its a good thing i checked though, because now with the cold air intake, the added exhaust flow is kind of melting the bumper at the edge of the cut.. uh oh..
Just put a chrome turn-down tip on it, that should help.
i am going to have to put something there. after the initial cut, i didn't have this trouble before the CAI.
:lol:
I want a performance muffler that wont cost me over $50, doesn't look rice, and is as quiet as stock if not a little louder, but not much. Anyway I can get a sound clip from anyone that has put a performance muffler on and not taken or moded any other part of the original exhaust? Thanks in advance!!
Good luck. Fart cans are like 40 bucks. I think autozone and shucks sell ok magnaflow mufflers for like 80.
Read the decibel (Db) on the muffler. the lower the decibel the quieter the muffler.
this is your best bet in your price range:

i would recommend (based on the shape of our stock muffler a side entry, and the opposite side exit and run the muffler sideways under the car. so the exhaust drops down like the stock muffler does (if you look you will be able to see what i mean)
That's what I am looking for, how would that sound? I don't want anything that's loud and annoying lol.
with the rest of the exhaust there, i don't think it will be loud, even with a straight pipe.
you will probably be able to hear that muffler, but it wouldn't be annoying in any way. i haven't run that particular muffler, i have used the thrush turbo, which wasn't too loud, and the muffler posted above is their quieter version.
how does the straight pipe work? it just replaces the cat right? isn't that "illegal"?
straight pipe refers to having nothing but a pipe from the manifold to the exit from the car. but its term has also been adopted to refer to replacing any single component with a pipe to eliminate it.
and yes it is illegal to remove any working catalytic converter from a car. and if you have emissions it will not pass the required visual check on the emissions test.
A lot of people also refer to an aftermarket or custom cat-back exhaust system w/ no muffler to be straight piped. Not technically correct, but just a little more info for ya'.
I ran straight pips on my Plymouth Duster, god it was sweet. The sound, well lets just say everyone knew when I fired her up. Your car has to be set-up for this kind of mod, most cars need a certain amount of backpressure.
In Canada and most States you can’t run straight pipes on the street.
Ok, before someone comes out and flames you, don't ever say any car needs backpressure again. Backpressure is bad for any engine. What you are refering to is exhaust velocity. It is needed to keep the components cooler and help with cylinder filling. Other than that backpressure will only rob you of power.Quote:

I’m old school, so straight pipes mean “drag pipes” no cat, on muffler, just header to pipe. Run that on a car not tuned for this set-up and you’ll be having issues.
Free flow is something different and works well on today’s street cars.

Just kidding, does changing the exhaust on these cars make that much of a difference anyway? I was reading somewhere that the Swift utilizes the most performance from its factory exhaust, in that changing it would do squat. I don't know about the aveo though... looks like it could use a little more mojo in that field, but like I said I don't know.
there was a "noticeable" difference in acceleration after i swapped out my stock muffler. plus the weight difference was impressive.
with the muffler swapped, and then adding a cold air intake (any intake really) really brought out the engines performance.
lol the stock muffler has heavy :lol:

Is it feasable to pick up all of the parts at our local parts store to get an exhaust done?
i pick up all the parts to do a custom (but cheap) exhaust at the local store all the time.
i didn't see a DIY, i just lay under the car and make the new pipe go where it needs to.
Thank you
Want to attempt this get rid of some un needed stuff.
But nervous to screw around and waste money. Don't want to take her into an exhaust shop and get in trouble because I left something out.
if you mean emissions trouble check your laws. around here you need one cat and one muffler, so typically for a hp swap i take everything else out.
