muffler question

[kikoteng]

Hi all !

Ride is a corolla lovelife 2000 xl. Had my muffler replaced about two years back. Just found out today that may butas na ang muffler so am now in the market to replace it. Just looking for plain-jane mufflers. Stock would be best. Have a few questions.

1. Other than stainless, what other material can a muffler be made of ? What's the pros and cons of the different materials ?

2. Is 2 years a short life for a muffler ? I mean, is it normal to replace it every 2 years or so ?

3. As far as shops are concerned, I see many backyard shops doing mufflers. I see many recommend CPM or Nodalo's. Is this the type of auto part that requires honed skills or welding lang naman yan ? I'm thinking CPM or Nodalo's might do a better job aesthetically. I could be wrong though. Need your inputs on this. My main concerns are quietness & durability. Not after the looks.

4. How much would a regular muffler cost these days ? including installation, of course.


Thanks in advance.

Mufflers are usually made of either stainless steel or black iron. Others are made of 16-gauge galvanized iron. I would go for the stainless steel or the galvanized iron coz of it's long life than black iron. CPM and Nodalo's are good when it comes to mufflers' durability. If you go for fuel efficiency, go for the quiet one; for more speed & power, go for the noisy one.
I'm not sure about their pricing these days, but probably they may go for 2k up..depends on the type of muffler.
2 years is short (for me), maybe around 3 yrs or so for the lifespan.

Sa akin mas okay stainless .Kung makakakuha ka ng Brand new na Japan made na chambered muffler power flow muffler mas maganda . Kung sa tibay lang hindi lang siguro 5 years itatagal niyan . Iyong sa akin bale 6 years na ayos pa rin pati iyong mga insulation sa loob.

Dear Sir:

Only one place to go for good mufflers and headers - SMT in Mascardo street, Makati... look for Mang Tony or his son, Mon.

Mga sir.. sa 800cc EON anong ok na muffler? Ang liit kasi ng auto ko. Feeling ko may time na hindi napapansin pag overtake ako. Kaya kaylangan ko pa ingayin ng kunti para alam na pa dating ako..

just a gentle tap with the horn or even a single headlight flash will do. menos gastos pa.

Nope, keep it stock. Upgrade your horn instead.

Ganyan din nangyari sa akin may times na hindi naririnig car ko kaya ayaw tumabi, kapag businahan mo galit pa, sa totoo lang ayaw ko ng binubusinahan kaya ayaw ko din mambusina, kaya nag muffler ako rev lang ng mataas taranta agad sila biglang tabi lalo na pag may sasakyan sa harap mo natataranta kaya tatabi agad, try mo mag HKS I think 3500 petot yun.
Ayy maliit na eon pala paps car mo try mo na lang sa mga gilid ng kalye meron sila dun maliliit na muffler bagay sa eon mo kapag nirev mo parang nagwawarak ng kalsada sa lakas ng tunog [emoji1][emoji106]

Marami talagang nag muffler para mag pa sikat. Pero para sa akin for our safety na mapansin na pa dating na auto ko kasi maliit auto ko.. tipid talaga ako mag busina. Minsan talaga may taong nagagalit pag binubusinahan.
.
Panu ba e test yun sir? Pwd ba e kabit then papakingan muna. Pag ayaw ng tunog. Pwd pili ng iba?

nawala na sa topic.....
for horns, try bosch, fiamms or stebel. malalakas yan.
on the DRLs, hindi sya bawal as long as it is installed properly. its purpose is for the others can see you even in daytime.
normally, it is placed dun sa may fog lights or nasa headlights.

look mo yung stock DRLs ng Mirage or ng Sportage. or ng Audi.

Halos same lng naman tunog ng mga muffler paps magkakatalo na lang sa laki ng makina....siguro depende sa usapan nyo kung pwede tanggal kabit or dagdag bayad,
Bibilis din car mo pag nag open muff ka konti nga lang, sa akin bumilis pero kung icompare mo sa mga bago mabagal pa din

I see.. thanks sa info..
Last question.

Void ba ang warranty pag pinalitan ang muffler?

^ thats the senario i always horn or flash.. para mapansin na pa dating ako...

Try using DRLs (day time running lights) na LED (hindi blinker ah).

Hindi ba bawal yun sir? Kasi parang blinker sa malayuan e..

[Egan101]

Dami dyan, puro tunog lang yung muffler pero hirap naman umarangkada. Sientobiente daw yung tunog pero biente lang pala yung takbo.

[vinj]

It should not be. Mount it low (usually on the lower bumper area).

Speaking of, i chanced upon an Eon with an aftermarket muffler this morning. IMO, nakakapagod siya as parang laging naka-high rpm given the small displacement of the Eon engine.

I will ask hyundai kung pwd ko pa lagyan na hindi ma void warranty. Hindi kasi ako mahilig gumamit ng horn. Pero for safety pag nag oover take ako e i use my horn. Feeling ko kasi hindi napapansin na pa dating na ako..

Walang RPM meter ang eon. Kaya papakiramdaman lang talaga ang apak at tunog ng makina.
