Yes, I agree thw stock muffler is ridiculous. But I am using this as a stop gap measure. But, since actually doing it, I have found the results very good!
I just might keep the modded muffler for awhile! |

I am cutting all the pipes inside and just connect the inlet to the outlet inside the muffler box with some straight pipes.
My friend is doing this project for me, hope this will be done soon. |

And yes, I am still running the header. I had my old muffler hanging around for ages with the intent of modified it. Your original post finally gave me the motivation to do it. Thanks!!! |

Ah crap no I didn't have time. Was only home for 2 days and am back out of town...
I didn't even start my Bimmer! Being a holiday weekend I went home to go away for the weekend! Lol. Happy belated Canada Day and Independence Day! |

I am surprised nobody has tried running a Supertrapp. Straight through and tunable(add discs makes louder). Stainless model runs about $100.

That vette is/was no joke (and would probably run awesome with water melons as mufflers) but that was in the 80's bud. Dare I say the 80's called and want their muffler (technology) back?

Ok, so I have a muffler and resonator assembly I bought through eBay. The question I have is, where do I cut the pipe between resonator and muffler? There aren't any circular sections, it's all flats and complex curves. Did you use a clamp or just weld the pipes back together when you reinstalled? Thanks!
I have an E91 I'm trying to avoid dropping the rear triangular subframe in...but otherwise stock exhaust (no headers). I think I'll try your second plan first, post a clip, and try the fully empty option second if needed... |

I cut mine about 4" forward of the muffler. As soon as it bends down there is a short straight section(on my e90) that is enough to use a coupler and 2 clamps.
Try to find an AA gen 1 exhaust DIY and cut in the same place(I had an AA before I reinstalled my oem muffler) My original pipe was about 1-1 1/2" longer than this install... it wasn't welded and was long enough to slip a joint over: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=749418 Quote:

This thread is about that, read the posts above.
But the operation is resume as such: Cut muffler from car Place on floor Take a grinder and open it up like a can of tuna Take same grinder and perform operation delete on anything in the muffler that you want. Once satisfied with operation delete weld back the muffler carcass Re weld to car Drive around for 1 hour before you realize you hate yourself for wasting a saturday Look on forums for OEM muffler Buy Oem Muffler Swap back on car Have beers and sex |

Nah is all good! Still have my original modded muffler on and it sounds great! Yes a little more volume would be nice..
I simply haven't had time to attempt the second muffler. I pretty much work all summer away from home and right now it looks like I'll be away most of the winter too! Not too sure why people trash muffler mods so much. People using ducting to increase airflow to brakes and home made CAI's don't seem to get the flack At the end of the day it is all about execution. I tend to do things properly, I enjoy tinkering and if it doesn't work out I usually dig in and make it work rather than scrapping it. Lol. Guess I am stubborn that way. |
