New Muffler

[EF9_Hatch]

Hows it going? last night my pos muffler fell of my car lol long story....anyways i bought the stock replacement muffler today and put it on....now its sounds like complete ass when driving. I have the D15b2 turd and it has a header into a pipe to the muffler no cat, no resonator nothing....could that be the reason why it sounds that way? or is it cause its just a stock muffler? Also does it matter that my muffler goes inside the pipe and not outside? Should i buy the little piece that goes from 2 1/4 - 2 inches. my old muffler went around the pipe. Is that how it should be or does it really matter?

Thanks!

Any body have any ideas as to what this could be?
Thanks

definitely caused from no cat.. a resonator will get rid of raspyness .. but w/ no cat, its gonna sound like shit regardless

i figured that. so does it matter that my muffler is inside the pipe and not outside?

 

[eg6sir]

nope.. get a CAT and resonator and you'll sound almost completely stock

see if i do that id have to get a completely new exhaust cause cause all the bolts are rusted on...but thats for the advice

I'd recommend a whole new exhaust anyway. A header into a stock exhaust is like a bottleneck. I say just have the muffler shop weld you up a new exhaust with slightly bigger piping.
