exhaust question

[2C0UGAR00]

I don't think i have the actual sports addition cougar so my question is.... would it be better to go to a dual muffler tip exhaust or a keep it a middle muffler kit from TruBendz?

[Turbo Zetec 'tour]

doesnt matter. if your going turbo, then as long as you have at least a 2.5" exhaust i would stay with whatever you have so you can spend the money elsewhere.

[2C0UGAR00]

thats the thing im running stock still which is why i was asking

[Turbo Zetec 'tour]

i was running 2.5" exhaust on my zetec long before i went turbo. why waste the money redoing the exhaust?

[2C0UGAR00]

thats what im trying to tell you i haven't even messed with the exhaust yet.... its still stock

[Turbo Zetec 'tour]

sorry, the way i read it it sounded like you already had an exhaust. either one is fine. a single muffler may be a little louder than the dual mufflers but may not either. really its whatever look you want.

[bdiddy]

yeah, with this, it's just about what u think looks better, bc you will be running a single pipe until your back axle, so your exhaust is a single exhaust system, and havin one or two tips won't change anything but the looks, and maybe the sound

[2C0UGAR00]

so then give me your opinions.... dual tip mufflers or just dual tips looks better?

[Yofavcracka]

if your cat is stock, it doesnt have 2.5 inch exhaust piping. Id just go with the trubendz kit. Mid muffler sounds much better in my opinion. I was never into the rear can muffler's.

Dual tipped exhaust is mearly for looks, and yes, it looks ALOT better.

here is the dual tip borla i found for an I4

[Yofavcracka]

Mine was the 2.0l

And the video you posted was Angelspirits. Basically the same setup as mine, But i think he gutted his cat and thats why its louder.

I had a header and i live in cali. I knew a smog guy lol.

But a catback is perfectly legal and will give you a nice sound. Not much power... if any at all, but itll definetly sound nice.

[2C0UGAR00]

so out of all ya'lls opinion what sounds better on the cougar in the mid muffler?
catback system
Borla
Flowmasters
magnaflow
glasspacks
??????????????

thats all personal opinion.

I liked borla

Magnaflow was just a deep bassnote in my opinion.
Borla has a nice almost european growl.
flowmaster is really loud, but kind of raspy.
