well i just ordered 2 apexi n1 style mufflers for my stock 1987 t2. i am runnin all 2 1/2 inch piping with a hollowed out first cat and a high flow second cat. i really hope it will sound good. it was just so quite before. does anyone know if this will sound good? i really hope it doesnt sound like a piece of ****. thanks for the help

 

anyone?

 

with the 2 N1 you should be pretty good, might be a lil loud, high flow cat = hollow cat = loud Oo.

and 2 1/2 inch pipin, isn't that stock ???

yeah, it is the stock size but its new.

 

It will likely be a bit loud.. if its too loud for you, just weld in a resonator on each pipe before the mufflers. You can use Dynomax bullet race mufflers as resonators (not sure how much more quiet that'd be) or Moroso spiralflows, or Magnaflow makes stainless true resonators that should last a while but again, its hard to say how quiet it will make it.

 

from my experience.. since u are running 2 mufflers.. and doing only 2 1/2 inch piping .. it shouldnt be that loud specially since ur turbo.. im running 3 inch downpipe 3 inch single exhaust and no cats or resonators.. apexi n1 single muffler and its not that loud.. its a little loud than normal

 

the volume of the exhaust is not what i am worried about, i just want it to sound good, not a piece of **** that sounds like it needs a muffler or somethin like that. thanks for all of ur replies, i appreciate it.

 

yeah don't do it like i did.....

have this 3" exhaust and 4" tip, on my GXL, mad loud without the silencer, lost the silencer between my house and a buddys house somewhere, OO backfire rules YaY

 

lol

 

i dont know why people are worrying about the noise. the turbo itself acts like a huge muffler anyway.



dont quote me on this, but if it's an expensive exhaust, it should have a nice tone and a nice sound level. the only thing that might make it sould crappy is the hollow cat.



you should go with bigger exhaust tubing size. i was running 2 1/2 " piping and upgraded to 3" racing beat full exhaust. my boost increased 3 psi mid range, and creeps up to 10 psi WOT near redline.



go with a thunderfad 3" downpipe-midpipe combo, or whatever brand it is. that'll give you lots more power and great sound...
