Default Excuse my over-simplification

Sorry, but I'm not really into most of the "fashion statement" mufflers with all the burnt tips, oversized end caps, overpriced materials etc. I just fabbed up this simple dual muffler set up that is all thin wall stainless and only weighs about 8 lbs!

Flame-on...

What does it sound like? Any drone? Sound clips?

Looks good!

interesting.....how does it sound?

I was in the same boat and fabbed up my own exhaust as well and put on the stock tips.

did you cover up the part where the tips normally come out on the rear bumper or are they still open?

I think I would personally split into a dual after the dual resonator, into 2 small mufflers with outputs before the bumper so it's hidden.

I like the idea and I'd like to hear how it sounds!

Loud exhaust is loud.


What size are those resonators?

I just finished it up today, so no sound clips yet. It's certainly not quiet and has a bit of resonance in certain situations (mostly high load, low RPM), but I don't have anything to compare to. The sound at high RPM is not as loud as I thought and REALLY sounds good. The first muffler is 3.5" OD, 2.5" core and about 10" long. The second one is 4.5" OD, 2.5 core and about 12" long.

I'd only be worried about the cabin rattle/resonance as someone else said. Props for the DIY
