madkow007 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnlyfnd Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 just use a cheap one, no sense in putting $$ into a muffler on a non-performance 17yr old car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamal Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 , 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. 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.

Kilroy Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The JDM motors typically have 30,000 to 60,000 miles on them. Still, $1200 is a steal if it is installed with warranty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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...

ericem Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyfreak Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 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!

heartless Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virrdog Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Glasspacks are by no means excessively loud with a completely stock exhaust system in front of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
