FTO AUSTRALIA

I'm after nice sounding, about the same loudness exhaust for the fto. I'm running a 3.5" mandrel bend system, and want to know what you guys out there have found when upgrading the mufflers.

Prices and locations would be great too.

Cheers

let me get this right, you wanna run a 3.5" exhaust for an N/A FTO...??

as far as sounds go, you can't beat the 5zigen Fireball hehehe...

EDIT 3.5" = 2.5"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea go for 5zigen fireball

or if u done wanna spend much n dont care bout brand, den go for a firebally type muffler, which can be brought from autobarn, or rice shops..

i got one from cyber century n its mad

but of course it'll sound louder than the stock

I jsut ordered in a chypher muffler. It's the Chypher pro v2. It's specs say that it's the most quit muffler they stock ranging from low- to quite, which is what i'm after!!

Anyone got this on there car?

Also, how many resonators do you guys with upgraded exhausts run? Is it still 2.

Cheers

sigh.... i miss my 5Zigen Fireball.....

silly me, i really shouldn't have sold it!

I've used the Kakimoto before, & is the quietest i've ever used and heard!!

Mikey, for the right price, i sell u mine Apexi N1 cat back exhaust

even a 2.5 is too big. 2.25 is the way to go.

if you want quiet, just replace the existing rear muffler with something like a magnaflow muffler. They sound alright and arent too loud.

i would like to go 2.25, but with the turbo conversion underway, i'd have to build a new system from scratch!

Yeah mangaflow got good sounds & generally pretty quiet, but once u put few more mod on to it, it sound like any other exhaust, which r pretty loud!!

one way to fix loud exhausts is to fit additional resonator(s). although they can somewhat restrict airflow, the difference is only very marginal/negligable...

I refute that 2.5 is too big =)

You really should have at least one resonator in the setup . . . the exhaust note is just way too harsh =) (I was running a muffler only setup (deadening wise) for around 1 - 1.25 years.

Mmmm for meh 18th my brother n sis are getting me extractors and exhaust, n i was told the cat is in the middle of the exhaust and the extractors?

SO, if thats true than does that mean you should change the cat to say a hi-flow cat? or would using the normal cat still have the same effect?
Also, what does a high flow cat do??

BTW: sorry for hi-jacking the thread

i went magna flow, its got a more deep sound, and under load it sounds great, it also not loud which i like and doesnt reasonate at all.

each to their own i guess! but i reckon 2.5 is too big for a 2.0L engine!

2.5 is more suited to something 3.5 to 4.0 L.

*nods* I'm just worried about restriction at the higher end of the scope, I'm not really that fussed about losing a little low end.
