TheNewbie Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 Well.. recently on my Mitsubishi Eclipse I decided it would be a "cool" idea to take off my muffler. So I cut the muffler off, and left some pipe before the Cat. I'm starting to get really annoyed with the sound honestly, it's horrible, I can hear the air flutter, not to metion it seems to have killed my gas milage. My question is, is it possible to get a throaty sound from my Eclipse? It's a 4 Cyl.. 2.0 non turbo DOCHE 16 Valve motor. I don't know much at all in the exhaust or mechanics catagory. Any input is great. This is the sound Im looking for. Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.
Miguels Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) a 4 banger is never going to sound like a v8 or even a 6 cylinder yours will sound like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sceBTjlvwno Edited June 14, 2012 by Miguels Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
TheNewbie Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Posted June 14, 2012 Yeah.. Was afraid of that. Damn well I could live with that sound I suppose. Sounds like that now honestly. But web I drive it as its at 4-6 Rpms sounds completely dif, it's literally a single tone till it shifts eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee shift. Just kills me. If I put a muffler on now, without putting the piping back on it it will still pass smog correct? Since there would be a cat, and muffler?

hdorre Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 Us N/A 3000GT and Stealth guys use Dynomax and Magnaflow single in/dual out mufflers. From there, we run straight pipes to each side of the car for the tips. Then again, we have V6s.

Pro7 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 I have a friend with a Saturn ion i4 that sounds pretty decent for what it is. I'll ask him what he used and get back to ya hopefully this afternoon Quote I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before
