Y33 muffler

[Q_SHIP]

Im considering a muffler just to replace the stock looking muffler. I want it just for looks and am expecting zero performance gains. What are your ideas of good looking muffler tips? I do not want the big rice cannon look. Im looking for a nice clean look.

Nice, but the VH series is a true dual system into the muffler.

What I 've been thinking is to eliminate muffler all together Just a straight pipe with some cool looking tips. Any takes on this on?Cheers!

As of december 31st, emissions will no longer be required for obd 1 vehicles here in NC, so I was considering doing the same thing, as well as getting rid of the cats.....not sure if there is much hp gain to be had, as long as performance doesn't decrease I might go with some straight pipe.....

I know a guy with this done on a first gen Q and IMO, it's WAAAY too loud at WOT.

I like the look of the squarish dual tips with rounded corners, but I'm leaning towards dual oval tips on a Magnaflow SS 2 in 2 out.

Do you have pics of this falk?

That will work, but replacing a stainless steel muffler with another one is like treading water.

Q45tech had a modified Flowmaster for quite a while before he went back to stock. Think it was the attenuated low frequency harmonics that proved tiring, along with no discernable increase in performance for his discomfort.

I'm not looking for any increase in power, although I must believe that the enormous stock unit has to be quite restrictive and I recall reading on this forum that the final muffler was the weakest link in the Q's exhaust.

The stock unit doesn't look stainless steel to me, looks like aluminum. In any case, from my personal experience, I love Magnaflow, they're quiet, but have a throaty growl under throttle.

If I get 5 hp out of it I'd be happy, if I get 0 hp out of it, I'll still be happy. I want this look:

That looks nice but almost to stock looking for me. Thats why I like the square tips.

It's not restrictive at all, but it is heavy and is stainless. Why they last so long.

I got OBD II Q45 (y33). Before I owned heavy modified Jeep Cherokee with very loud exhaust system (BORLA). Where I live there is no emission required to get re-registration. I wish Q45 had more distinctive exhaust sound rather than stealthy quiet sound. I want to install a hitch to haul my bikes around and with bif fat-a$$ muffler I can't build one. I am not spending 400$ on hitch, no sir! I really wish that Q45 had a bit more dist
