TheBigCarp321 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hey all. Im getting a new muffler for my car and its about $60. I was originally looking at one for $200. Whats the big difference in price with these mufflers? Is it bad to get the cheaper price one or does it really depend on the price. This is what im getting: www.cardomain.com/item/apc159008. Thanx. Gotta 2005 Honda Civic EX-SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicesintegra Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I dont know much about good mufflers cause im too cheap to buy one but i did buy a cheap catback off of ebay for my integra and i could feel a difference in power. Im not sure if a good one would have a better feel but i know the cheap one did help a little, and it definatly made it sound alot lot lot louder! For the car im building up im getting only the good stuff just to see whats up. If you look around and keep your eyes open, you can find the good name brand stuff for cheap.....I just bought a DC Sports header for my gsr engine and it only cost 46 bucks. So keep a look out.

..SSR.. Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 DC Sports isn't exactly name brand. You can't spell crap without APC. Save and buy a full exhaust, a muffler won't give you power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i were you, i'd listne to this man. Cuz i learned the hard way, LOL, i bought something like that but mine was 80$ APEXI, it made it LOUD as shyt, with little effect :( Mayb like 5hp, yea it blows. But iam selling the car next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 A muffler alone will not add 5hp. If you got a "apex'i" muffler for $80, someone scammed you. Apex'i doesn't make mufflers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicesintegra Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 ha ha ha...wow, thats funny.....and DC Sports (to me) is a name brand. I guess i just dont know anything... oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mayb mistaken, i have to check what it is. ALl it says was N1. Yea apexi was something else i was lOOKing at lOL. Still you get the point. and i was just wondering what these links were, if APEXI doesnt make mufflers.

CleanGSR Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 DC Sports isn't exactly name brand. So DC Sports isn't the name of their company? If so, then it would be a name brand, and considering they are now owned by AEM, I'd say they are a pretty good name brand. I love my DC SPorts header. As far as buying from ebay, I'd always be skeptical and make sure they have a good feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigCarp321 Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 I would think a muffler would add 5 hp. I hear a lot about it. I know thats not where to go for supreme power, but I think you could get some from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but even 5 hp increase might b there, but you cant feel it cuz its soo insignificant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRG7 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 you've gotta get one of the led tips, those will add soooo much hp you'll beat EVERYTHING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Yeah I've heard the Red ones give like 10hp to the middle wheels. And the blue ones give like 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedCivic94 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Ive heard the blue led tips give like 15 HP and add 5 lbs of torque too LOL Give me a break . Get a full catback bro . Dont waste your money on a muffler . ive learned that one the hard way . All a muffer does is gives you the import sound and if you want that sound that bad just run straight pipe .
