I have both systems. The one on the car now is the 1.7/1.8 stainless exchangers and a I think it's a bursch muffler with a glass pack. It has a nice sound but it's so loud I can't really even carry a conversation on in the car. I also have a set of stainless heat exchangers for a 2.0l and a stock bannana muffler. I am tempted to put that system on to quite the car down a bit.
What would everyone suggest? Am I going to loose or gain any power with the 2.0L setup? -Rob |

If you have the glass pack type, and its removable..you cn put several cheap mufflers on there to deapen the tone...
Go to the local FLAPS and try out the flowmaster (or equivelent) oval muffler , typiucally like 20-30 bucks...its for an eight cylinder, so does not restrict the flow, but tones it down nicely... I had the red cherrybomb on a car,,,replaced it with the flowmaster equivelant...much nicer tone, less likey to attract a cop, but will open up when needed. If you have the flange on the collector (mine is a welded bursch) then get the muffler and the raw flange (I got the flange at a midas shop..bring a drawing..they have alots of them...or meineke) you could either weld it on yourself, get meineke to weld it on for you, or I would be happy to do it. Just an alternative to removing the heat exchangers...not a fun job.. When you are all done, you will have two different mufflers to use. Rich |
