Belanger pickle = good for N/A engine

Belanger pickle = bad for blown engine

There are so many variables here. Conditions change weather this thing is needed or not. Like Dave said. They are great for a stock engine. You should also ask if they are so good why do we not see more of them? I guess we put headers on for more power. Either way, I’m blown and my engine works better without it. Jury is still out on this one.

eucharistos & Roffle,
why not use the best of both worlds?
Dynomax® Performance Exhaust | Mufflers | Ultra Flo™ X Mufflers

You must be registered for see images

thats the one I originally wanted to order, but got the better flowing one. Now I changed my mind, so I ordered this Flo-x + I'll add the venturi's before it.

I'll make a clip of the muffler I have now and try to sell it

update: the exhaust venturi doesn't do ****, and the ultra-flo x muffler is way too big to fit

 

[plumcrazy]

no **** on the venturi...lol

if you are taking out the OE muffler out back,m you "should" have the room, got any pics ?

 

[Roffle Waffle]

I'll take pics later. the ultraflow-x muffler is 25" long, so you'd have to do a lot of fancy welding and bending to get the pipes to fit, AND they'll almost be touching the diff. not worth it.

right now I have an ultraflo welded muffler there, and it sounds great from the outside. just a little too much resonance in the cabin. I made a half-assed video I'm gonna put up. I'll take pics too, it looks stock from the back (using stock tips)

 

[Dom426h]

I suggest you replace the no-cat straightpipe with a straight-thru muffler. Something like this:
Dynatech 76-014252
or
MagnaFlow 10426 - MagnaFlow Performance Mufflers - Overview - SummitRacing.com

+1 ........

I suggest doing this yourself with bandclamps to test it out so you dont have to waste more $ at the exhaust shop. pm me if you would like any more details or help.
How are your catless straightpipes fixed?
That ***** the muffler didnt fit

here's a poor video of what it sounds like now.

I tried straight through mufflers before on other cars, and they did absolutely nothing in terms of reducing drone. I also don't want to restrict the exhaust much more. I'm going to try quieting the car more in the interior

(and I have like 3 sets of extra band clamps from all this trial and error)

Why would you restrict the exhaust at all? Just buy the Corsa and be done with it. It's the only one that works to eliminate drone AND does not have that perforated mesh. If cash is the issue, then put the stock exhaust back on, and just spend your cash on a metal matrix high flow cat. It'll sound way better than what you have and it will look good. Go on the Corsa website and listen to the exhaust clip.

ooops!

I'll get a corsa eventually. I have other priorities right now.
