Fixed it for you.

Fixed it for ya.

Yeah, I like my can, my wicked sweet BOV, and my monsterous 18's...but I'm not a huge ricer like a lot of other people in Fargo. I know I said it already, and it does sound ricey, but I can't stand not hearing my exhaust. It's a guy thing Torbs...you wouldn't understand.

and that is why you...are a ricer

the muffler may flow more/be less restrictive. but what good does it do to put that larger muffler on and then have to reduce it back to a smaller pipe to exit the muffler?

The exhaust can only flow as much as its smallest point. Behing big, is also not always the best thing. back pressure doess affect torque

Reality is actually more complicated than that. It's an old classic, but if you haven't you might want to read "the scientific design of intake and exhaust". He discusses the reason why race exhaust tips were "megaphone" shaped, i.e. pipe size expansion can have an important positive effect on exhaust characteristics. I don't remember the specifics, but the take away i had from that book was that designing an effective exhaust system was quite difficult and required a reasonable understanding of fluid dynamics as well as some engine characteristic data that most people don't have handy.

Now in the specific case we're talking about here -- yeah, it's unlikely that putting a big fart can on a car will do anything but increase noise (my experience is with primarily BMWs, and you will almost never beat the stock system on a BMW except for saving weight, unless you've modified the engine otherwise such that the factory exhaust is no longer appropriate for the engine's state of tune). That said, it's strictly incorrect to say that putting a large diameter muffler on a smaller diameter exhaust cannot ever be beneficial.

U forgot the part where bigger piping isnt always better...it's exhaust velocity that's what matters not how big piping is, etc.

Well, i take thazt back. I havent had any exhaust on a vehicle that didnt need it. that car wouldve choked with factory dx exhaust....

That car was still fucking loud with that stock b-series header on it.

whammy. Your right

no, not really. Read up.

No. Shut the fuck up.

no, i just dont agree with you saying that a fart can is performance with no piping at all. Your a ricer, so "/STFU"

OWNED!!!!

I have an exhaust all 3 of my vehilces. The only time i have been pulled over for it was on broadway at 2am on labor day. And.... I was in my jeep.

Some of you know how loud my car is when i go WOT, if i can do that next to a Harley and not hear my open dump, that is just nuts.

I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. It's fucking pointless because you are an asshat. All you do is argue with me on everything. So STFU and quit with the bullshit. You have no reason to have beef with me, if you want a reason then I will give you one. /end rant

Well, a can is usually straight through as opposed to a factory muffler which does not. That results in less restriction in flow. Not much better, but a little.

ummm....no.
