A [Universal] Alternative to the TRD Muffler?

by **dvdchris45** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 2:24 am

So recently I've been considering the TRD muffler (considering its the only muffler that has official solara support). At $400 its a hefty pricetag...but I figured why not look into some universals (not from your local muffler shops). One of them caught my eye: A'Pexi N1

I found this on a Gen 2 thru cardomain (hope its ok with him that I use the image)

I think it looks pretty decent no? I highly dont it'll sound like a fart can..especially for a V-6..I did a quick search and saw it for $220-50 or so...nearly half the price of a TRD.

Any opinoins folks?

go for it! have you heard with no muffler? someone said it was not too much different than the trd. i've been meaning to try but havent. the loudest it could be is without any muffler, i would think. i think the trd muff is of very high quality. i think its made by borla. i think the trd muff is slightly on the conservative side, which is good for hwy and long drives but doesnt make the grin on my face turn evil when i stomp on it.

A local houston dude here has that system on his 1mzfe ES. it sounds beautiful, he's got an injen intake as well. Just a idle its silent, but when he gunns it, its loud...as long as your revs are under 3K, it will be alright, any higher, its freaking a phart can!

You guys think this Apexi will sound like a fart can above 3k on the 3MZ?

I guess the closest thing that ours would sound like is that Accord V6 (If we have V6 of course) If so.. No thanks... I want a slightly deeper sound...

(I'm blown as well BTW)

by **dvdchris45** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 1:15 am

I wonder if the v6 accord is one of the news ones or not...sounds alright...but at high revs kinda has a ricey sound
