Just take your car to a muffler shop & tell them you want a performance "non-ricerocket" muffler installed.

 

Dynomax or Magnaflow

 

Flomaster, borla - on the pricey side or flowpath and some Mac mufflers on the cheaper side...all 4 sound pretty good...supertraps can sound good also though I don't know about prices on them. I would say all would be between $40-$100 for a single muffler...borlas bringing the higher prices. I had a Walker/Dynomax turbo muffler on my V6 1992 Camaro and it sounded fairly deep for a 6cyl and it was like $30 something for it...I would recomend it as it pleased my ears and never rusted on me in the 3+ years I had the car.

 

APC all the way!!!
lol...only kidding....who needs an exhaust?

 

Magnaflow, it's straight flow-through design has no baffles like a flowmaster does. no ricey sounds!

 

APEXI 3" turbo muffler like i have looks awsome sounds deep not ricey at all ! i will post pictures tomorow hopefully video and sounds also...

Hear is the link to the muffler i have at least u know your getting true JDM quality not some POS american made stuff..http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/APEXI...spagenameZWDVW

 

I wouldnt bother with that, especially not for $250! At $60 I paid 1/4 of that for my "POS american made" Dynomax muffler that will flow a lot better with its straight through design.

 

I tossed a Borla on my Z and it sounds great! $99 shipped from an ebay store

 

my personal favorite (on my car) 3" turbo back straight into a 3" dynamax muffler

 

Check out this on ebay:
Dynomax Exhaust

Looks pretty legit and a good price.


I dont even have a muffler or cat on my exhaust, just straight through. I think it sounds better that way...the turbo keeps it quiet. I think you should try it out..

 

I have to say i love his exhuast as well. Sounds tasty.

 

I am making my own mufler out of a fire extinguisher.

 

Now that's not redneck-ish at all!

 

I like the spintech, my bro had it on his focus sounded v8ish.

 

I can see how that would be very miss-leading to the average on-looker.... since they made a lot of Focus' (Or is the plurral "Foci" ?) w/ V8's....

 

Ignorance is bliss Atleast until you're either stuck with a cheap ebay knock off of the real thing or a very deep hole in your wallet

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Dont buy new car parts off of ebay. If you cant find the exact part for cheaper somewhere else then it's either probably NOT the part you think it is (or atleast not made by who you think it is) or you're just out to find the cheapest part possible. Plenty of internet stores will sell you stuff cheaper then ebay and sometimes even throw in free shipping

In your case Nismo619, if you payed that much + shipping then you payed too much buddy Try shopping around before you buy off of ebay next time. Took me all of 2 minutes to find one for $225 shipped and that was at only one online retailer. I didnt even try shopping around for a cheaper price. Plus you get the peace of mind that you're getting the real deal and dont have to worry about it being a knock off.

 

^^^What^^^

 

I'm not sure if any were produced that way but I KNOW that kits were made for dropping a V8 into a focus:

Sorry.... my sarcasm wasn't very obvious in that post. I just thought it was funny that you said a tiny lil 4cyl car sounds like a V8...

 

Ick! Hit the brakes too hard & you'll do a nose dive "stoppie" right into the pavement. I'd take a Ford Sierra tho.

 

What I think is funny is if you wanted a V8 RWD car then why the hell would you buy a Focus in the first place I got mine for economy and the fact that it will hold me, my wife, and my son. My wife has to stay at home when we take the Z

 

A don't ask me, my bro's 67 cougar broke down warped a head, so he bought the fastest cheapest, car he could find, And he was going to do the 4.6 swap. Don't hate now

 

AAAHAHAHA at route 66 here in IL i was at battle of the imports 2 years ago and this full race CRX (ran in the 9's) launched it on go went first.....second...first and just stood up on its front tires....OMG IT WAS AMAZING.....the thing didnt break either..the *** end was 7 feet in the air.....that is one sticky *** track..a full race civic (also in the 9's and 8's) blew both of its axles on a launch the track is so damn sticky..he ran the next day so thats how i know his times...
