Has anyone used an apexi silencer in an exhaust that ISN'T made by Apexi? My exhausts silencer shot out of the back (The bolt came loose) and got completely ****ed. It could cost me 75$ and a very long wait time to get a replacement since my exhaust isn't readily available in the USA. The Apexi silencer has the same piping dimensions as mine, but I am wondering if there are any other things that will make it not fit.

Comments?

 

Along the lines of your question-I have a Flowmaster muffler, and after the novelty of the sound wore off, I went back to the muffler shop who installed it, and bought a silencer from "no-name" muffler and it fits fine. A couple of days later, I found a friend of mine who bought a Magnaflow silencer, and it was exactly the same thing as mine. The one I bought was $8.

 

Hey man,

Sorry no concrete answer, but maybe I should try that to get my Helix silencer out. It's a friggin PITA, lol. I did see a test in D-Sport a few months back for a generic silencer with a different design that was in between no silencer and the normal restrictive silencer.

In my car, the silencer cost ~50 WHP

I think it's too loud without it, but losing ~50WHP blows...

I guess as long as the dimensions are ok, including the depth, it should work?

Good luck,

Cool, maybe I'll get an extra one and see if I can "alter" the silencer to flow a little better without making it too loud. Otherwise I'm looking at buying a quieter muffler.

Thanks,
