yeah I decided im keeping the lancer I can always get an evo later on or something better. But for right im keeping my baby!!! she has held up through so many problems and helping me all the time this is probably one of the best cars I had ever had.

so next month im upgrading the entire exhuast of the car to 3"
so I need recommendations for exhaust I will give reasons

I have this maganflow muffler http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...e=main&id=9158

I love this muffler but if im going 3" i need a bigger muffler but not to big because it wont do me any good.

I would prefer something like the evo 8/9 style and sound for a muffler but I DO NOT WANT IT TO SOUND RICEY!!!! any suggestions or should I keep this exhaust?

This is it steven I have this muffler and it sounds very nice and deep not ricey in the slightest bit I LOVE IT.

 

that muffler is pretty sick thats why I love magnaflow, the only problem I see wih this mufler is trying to angle it like the import styles thats what im trying to go for once I build this car like if you look at mitsukids pic here https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/me...late-haha.html

I like the way that looks. with my muffler I can do it because its round body but I need a 3" inlet so theres no smaller gap weld.

03lance I think I seen that muffler on youtube it sounds sick!!!

Steven here another more recent pic

 

I just think that looks really sick. The mufflers Im deciding on will allow me to still keep the horsepower and allow me to angle are these

greddy evo 2

what I just realized when I didnt have my turbo on my car my muffler sounded ricey "my definition of ricey is that annoying raspey sound when you hit a certain rpms I cant explain it but kinda like my old vids you can find on youtube" when I installed the turbo it made it alot more quieter
I know these are evos but these are the only quik vids I could find that will let you see what kind of sound and style im looking towards

this is the sound im trying to acheive

The last one sounds "ricey" to me. I like the way magnaflow sounds, and I will probably ditch my "ebay SR*S" muffler as soon as I can. Still, gonna wait for the turbo and see if it adds enough equalization of pressure to stop the "flub flub flub" as I let off the gas.

 

Are you talking about the megan?

 

the "launch" video

 

sorry lol I meant something kinda like this noise

here is a vid of my car

oh...yeah, anything that "pops" is ricey imo. I like deep and "throaty" sounding exhaust. I'm not sure if it's the camera or what, but lemmie record a clip of my car so you can hear my ebay's....once it's a decent hour, wouldn't want to **** off the neighbors.

 

yup its official, I went to a car meet and spoke to one of the guys there that has an evo 8 with a stock turbo as well. when I rev it he looked at me like what is that noise and I said I dont know he asked is there shaft play, I said no, then he asked is it leaking oil I told him yeah, he said you need to either rebuild your turbo or buy a new one before it gets worse.

so I need a poll here
-Buy a new evo 8 turbo
-rebuild my current turbo

need to know by this friday and I will tally up the votes

 

I say rebuild. Rebuild kits are inexpensive and that way you will be able to sell that turbo when you do upgrade.

 

Is it hard to rebuild them ?
I know that mine needs it i just neglect it .
Because it spits out oil out the exhaust and Licp

rebuild = 1 - 03lance

new turbo = 0 votes

 

No its a fairly straight forward job. Your just pulling it apart and replacing seals mainly
