May 2, 200718 yr Hi all Time to replace the muffler on a 90 Legacy 2.2 What kind of muffler can I get away with using? Cheap one? Stock one? What is every one else using?
May 2, 200718 yr just use a cheap one, no sense in putting $$ into a muffler on a non-performance 17yr old car
May 2, 200718 yr I always do them myself, and i get Walker parts. Go the neighboorhood autoparts store, you may be pleasantly surprised on price. Don't listen to fnlyfnd, as he speaks blasphamy (heheheh). nipper
May 2, 200718 yr don;t get any muffler i did that, now i have a car that i spent $10,000 on to restore it to stock(still not done, but oh well) and the muffler makes the car sound like a ************ box, and its loud. I got to get a video.
May 2, 200718 yr , now i have a car that i spent $10,000 on to restore it to stock Are you ************ing kidding? Christ if I wanted to put ten grand into my car it would have a full STi driveline/dash swap and about 400hp.
May 2, 200718 yr Are you ************ing kidding? Christ if I wanted to put ten grand into my car it would have a full STi driveline/dash swap and about 400hp. thats what happens when you get screwed badly, and that's what i realized countless times that i could have updated my drivetrain, i still have original everything and managed to spend $10,000:mad: I still have original struts except the front ones, i got screwed really badly for the front ones, spent $1000 on two front ************TY rump roast struts, with original top hate bushings, and spring. Stupid a'holes. then another $3000 and they guy installs all used parts and today still doesn't work perfectly, engine is original never had any work, just timing belts. What really hurt was when i called a japan auto parts store and they told me they could get me a 2.2l with tranny for $1200 installed with 3 month unlimited warrenty and they have less than 30,000km.
May 3, 200718 yr The JDM motors typically have 30,000 to 60,000 miles on them. Still, $1200 is a steal if it is installed with warranty!

YIKES!!! I think I would have took that $10,000 and picked up about 20 parts cars and went from there. Cheap whatever I can make fit muffler it is.
May 3, 200718 yr YIKES!!! I think I would have took that $10,000 and picked up about 20 parts cars and went from there. Cheap whatever I can make fit muffler it is. I'd find someone who's parting out a STI or something and grab the catback. They can be had for like 50 bucks...
May 3, 200718 yr Want to laugh im now ordering $700 in suspension parts, OEM springs, 18mm rear sway bar, and gr2's, with all the bushings. And im looking for a muffler in the junkyard that doesn't sound like a piece of, and a shock for my trunk one of the shocks blew.
May 5, 200718 yr If you want some sound just use a cherrybomb if not use a turbo by the same brand. I was surprised with the nice music the cherrybomb makes. It is not too loud if you still have your cats on. $20.00 is about as cheap as you will get for each. Let everyone hear that you don't drive a Honduh!

Yes hondas dont have muffler bearings (hehehehe) nipper
May 6, 200718 yr Yes hondas dont have muffler bearings (hehehehe) nipper ROFLMAO two of our GL's have the basic Cherry Bombs on them - i personally like the sound, but thats me i guess. He was wanting something a little quieter on the Legacy - especially for those longer trips.
May 8, 200718 yr Glasspacks are by no means excessively loud with a completely stock exhaust system in front of it.
May 9, 200718 yr i've got a cherrybomb turboII, sounds great, not excessively loud but u do get to hear to song of the boxer engine nice and clear. oh and this is on a 84'gl, with 2" exhaust from cat->back.
