r/Exhaust

Just installed an OBX cat-back exhaust on my CT200h and wanted to share some quick thoughts for anyone curious.

First off—this wasn’t about performance at all. I know this platform isn’t built for that, and I wasn’t expecting any gains. I just wanted something a little louder than stock to make the daily a bit more enjoyable.

So far, I’m actually pretty happy with it. The sound is deeper than stock and gives the car a nicer tone without being over the top. One of my biggest concerns going in was drone, but I’m not experiencing any so far, which is a huge plus.

Build quality seems solid for the price, and overall it feels like a good value. The only thing I’m still getting used to is the center-exit tip design—it sits right in the middle, kind of like the newer Civics. Didn’t love it at first, but it’s slowly growing on me.

For reference, the video attached is just the car parked and idling at light revs around 1,200 RPM to give an idea of the sound. I’ve only put about 40 miles on it so far, so I’m curious if the tone will deepen a bit over time. Also, excuse the transmission input damper noise in the clip.

Overall, I’d rate it around a 7.5–8/10 for what I was looking for. If you just want a slightly better sound without making the car obnoxious, this seems like a solid option.

I want to do the Borla cat back and ark secondaries combo for my stinger because I would like to get some more noise out of it hehe but which Borla cat back do I buy? Is one better then the other or?

2019 Hyundai veloster 1.6t ultimate here, i’m looking for a little more sound than the stock exhaust, but i don’t want crazy loud sounds.
should I remove the muffler and just do a tube with my stock exhaust tips?
anyone with that same set up who would share how it sounds?

Alright, so I drive a 04 4.0 v6 ranger, and as of now I have a super 44 on it, it gives a deeper tone but doesn’t pack that much of a punch, and today i bought a cherry bomb glass pack muffler, how should I configure my exhaust system? ( just the 44? Just glass pack? BOTH?!?!)

Whats up everyone. Have a 17’ Durango R/T and wanting an exhaust upgrade. Would like a deep tone and not obnoxiously loud and tin canny rasp bullshit. I just bought 2 LCGP resonators, gloss black 5” SRT/Ram tips and an X pipe. Originally thinking I cut the mid suitcase muffler or resonator whatever it is and install the X pipe and then install the LCGP right at the 5” tips after removing the factory rear mufflers/resonators whichever they are, not here for bickering between the two haha.

Can anyone help me with tips or vids of their set up please? Or should I not use X pipe, LCGP in place of suitcase and straight piped to 5” tips? Or install X pipe after the LCGP where the suitcase is and straight piped to the tips? I am beyond overwhelmed with all the exhaust addict videos I have watched and honestly just confused now. I got deals on ebay today for the LCGP, 5” tips and x pipe so I do not have yet. THANKS in advance everyone! Have a great day. Will be going on this ride above… 🍻

If not, what’s a fair price for a muffler weld service here?

I’m interested in getting a valve exhaust (mine didn’t have one stock) and thought of getting either a valve cut out or a valves muffler but I don’t wanna devalue the car by cutting the exhaust. And every exhaust system is very pricey and I thought of getting a alibaba exhaust so I can just clamp it on and not mess up the oem exhaust. if you have any other solutions please let me know or if you know any good alibaba exhaust please get back to me, thank you.

after i did the delete started smelling a strong burnt smell here & there so looked under and saw this ?

Been experimenting with a few gold exhaust tip designs lately.

Tried different styles - quad, twin, longer tips - but feels like some styles still missing.

Curious what you guys think - what would you change or add?

I Just got this GLC 43 AMG its a 2020 make V6
I had a fortuner and a old A4 and this definately seems like a huge upgrade i love the everything about this car
I wanted to get suggestions for what can i upgrade on this
Im sure ill be going for a PPF idk how much a good quality one costs
I also want to get a valvetronic exhaust but im not sure if it does any damage to the car
Theres one little thing which idk how to stop but is very important to me, THE SPEED WARNING SOUNDS… after 120 the songs vol just lowers and warning sounds of maximum speed limit reached just keeps going on and im already sick of it in 2 days
If anyones knows how to stop it please help me out 🙏
Also im open to ideas for any mods

In the first pic, the right tip is bent away from the left one while the left one is straight.

After looking at it, it seems the small pipe that comes off the side of the muffler is slightly angled. The exhaust is mandrel bent stainless steel, is there anyway that I can bend that pipe to align it better? I tried and it does not want to budge lol.

Had a terrible exhaust leak in my 1997 Camry so I bought some after market walker exhaust parts and switched the old ones out , the cat flange was completely rusted out , one of the 3 cat to manifold bolts was stripped so I tighten it the best I could to try and seal the gasket , it sounds a thousand times better but I ran a obd scan tool and it said the the o2 sensor on the mid pipe is reading 0.0 and ltft1 is at 21.9 percent , no check engine light yet but the o2 sensor is pending , should I try and fix that manifold bolt , is that the cause of it running lean? that the gasket isn’t seating properly
