FiveSeventyZee Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have a muffler that I've been hesitating on installing on my dime because the tip is 4"...that scares me, I held it up to the car but its hard to get a feel for it without mounting it and stepping back. which I cant really do because the current muffler is where I would like the new one to be. anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone has any pics of a 510 with a 4" tip, I don't really care what style the tip is, I'm just trying to get a size reference. thanks to anyone that can help Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 no pics but 4 inch tip? how big is the system and in my personal opinion i think its to big but thats just me Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 The blue one is 5Dimer's. Orange is mine Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 This is a 3.5", so imagine a tad bigger than this... Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 dose it have a Cummings diesel in it? lol Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well I think "too big" is a bit relative. Without going through your build thread, it's hard to say if it's adequate or overkill. I would venture a guess and say its too big, based only as I don't remember you having an SR in there. I've run 4in exhaust before and it was great, but it wasn't a weak L-series. It all really depends on if your engine needs that much room to remove exhaust gasses. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Another view of same 3.5" tip... Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Dude was asking for pics, not opinions... ^_^ Mine was in response to Bonvos opinion, but during the time it took me to type it on my phone there were a billion posts and pictures up. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 What I said goes for Bonvo too. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 haha thanks guys. Its the car in my sig/avatar its a KA-e I know 4" would be overkill but I like the look/sound of can style mufflers. that 3.5" looks too big still! I knew I shoulda got a 3" tip....guess I'm decided for sure, 4" aint gonna happen...not on my dime at least. thanks again for the quick responses yall Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Please don't make it sound like a honduh... 1 Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Please become a conformist sheep and build your dime 100% the same as every other dime on this site because i really hate originality and I would prefer our surviving cars to all be the same... thanks, got it, will do and for the record, it wouldnt sound like a honduh...it would sound like one of many s13's with sohc KA's and can mufflers.... edit: i'm not trying to be a dick, just trying to make a point. its just getting old seeing people (not targeted at you sedition, people in general) on this forum flaming the daylights out of people any and every time anything slightly out of the "norm" is brought up Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 as long as its a qweef can and not a fart can.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wow... I wasnt trying to start anything here, have no clue where you got all that. Nothing more will be said :mellow: :mellow: Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 yeah, i added an edit, came off way doucheyer than it went in my head. I'll take the blame for that one Quote Link to comment

At least if you start with something odd like a B210/210/200SX/HLA10 then there's no set "uniform" for it and you can do whatever you want. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 And a side note, from what I've seen, the space between the left side bumper bracket and the quarter panel is only just big enough for a 3" tip. A 4" tip would probably require mounting very low, or cutting into the bumper bracket or quarter panel. edit: In fact, if you look closely at the pic I posted, you can see he did cut into the bracket just to fit a 3.5" tip. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wasn't trying to make it a mean thing either, just seen a couple people go with the big angy bumble bee coffee can mufflers. Just ruins the old school feel for me. But with that said I posted a couple pictures above with my buddies 510 with a large diameter bozo muffler. With his CA18 it sounds good Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 With his CA18 it sounds good The spinny muffler always helps the sound. ;) Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 sorry buddy, if i sounded rude not that i care what you do, but if i did care it would be about the performance, not the look or sound but all those things in conjunction are nice to have if you think they go together and work for you!! all anybody should care is that it performs to YOUR expectations Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Not everyone cares about old school ... old people. 4" exhaust tip can have equal performance to a properly sized exhaust. What is important for performance is the size of the pipe up to the muffler. Doesn't matter what's after it. Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 yeah again it was an overreaction on my part lol lets just call it my man period, it's over now :P I don't race/drag/drift this car. it's just a daily driver, as such I'm not trying to build a max performance car, it's fast enough to keep up with traffic (and then some) so I wasn't worried about losing tq or anything. plus like ggzilla said its only what's before the muffler that matters. at any rate I PERSONALLY don't like the look of the 3.5" tip so I'm not gonna use my 4 lol Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think it would look OK, now that blue onewith the extralong tip looks retarded! Quote Link to comment
