Ike New Member 23 Member For: 17y 6m 23d Posted 08/10/11 06:25 AM Share Posted 08/10/11 06:25 AM Hey guys, yes yes another centre muffler thread.... now im posting in the ute section for a reason, because I want to hear from UTE owners. Plenty of threads out there for sedans, but nothing really about the utes....Now after reading all over the forums about the mod being $100 and blah blah I thought that sounded great, then I went to the exhaust shop and realised the Utes go from a single in to the muffler and come out double....Now what have you guys done? Put in a Y Piece, single into twin?The exhaust shop quoted me $300 to do that all with flanges so I can drop the resonator if need be and place stock muffler back into place.Any comments, pictures and or videos would be greatly appreciated.Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt bother with the flange option, but that's my opinion. Edited 08/10/11 07:20 AM by fordfreak1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only option is the Y-piece I think. I just hope it won't whistle with that sharp edge inside where the two pipes join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good can hear it mostly around 1800-2200rpm has a nicer deep note to it now.Would there be much difference in sound if you went with the single straight through (3/3.5") instead of the twin?

Ike New Member 23 Member For: 17y 6m 23d Posted 10/10/11 08:19 PM Author Share Posted 10/10/11 08:19 PM Spoke to another exhaust shop today and he told me 150, the other guy obviously didn't want to do it. Should be getting it done on friday, so I will let you guys know how it sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike New Member 23 Member For: 17y 6m 23d Posted 11/11/11 10:31 PM Author Share Posted 11/11/11 10:31 PM Well I finally got around to doing the exhaust, had a few busy weekends!And the end result is awesome, definitely not to loud!Idle is quiet, you can somewhat hear that it isnt the standard sound.When you accelerate a little at cruising speed you can hear a nice sharp note.To me it sounds like a quieter version of a skyline.What I ended up going for was just the 3" straight pipe that goes to one side of the muffler then there is a join that bends a little into the other side of the muffler.If you would like some pictures let me know and ill post.Over all it is the best $150 spent! Sounds great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
