Kingman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 i don't know much about them that's why i was wonderin what would sound best on a pathfinder For SOUND I'd go with a dynomax muffler, or a pair of glasspacks. The flowmaster sounds tinny to be. Magnaflow sounds good as well. For performance, glasspacks are the best, or equivalent. No backpressure. Edelbrock old style mufflers (don't make them anymore, have to find them on Ebay or whatever) are the best muffler, period. No backpressure, amazing sound, and don't blow or burn out.

Kingman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 thanks i found some videos and i like the edelbrock. now i just have to find one Edelbrock makes a muffler now, but it's totally different. The one I'm talking about hasn't been made in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nytrosfinder Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Go to advance auto parts... they got everything you need to do a full custom exhaust there....except the welders and the people to do it for ya.... my plan is from my headers back, get a catalytic converter from a junk yard, shorten the pipes on it to make it just a cat, then convert to 2.5" pipe, and straight pipe it to a thrust turbo muffler, then a down pipe.... hidden exhaust..... Just gotta make a spot for the O2 sensors, then make sure i still got my spark arresters... I was gonna go 3" but I cant find an exhaust pipe adapter to go from 1.75"-3" and sorry I ment Thrush exhaust http://www.thrushexhaust.com/products.html I am going with the turbo..... And at advance auto parts its $23 for the muffler at my local one....28273 And the thrush mufflers are all reversible for 2 sounds in one! Dont like whats coming out of one end, turn it around and you got something different....freaken awesome!

Kingman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 3" is too big. Maximum performance is I think a 2.5" exhaust. That's what I've been hearing. There's quite a few threads on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 not enough back pressure or something? I think. And it has to do with the circulation of hot air through the pipes, and how the engine can't push air through that big of a pipe effectively. Like blowing really hard into a small straw, then bigger, bigger, then so big you get nothing. There's a happy medium, and I think it's 2.25-2.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytrosfinder Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) No Cats and a flowmaster: just a cat or "straight pipes" that last one is funny at the very end and in the middle.... girl doesnt know which one is the gas pedal... lol Edited March 13, 2009 by Nytrosfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 All I have is a MagnaFlow hi-flow cat and no muffler, that's it. I love the sound myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) I just tried, my camera is such a piece of sh!t that all it picked up was wind noise and if it got too loud it would make blotchy noises. Well I uploaded it anyways. Beware, there's only a few parts where you can actually hear it. It was too windy out. At the end I put it in drive so you could hear how it loped at idle, sounds like a V8 when it's fully warmed up and idling around 600 in drive. At the beginning you can hear my lifters clatter AND the sound is way ahead.

nismothunder Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Go with a glass pack...they have a nice deep sound and idle you get a little bit of batting noise like a 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemedoughboy.com Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 i just put a thrush welded series 2.5" on my '87. no cat 2.5" from the y-pipe flange back. real deep throaty sound. makes you want to cream in your pants. theyre only $32.95 at summit racing. they are almost identical to a flowmaster in appearance and design.
