That is pretty nice and it will make your car sound louder dont know what you mean 'better' or 'worse'

[Samio]

what i mean by better/worse i want the car to have a nice tough purr but i dont want it to sound like its about to break down at the next light.

The muffler will give you a little bit of sound but you wont really seen any beneficial horsepower gains because youre still using the factory piping. If you want to see a little bit of HP and help your engine breath easier then have your piping replaced with at max. 2 1/4 inches in diameter. Also check ebay for mufflers, you can get them super cheap there. 179USD is a ripoff for a generic muffler like that.

dont bother with buying a muffler and getting custom piping done (thats what ive done). in the end, ull spend nearly as much as it costs for a nice catback.

[Samio]

whats a catback?

[Samio]

would you guys say this muffler is better, if so ill look for it on ebay. Im gonna change alot of parts on my car but i wana take it step by step.

^^ That one looks like it is rusting and I have seen alot of cars with that first muffler it sounds pretty good but do you want it really loud or quite?

[Samio]

i want it to sound loud but not so loud that you want to cover your ears. i want it to sound close to how the 04' infinite g35 coupe sounds.....a beautiful loud humm....but lets be real i have a 95' corolla, i just want it to sound smooth.

[Skylinelover]

DO you care about looks?

[Samio]

well not that much but i dont want a big ugly sewer pipe sticking out of the back of my car

[Skylinelover]

Ok.. Well I would go with the first one just becuase I have seen it on a variety of cars and it looks good on all of them.

[Samio]

wow! you replied super fast......but then again i did too :tongue:

[Samio]

oh yea and thanks alot man ill go with the first one then :thumbsup:

[Skylinelover]

No problem. are you doing to cut your bumper to fit it in right or just put it on?

[Samio]

well im gonna get a body kit (ED Type evo drifter body kit) so ill put it on then see what i can do to get it on

[Samio]

the muffler that is :banghead:

The second muffler that you posted is made by a failry high end company known as apexi. That is there turbo N1 which means that it is for turbo cars only. If you notice the inlet diameter(the spot where the piping meets the muffler) it is 80mm...much much too big for a normally aspirated corolla engine. What you need is a muffler with an inlet diameter anywher between 2-2 1/4 inches. (not sure what that converts into mm). Apexi does make a non turbo version of that muffler but they are pricey and might be more than what you really need anyways. There are cheap knockoffs of many styles such as the N1 which will do you just fine
