tires and exhaust

[98mgalant]

OK as all of you know my tires are shot due to some unknown problem. I'm wanting some opinions on what are good tires that are reasonably priced. I need to know what size I should get for my 17x7.5 wheels. I was thinking 215/40s. I want a slight stretch. So any info will help.

now for the exhaust part. I want some suggestions on a good exhaust setup. I don't want anything really loud. I want it to sound good. I haven't had a muffler for a while due to a block of wood and a deer and I had my stock one put back on recently. I want something that sounds good when I put my foot down and kinda quiet at other times. I want to know what muffler cat headers and resonator to go with?

If your like me and drive your car year round even in snow and rain i would go with these.

BFGoodrich super sport A/S
My size is 215-45-17 on a 17x7 rim

now as to why i reccomend. they are fairly priced, wear quite well. Handle awesomly year round. i love them so much i have 3 sets. i first tried them on my mazda 3, loved them so much when they wore out on the mazda i bought them again for it and bought a set for my galant to replace the federals that scared me.

the galant has put maybe 15-20k on them and they still look relatively new.

the mazda is weird. the stock tires lasted all of 23k and these go about 35-40k on it

Get a 2.5" cat back from ebay hack the can off the end and have a megnaflow street pro muffler put on and if you are lik me and have no emissions you can run a resenator for a cat delete, when my car was na that setup was beast. Great sound when you got on it but quiet while cruising around so the cops leave you alone

I am a hgue fan of Falkens....great price, excellent handling. I have 215/45 17"s as well but I think next set I am gonna go wider with maybe 225/40. Exhaust....welll take someone elses advice I guess....I have probably the most expensive muffler on the site i'd be willing to bet! LOL I have 2.5" piping with no resonators and a Remus DTM Stlye muffler. Same deal as 306's G....cruising and normal rpm ranges its very quiet and civil, but hittin it in tunnels or getting on the freeway the shit roars!

[98mgalant]

Hey Predat-R put some pics up brother.

[Davidline]

Just out of curiosity, you going turbo bro?

[98mgalant]

I wish but no. Im not gunna do any big engine mods until my curent engine gives out or I come into some money or a good job.

[Davidline]

2.5 A must, Falkens, or BFGoodrich 215/40 Looks awesome to me, nothing less, nothing more, personally *Cough*. I usually go with the first thing that comes to my mind hehe.

I don't know much about mufflers at this point but Magnaflow seems like the cheaper option out of reading for a while.

[evil-G-nius]

yeah I hear good things about magnaflows....I been thinking about switching to a Tanabe muffler but....that shit is expensive too! LOL At that I might as well stick with my Remus, I love the sound anyways

[98mgalant]

I plan on geting every thing I need and having a local shop do all the piping and hanging everything so idk if they will let me do it without a cat or not. I'm not really shure when I'm going to get it all down but I think that I'm guna start buying everything and get it all ready. Does anyone have a pic of a 215 or 205/40 tire on a 7.5" wide wheel?

[98mgalant]

Would you guys care to post some pics of your mufflers on your car?

[evil-G-nius]

if you get 215 (wider is better) go with 45 profiles. It will be a better ride and if you are lowered it will help fill the wheel gap. If you are slammed, then a lower profile would be fine...but i'd say the 45's would be good.

here is mine with 215/45 17"...kinda far pic but you can get an idea

Thanks koji464 and Evil-G. Anyone else have any pics of thier mufflers on the cars?

[evil-G-nius]

I gotta look...I have a better shot of my muffler for you. That pic was to show you the 45 profile tires

i just realized i have pics of the muffler on my for sale thread for tires if u need to see them

[Tensta]

I've heard good things about the Apexi World Sport. Sounds almost stock at idle and cruising speeds, but has a nice deep tone at WOT. They're pricey though.

x2 on that one. Haven't heard any bad things from an apexi brand.

Ok men its time to revive my old thread. I think that I have found the muffler that I want. Here is a link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MagnaFlow-14805-Muffler-Street-5x8-Oval-14-Body-W-Tip-/190385801547?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c53e0c94b

My questions now are: 1.Should I get a new resinator or not? The ones on our cars are pretty big already so is it really going to be that big of an improvement? 2.Cat back or highflow cat? I dont want it to be supper loud. 3.Headers or stock manifold?

[mko]

1g headers are like 80 bucks these days. Its worth the investment and these dont crack.

Muffler - Id recommend this one. It flows as a straight pipe muffler and its quiet.

Catback - just get generic SS ebay Eclipse catback, cut the muffler and weld the one above with 6'' extension.

Thanks. Im still kinda set on geting the muffler I posted. I like the design of it. I wasnt thinking when I posted that last post. Ima have a shop run the piping so I wont need a cat back. I will be geting the headers and highflo cat and a muffler some time soon I hope. Do you think I could get some decent tips and make the muffler you posted a little nicer looking without getting ricerish? Also do you think that I should run a resonator?

[mko]

not resonator, but a pre muffler.

i run this and im very happy with it.

the inner diameter has louvers and these make it 2.5'' which makes it perfect for 2.5 apps.

or you can spend a little more money and get this
