Sa Mufflerland po, ok naman dun.

Or mga jasma mufflers po, pwede. Thru internet, pwede niyo bilhin or sa mga JDM shops meron din.

Instead of putting money in that, go with an aftermarket header... then you'll get both, performance increase + roar at high revs, silence in low revs.

mga magkano aabutin sir? meron ako tinext HKS daw 25k ganun ba talaga presyohan nun?

Speedlab HotPipes - 17k = +HP, roar and whistle at 3.5k rpm and above. (add an 11.5k Cold Air Intake, +2.5k Bypass, even more +HP)

Bolt on Exhaust - 25k (w/ or w/o install?) = 0 HP gain

Mufflerland's custom built - 2k-3k for longer resonator, 4k-6k for race type muffler, 2k-4k for bent piping... = 0 HP gain din

it's really not all that hard to see why actual gained performance > percieved exhaust rumble.

it's better if you keep your exhaust note in stock configuration rather that putting in something there and won't even gain any power or atleast, good-looks and appreciation. Better yet, Go to speedlab and have a Hotpipes headers installed and save up for some intake modifications too.

Yup.

HKS yan eh. Mahal talaga.

However, there are cheaper mufflers too like Fujitsubo, Kakimoto, Fusion R and the like.

I agree with Bravoexo though. If HP gain is what you're after then there are other options that you could consider. By having a simple upgrade of IHE, you would have a more decent sound while having a more powerful car.

Sa Short Ram Intake (K&N) pa lang, busog ka na sa tunog eh.

Muffler lang palitan mo kasi pag lumaki ang pipe mawawalan ng back pressure at babagal lang tsikot mo sayang pera. Pag IHE mods kailangan na ng tune.

Headers + cold air intake in a stock engine without a tune will not always equate to HP increase. A sportier sounding engine does not guarranty HP increase either without a dyno slip.
