I think it's just fatter aftermarket pipes smacking around if you have things in the way. Exhaust wiggle can be mitigated restricting the stretch and travel of hangers as they wobble.
|
Cant you just get beefier hangers and be done with it?
|
Cost of poly hangers: expensive
Cost of honda hangers on rockauto + hose clamps: pennies Thats a tough choice. And stock exhausts are smaller, have more room around them. My 3" pipe has tight clearances and was built by me. So its not exactly....perfect. Tight hangers keep it in place. Also, ive seen stock exhausts fall off miatas in the past. |
Can you take a pic of your hangar and post it here? I wanna see it...
Also, iirc you don't have the big ass muffler right? |

I definitely have an ass muffler.

Aidan's car qualifies for the "war crime" thing I was talking about earlier. :giggle:
|
Pussies.
My shit is dope. |
lawl he's trying to build a clean legit car, not the herpes poster child
keep that exhaust in your thread until you redeem yourself with your upcoming build |
Exhaust is staying.
|
That actually sounds really good to me. Does it drone?

My god yes. I wear earplugs if the windows are down and im driving next to a freeway barrier. The noise really puts hailey to sleep though, so it works out ok. @turbofan describe my exhaust please. |
Heh, there goes that idea. On a serious note tho, that is what im looking for tone and sound level wise. I don't want it stock quiet. But I don't want open downpipe ears bleeding loud. So maby the Enthuza would be a good fit... And if I don't like it, I can weld in the big ass muffler.
This makes the most sense to me unless I can find a local to hear their exhaust. |
Come listen to my car some time. :) It's definitely louder than stock, but not obnoxious.

here's how they stack up on level of quieter, louder, loudest:
1) mt Maggie 2) fm 3) enthuza Oh and catalytic converter makes a BIG difference in each situation as well |

I don't think so, at best they are about equal (IMO)
When you put the hammer down in his, the turbo is also basically all you hear. My MSM FM exhaust was definitely louder than his setup, but then mine wasn't catted so not apples/apples. |
I definitely want a catted system. I am going to see how much it will cost to custom fab up something at a local track shop (Trackspec).
