Muffler Dilemma. Please Advice.

[JCBalunsat]

I'm planning to put on a JASMA certified muffler on my 96 Vti but the dilemma is that I have kids. Baka kasi maingay sya and di makatulog mga babies ko. What would you guys suggest that I do? Gusto ko din naman ng buo ang tunog kasi sagwa ng stock e. What muffler should I get that would not disturb my kids if they are sleeping at the back?

Yung JASMA na chambered muffler kunin mo.

Unlike free flow muffs, tahimik to and nagiging maingay lang pag high revs/ speed.

[JCBalunsat]

Any brand/s you would suggest?

[mazdamazda]

Any brand as long as the chamber is big.

Is the Hypermedallion good?

For me, id stick to the stock muffler na lang. Would you really be willing to compromise your child's comfort in exchange for additional "pogi points"

Just my 2 cents.....

Its good but broooooooooooooom, broooooooooooooom next time you know..uha,uha,uha,uha! Try magnaflow muffler, made of stainless steel w/ dual exhaust tip. Deep tone not ricey.

sir, if your planning to get a "canister" style muffler, then get the one w/ a silencer. like the 5Zigen Fireball, HKS Hiper or Apexi N1 mufflers which can be used w/ a silencer on. but other brands will work also, depending on whats available in your area.

also, dont remove the stock resonator. the resonator will help tone down the exhaust note.


aite, peace.

When the kids start crying despite the compromise in exhaust note you'll wish something would snag it off the exhaust pipe just to silence them

[JCBalunsat]

Stock is alright but a deep sound wouldn't hurt. Would it? It's not everyday that the kids will be there. I'm planning to get it in Banawe. Any suggestions of a place where I could get it from will greatly be appreciated.

The last problem you'll have is when people say it sounds deep maybe to you it won't, and I don't know of a way for sellers to test them, especially here on a forum where you just base your decision on replies by others. Not that they're not credible, but your ears are your best tools to tell if it's good enough for you or not (or your children too). Good luck

Ang kuya ko talaga. For the record, Galant_VR_94 is my cousin. Medyo nagmemelow na kasi sya. Di tulad dati notorius karerista on his Blue-printed SR.

That will be another dilemma then. I need to clean my ears then.

The best way to tell is to buy at a muffler shop, where they can cut off your current muffler and hold the new one up to the exhaust pipe, so you can hear it.

My kid can still sleep in the back despite my muffler (and the modified exhaust system attached to it...) but the missus absolutely hates it...

If you're not going all-the-way, a muffler alone doesn't really do much. I'd rather spend that money on a mild set of headers or an intake system.

[JCBalunsat]

I guess I just want a deep sound. That's all. Headers and Air intake would be added someday.... when I'm often low... LOL

[niky]

Headers + stock exhaust = a nice raspy, exhaust note.

[JCBalunsat]

Really now. I didn't know that. 4-1 headers or 4-2-1 headers? Branded or kahit locally made?

Teka hindi ba ang JASMA-certified mufflers dapat tahimik?

JASMA is a regulatory body in Japan that governs, among other things, the noise levels of mufflers/exhausts. JASMA is not a manufacturer. They will certify your muffler for street use or race use.

AFAIK, yes.

Well, "tahimik" is a very subjective term. To some people the rumble of a fart-can exhaust is enough to give them mild palpitations already.

To the threadstarter, just bring your children when buying a muffler. Let them hear the said muffler before it is welded/installed to your exhaust.
