[bennjamin]

a larger-than-stock muffler amplifies the sounds emitted from the car....think about that before u buy a huge cannon for ur auto :P

there are NO gains on any muffler really - so jsut get whatever one you want / looks best - and weld it up.

Don't waste your money. A sports exhaust with auto sounds like shite unless you're thrashing the car off the lights. When cruising at low revs it always sounds like a fart. If you want a nice noise just install a pod filter.

[destrukshn]

muffler on auto sounds like a wet fart. lol

And don't drive in an underground carpark. It sounds worse !!!

fanx for the info? but wat ur suggestion? like ish there another muffler i can look for instead having a fart sound~ :confused:

btw after the july 11.. can i still installed the pod filter? coz as u noes im still on my L plate :o wud dat still count as engine modz?

[mugeneration]

depends on what kinda cop pulls you over! lol some might say that it is, but then you could argue (id say unsucsessfully) that you are just trying to improve fuel efficiency and had no idea it improved performance of the engine (even though it is ever so slightly). Doubt theyd agree though. If you're that worried about it just install a k&n panel filter in your airbox as it is. It'll do the same thing as the pod, theres only a slight difference between the sound and gain from the two coz glis arent exactly a powerhouse, i should know i drive one! lol

huh? isnt 1 call air filter pod? wat the diff to panel filter? or r they r the same..

[mugeneration]

a pod filter is the circular type filter you see people replace their airbox with entirely. They do this because it can breathe better than the airbox as it's (shall we say, vented area) has more surface area than a flat panel filter (which is found inside your airobx). With low hp cars, wether or not you use a panel or pod filter doesnt really matter that much, only your brand choice. I choose K&N filters because they breathe really well, but others use brands such as blitz, i dont know about their performance as i dont have one. On my car I have a K&N pod filter, it cost about 150 to buy all the parts, which i fitted myself. An alternative to this is buying a panel filter to replace your factory panel filter inside your airbox. This is not only cheaper, but also more 'legal' lol. Because the civic gli is low hp, wether you choose to use a pod or panel filter wont affect it greatly.

:thumbsup: great info.. well den i go n buy the pod filter den.. hmm last question ~ how abt the
AIR FILTER PIPE ? do they really go with the air filter? or ish realli doent matter~

[mugeneration]

depends on how your engine is set up. The main problem with putting a pod filter on is that the air sensor etc have to be connected to it. On mine they were all connected to a rubber segment which lead to the airbox, so when i removed the airbox all i had to do was put a small piece of piping on the end to attach the pod to. Im having trouble attaching images at the moment, but if you look in my pictures in my profile thingy ill post it up in there to show you what ive done. If your electrics are in your airbox or somewhere else that is being replaced then you need to get the intake piping along with the pod filter.

Shit son, save your money and buy some English lessons :confused:

oh yeah i live around there.. hmm 200 installed? u mean 200$ with cannon n installation :rolleyes:

[mj3610]

$200? thats pretty good, do they all come with silensors? cause liverpool exhaust has the hurricane ones for $320 installed and they say "our quality of work cannot be compared to anyone else"

[Cvik_ryda]

i had an auto with cannon on before for just over a year until now!!! it get on your nerve after a while, a lot of noise for a lil power. Yeah like the other guy said before get an intake pod and pipe sound more beefy and not annoying. I have to go back to a wrecker and bought a stock muffler but its your car and i know u gonna like it until a year later lol.....cheers

is it me or did this guy just improve his english :p heheee

[_CiVIC_]

btw i got my cannon from autobarn in greenvalley for $100 and then had livo exhaust install it for $70.. that is before i went the full exhaust system. :)

really? i go past autobarn gv everyday goin to uni. man liv exhaust are rip offs. did you get the whole muffler for $100 or just the tip or something? thx for the info really helps.

[mj3610]

hey _civic_ have you had any probs with ur muffler? cause i called liv exhaust and they said the AAAor 3A racing brand from autobarn is s*** and after a while something inside them melts and u get like rattling noises from it, is this true to ur experience? thanx

i know 2 guys that work there, one by the name of James and another by the name of John. They both look after me when i go there. $100 was for the Autotechnica cannon muffler and tip. Then i went to livo exhaust and they welded it on for me. I haven't had any problems with it even after getting the full exhaust system done :)

[berniebern]

, i know someone that has a 4" cannon on a auto magna and sounds alright

Magna = V6 so it's going to sound a lot deeper. Many skylines are auto and they sound brilliant.

[[T][L]]

hey man
i have ED civic and its auto and i just got my muffler fitted today at windsor exhaust for $65...and it sounds nice..so i reckon u should get it..

[blu3illusion84]

yeah that what i fought.. then i just realize having a intake pod can be defected.. or esle i might have to get the panel filter instead to replace the stock one..LEGAL!! :D

[blu3illusion84]

is it me or did this guy just improve his english :p heheee

hey there yeh im trying to improve my english a little.. coz my engz is sux! :o

[blu3illusion84]

[L]']hey man
i have ED civic and its auto and i just got my muffler fitted today at windsor exhaust for $65...and it sounds nice..so i reckon u should get it..

hold on there.. isnt exhaust is the same thing as muffler..? now im getting mysef confused :confused:

[blu3illusion84]

so far i got all the list of mufflers and price in this thread..

Autoteachnica = $100
Bankstown Muffler or Sefton = $200?
Windor Exhaust? = $65
xforce twin loop = $190
livo exhaust = $320
Carmate = RIP OFF!! (450$)

hmm... :rolleyes:

[mj3610]

[L]']hey man

ur cars a carby right? my breeze is carby too and i got told by some friends if u get a muffler it'll pop alot. can the engine be tuned so that the exhaust/muffler doesnt pop?

[izzy]

sefton and bankstown weld it for you, complete installation, ifu just buy muffler you gotta takeit to someplace to install

[[T][L]]

ur cars a carby right? my breeze is carby too and i got told by some friends if u get a muffler it'll pop alot. can the engine be tuned so that the exhaust/muffler doesnt pop?

yeah it pops alot.....

[Andi]

Are you sure the one you're getting from car mate is just muffler or actual catback? I think the guy who went to windsor exhaust meant that he bought his own muffler and got them to fit it for $65.

[mj3610]

hmm yeah thats what i thought cause no way u can get a muffler + installation for $65. im going liverpool exhaust tomorrow to get a sports muffler (sports box) or whateva they wanna call it down there , i've heard liv exhaust does a good job and its only $140 for the sports muffler with any tip.

[Uncouth]

Hi... Im driving a 92 D15b4. had the extractors and the whole exhaust piping changed with a 2.25 cannon. Its an auto though. and a K&N drop in panel filter. Auto is definitely not as fun but i have tried giving my friend's GLI and CXi a go.. happy to say, i managed to win them. :) But of course thats my limit already. SI eats me easily... THEREFORE... im saving up for a B18CR or B16 conversion.... hope that day will come soon. but for the time being, im getting my struts(whiteline) soon... And oh ya... the sound of the cannon aint that bad for me. its a superX replica from my friend shop. in fact i have some friends praising the sound.

[yourfather]
