FrankenDime Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Good Afternoon, I have searched for a while and thought I would ask here. I am redoing the exhaust on my dime and wanted to get a similar muffler to what was used on JDM legend's 510's. If you watched the show you will notice they use a polished muffler with a slanted tip to coincide with the rear of the dime. Anyone have any good insight into this type of muffler? I want to get away from the ricer exhaust currently on the car. TIA Pick below is what the exhaust tip looked like. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 photo above looks like a Z car set up. and welded really fine. Ck out Jegs or Summit of a SS santed ex pipe. Look like this was welded and with ahanger tab. One can buy a slip on type most anywhere but they rust out pretty fast I myself like the stock look and like the Dynomax Superturbo as it has the turn vanes inside the muffler so it wont rot a hole in the end of the case. Its not stainless but has held up well on my 521.I wouls go stock quiet Walker type if to do it again. I like quiet now and just upsize the pipe to 1.75 ( or 2in) from stock pipe I also have a Dynomax Ultraflow which is a strait thru design in a Turbo case on my 510. 1 Quote Link to comment
BrandonS Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I used a Magnaflow 4x9" Oval on mine. With a 12" resonator in the middle of the car it sounds pretty nice. Unlike the one in the picture you posted, I'd recommend an offset one. You'll want the inlet to it on the side farthest to ease routing/tire clearance and the outlet on the opposite side to line up with the factory exhaust hole. This should nestle it nicely in the lower quarter panel area. I cut the "bracket' off the one that was on the car and welded it to the top of this to hang it. For the slanted tip part, I just ordered a slanted chrome tip, cut it to length, and welded it onto the muffler outlet. This is the muffler I used: https://www.magnaflow.com/products?partNumber=14335 The chrome tip (I cut it shorter): https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/svr-xac214/overview/ Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I think Milwaukee makes something like that. Hardware isle at Home Depot. Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Just a slash cut tip, cheap at summit or jegs. Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 That muffler set up is custom. For best exhaust tone AWAY from the ricer fart cans (I like some of them!), buy a good quality "turbo style" muffler without exhaust tip, cuz you have indicated that you want to turn the muffler like in the pic (like a Z car), buy a chrome or stainless tip, and cut & weld to suit your needs! That muffler looks like an offset INLET, and has a centered OUTLET, with a slant cut exhaust tip welded on. Hope that helps! TJ Quote Link to comment

BrandonS Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Cool reflaction. Haha thanks. It’s me and the kiddo. I’m fortunate in the fact she’s my shadow and interested in what I’m doing. I know my years of this are probably numbered 1 Quote Link to comment
