just hoping for a little sound. Nothing major
-
You'll get a nice little hum from it, I first started with a straight through muffler change and the sound was good, no droning :goodjob2:
-
There is a flange just on the front side of the rear axle/suspension so I will hopefully get them to joint the new muffle up to that and I will keep the only one that way if I don’t like if I can just unbolt one and put the other back on.
-
So i got the exhaust installed today. Its got a little more bark to it than i thought i would get. Don't think the wife will be to happy when she hears it as she didn't know i was getting it done.
As earlier mentioned i got a 2-1/4" pipe from the rear flange back with a 'Redback' universal muffler and a little dump tip.
Have only drove it the 2km home so not sure if there will be any difference in low rpm torque, but i got it mainly for a little bit of sound.

:goodjob2: :goodjob:
-
That will fix any tyre noise :goodjob2:
-
Sounds good :goodjob2: is that where the original muffler was also placed? on mine it's before the rear axle where they wedged a 14" Mercury Tri-Flow.
-
Yeah after the cat I have a stock resonater which went to a flange joint just before the rear axle which then had the chunky rear muffler.
I got the new pipe from the flange back so at any time I can swap back to the standard as it’s just the two bolts at the flange joint and two mounts
-
hope you dont mind me asking but how much did that setup set you back and how long did the shop have it for?

I had something similar done to mine in the beginning, if the exhaust fitter is honest it should be roughly $130-$150 in mild steel, about $180 in stainless and no more than an hours job.
Your PD has a different setup though so can’t really compare to the GD, whether a sports version of your current muffler is possible :undecided:
That would be the easiest for direct replacement.

Obviously it was included with the car, but Hyundai only got the parts to do it this week...... :whistler:
