Looking at fitting either a 4"h x 9"w or a 5"h x 8"w mufffler in the driveshaft tunnel. Does anyone know if the 5x8 will be too tall and limit clearance? I don't mind taking off the heatshield. Thanks!

Matt

 

can i ask why you plan to do this?

 

Sure, i'm drawing up ideas for a custom exhaust. I need to know if I can use a 5x8 magnaflow or if I need to stick to their 4x9 series.

 

are you saying that it is 4 inches tall by 9 inches wide? or long? or what exactly

 

Reread his first post. He said 4"H by 9"W.

Reading comprehension > you.

 

kennymo has a point in asking.. the length might be a factor here..

 

How about go out and slide under your car with a tape measure...?

 

Assume a muffler length of 18".

SwivelHips: I'm just trying to find someone who has already fit one in the area. Especially if they have removed the heatshield to gain more ground clearance. But thanks for your helpful reply.

 

i custom made mine before also. 3in inlet and outlet, 4in diameter. if you go 5in, it's going to hit and rattle everything, and you're asking to scrape eveything, including the speed bumps. (oh yeah, and uneven roads!! LOL) you're going to drive grinding your teeth and lifiting up your butt. lol

but yeah, custom exhaust is the way to go. customize your own sound. but don't use any vibrant resonator, you're asking to sound like a civic. because it loses it's PURRRR~

 

THANK YOU! This is the information I need. This keeps me from making a decision that i'll regret down the road.
