So who here has hacked up a muffler for their car? I have the strange desire to make something custom for my car, and toss the monza that's on it now. I remember seeing a couple posts fromma while ago about someone taking a banana-type (don't recall if it was Bursch or whatzitwas) but the guy cut 2 holes in it and welded on some tips from like Pep boys or something. He actually did a nice job of it too - looked like a 911 style.
I would like to try something similar, maybe like a boxter style (with the tips closer together)- I'll be bored this winter, and seein's how all the big projects are done, I'll have time to sit around and really ruin something up good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Anyone remember or have pics/links? Or recommendations? Laugh at me? Cheer me on? Send me cash? |

I'm in the process of trying something else.
I took a spare 1.7 muffler and cut the back half off of it. I looked at how small the holes in the baffle pipes were so I drilled them bigger and also added a few holes in the dividing baffles to release backpressure from the ends. I have now made a new back half out of SS and I am looking for a nice piece of 2" SS pipe to replace the 1 1/2" exhaust pipe. When I find that I am going to weld on an oval cadillac exhaust tip to exit in the stock position. Pictures to follow as I progress. Attached image(s) ![]() |
