Are there any good sites with how-to articles on making your own custom exhaust?
I have a pair of exhaust cans from a Ducati bike that I'd like to try on the car. But, don't have a clue as to how easy or difficult it is to make them fit.
It would be a fun project. Don't know what it would sound like nor how well it would work but, I'd like to try it.

Motorcycle exhaust is mad small.

I was actually wondering if anyone had tried using a sportbike can or even thought about it. It might be tight fitting some in there but anything can be done. I'd like to hear what it would sound like.
As for them being small and restrictive exhuasts on bikes, the Suzuki Hayabusa is 1.3L and it's putting out 170hp. I'm sure using it's dual cans would be just fine for the Aveo.
That is a little different. Each can is only being fed by 2 cly making it .65 liters.
True enough, but the shear flow the bike can put out at redline should be ample flow for the lowly Aveo providing you use both exhaust canisters from the bike. Off the top of my head, the 'Busa's redline must be atleast 12,000rpm probably more compared to the 6,500 of the car.
Very interesting. I say go ahead and try it!
I believe my cans have 54mm pipes feeding each can. The cans were from a Ducati 748 racing machine. It's a twin engine and puts out around a hundred hp, so they are huge. They won't restrict anymore than the stock Aveo exhaust (I would imagine).
It might be a fun project. It can't hurt to try anyway.
If you've ever looked at the stock Aveo muffler. It must weigh a ton. A pair of carbon fiber racing cans weighs nothing in comparison.
I'm wondering if I can buy pre-bent pipe sections? Cut and weld them for a patchwork custom fit. May be buy pre-made flanges? Don't know quite what to do as it is all new to me.
if you are going to do it, and buy the "cans" as you call it. buy the universal slip on version of whichever type you want and by size. saves you from making a flange, etc.
I wish I could do that. But, the cans are from my bike and all the Duc Superbikes have quite a bit of pipe ahead of the can itself. I also would have to figure out a way to go from the Aveo single pipe to the dual cans of the bike.
Beginning to sound too difficult to even try. But, on the other hand, I can be pretty stubborn too.
check how to section....
Guy i worked with had 2 duc cans through the roll pan on his s10, sounded sweet

If motorcycle and car mufflers were interchangable, don't you think that more people would be switching them out. If you do go with it, post up pictures of the damage done to your engine.... :lol: good luck bro....
they are interchangable its only pipe. you won't damage anything switching to motorcycle mufflers, unless you choose the wrong sizing. (ie way too small)
lots of people do it, its just a matter of what "culture" you are in. when most kids and "looks" people go for the big coffee can ricer tip. a motorcycle exhaust doesn't give you that. plus those can be had cheaper than bike mufflers.
performance people who have the money to spend typically buy a whole system, or spend the money on what works and is proven in the car industry. very few people drive cars with less than a 2.0 without a turbo looking for just bolt on mods for a car that doesn't have an after market,
My buddy has a 1.8L VW Golf with a snowmobile muffler on it right now. He's been running it that way for about a year and it runs just fine. I believe it came off a Polaris 800cc RMK. Sounds wicked!
i am going to bump this thread, because i put a hayabusa muffler on my car yesterday
:shock:
:)
did you really, how does it sound?Quote:

i will post a video or something once someone comes over who can record it.
haha, I would love to hear that sound
Haha, is ther nothing aveo owners won't do. That's ok, my buddy's got a snowmobile muffler on his MK3 Golf lol.
we aveo owners must explore into the unknown, on cardomain, there are 31,325 civics and 14,533 accords and there is 365 aveos
thats 1 aveo per 125.6383562..... honda ricers, so we are orginal and unique 8)
btw, there are only 200 something fits so suck on that aveo wannabes :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I wonder how that would sound, he got a video on youtube? How big can a snowmobile muffler be lol
It's about 4.5 Inches round and 10 inches long with a 2" input and 1" output. It sounds like **** lol, what would you think?
go to www.autospeed.com and search for exhaust articles there. They have some very good write ups regarding exhaust setups.
lol that must be funny as hellQuote:

yeah should be pretty cool when its done
Goast did his out one side and it sounds dope, but I want the sound to be even...it might not be as lound though...maybe I should just do one side? Idk
yeah I seen it and I hate it myself, I dont know why but I do
I love it, it sounds sexy.
How about a muffler out of the front :lol:
If I ever do a new exhaust it's going to be out of the driver side right in front of the rear tire, with a side angle. I want a nice quiet high flow too, that's all I need is to see red and blue lights flashing behind me... :lol:
That's the way goast has his, I'm doing mine the same except out both sides so I got duals.
mine is loud and the cops like it, now cops dont like fartcannon civics
Are they real cops?Quote:

didn't i just say that in another thread?
You inspired me to pry myself away from the xbox long enough to hear it for myself. Instead of jacking that thread further I put my post where it belongs. :lol: :lol:
sooooo will a nice Yoshi slip on really work for our cars?
i have a hayabusa muffler on mine.
got pics?Quote:
