Drivetrain One-Ball Exhaust Surgery - Before/After Photos

I will post some pics. So far my set-up works perfectly fine, which i think very similar to ALTA. In fact, a friend of mine came to look at it, sounds much deeper and tourquer than his ALTA, and cost 3 times less. The part number for the Magnaflow muffler i used is 11375, and i forgot the part number for the Magnaflow tip.
Here is my future setup. Take a look at Dr.'s last pic, he is using a standard mid pipe, which i will replace with 2.5 instead of 2.25 (which is std) and use SS. and spice it up with magnaflow SS muffler. No resonator, since i like it loud and aggressive. I will pay extra for the nice welding, still will be under $250.00. If you are looking for sound, you got sound, more free flow, there you have more free flow. Just can't justify throwing 7-800 for a brand name, since i have the resources to use exact the same brand mufflers and being a friend of a good muffler shop owner.Here is the link for the part:

you can also get it in polished:

Btw, I really neeed the pics man!!! I'm going crazy!

I'll echo those comments. Come on Berk, show and tell us more!

pics are coming, i used dbl wall tip, looks cool. Why did i decide on offset the same end? Explain it a little further, i don't understand. If you are referring to letting the muffler run through the center is offset center, i did not want to jack with the battery box, but again, if that is what you are refering to, other than that, you will need a little curves at the end to increase the backpressure, i believe, in order to protect the mid range torque.

it is for practicality reasons for the installation, any of those would work fine, it looked like mine was easier to work with, as far as the exhaust tip and the final pipe which the tip is on is concerned. I seriously looked at the ones you posted, i do not think they would increase the back pressure or sound, would hold the flow a little bit but not big noticable differences. It is all how you design the set up. Unfortunately we have so small spaces to work with . I will take my camera and post some pics tomorrow evening.

mine felt a little more healthier in the lower rpms, so i am connecting it to the increase of torque. But again, i do not have the stock mufflers, went with Magnaflow and stayed at 2 1/4 piping.
Detonics, i have been working like a dog these days, and keep leaving my camera home, and by the time i am home it is too dark, sorry for the wait.

this is the best pic i could get without putting the car on a lift, see the gap between the muffler and the hanger, it is gone, sorry for the manufacturer's defect sound clip, how do i do that? i love the sound and the increased popping, as far as the hp gains, not very noticable, a little torque at lower rpms, hey, it works for me

Thanks for the picture!! I see that the muffler fits well with the existing space. If I were to do this mod, I'll get two mufflers like Milltek/Magnaflow system. This will reduce the noise a lil bit bt not sure if this will increase the power/ torque/back pressure. any comment?
Where is the gorgeous tip?
As for the clip, you are having trouble to record it or posting it here? You can use you camera/mobile/Video Camera. Can someone give him a hand on how to post the clip?

well, two mufflers, hmmmm, that is not a bad idea, but who cares about lower sound, it really does not scream at all, quite torquey, just like the way i wanted, however thiis is personal, some want quite, some loud, i am on the loud side.
Two mufflers, more back pressure, more torque, i really doubt it, especially for couple of hos, would not bother.

I thought about the dual system, which would copy the original Magnaflow, but like i said before for 1-2 more hp, why spend an extra $90.00 $100.00? The biggest purpose of this mod is sound and a little beteer flow provided by decreased restriction. It is personal, i am opposed to the use of dual mufflers. Wish i could have a chance to record my sound...
