Just curious what everyone else is using for mufflers and how they sound, it's about time to get rid of the stock setup. It will be just downpipe and exhaust with no emissions stuff (thanks Montana), and I really don't want it to sound heinous, so any suggestions would be great.

if you switch over to 2.5 from 3 inches in the system your going to create a bottleneck. I would stick with 3 inch all the way back. I just installed the aussie system on my 185, with the twin tip muffler, very stock/sleeper looking. Not very stock sounding though, it can get loud, but it doesnt have that pinging fart can sound that the honda's have. Its got a bit more tone and growl. If I were you I would just save up for the good stuff. You'll appreciate it more down the road.

Yeah, the Aussie is incredible. I would definitly reccomend it.
The catback consists of 4 pieces, the hump that goes over the rear axle is two pieces, easiest way to put it all together involves taking off the pass. tire. The midpipe is the one where you have to remove the front crossmember, I tried to snake it through, wasnt happening. I think the system gets more difficult to install as you get closer to the engine. Forget the downpipe, but that goes without saying :doh:
I just wish it wasn't so farking expensive, I have a really cool cat rattle, sounds like a bunch of dry leaves in my exhaust, REALLY want it to go away, just don't have the money for the Aussie system yet. Thanks for all the info though. I suppose I'll live until I can save more money.

Dumb question, but...
Looking at the Australian site for Aussie Exhaust ( http://vs84208.server-store.com/ ) they have listed-
Connecting Pipe
Mid Muffler
Rear Muffler
Does the Connecting Pipe meet the Rear Muffler or do you need the Mid Muffler to complete the system?

The connecting pipe is actually what we call the midpipe. There are basically four parts in your exhaust system...downpipe, midpipe, resonator, and rear muffler. The resonator and rear muffler are connected by an over-the-axle piece that Aussie custom designed.

Not sure what you mean...Do you want a catback exhaust with a straight pipe in place of the resonator? I don't think Aussie would have a problem doing it, but it's probably a whole lot cheaper to get your local exhaust shop to make that pipe for you.
Personally...I don't think this is the route you want to go though. A full 3inch exhaust is pretty loud. A 3inch exhaust with only one muffler is really, really loud. Not enjoyably loud.

Hi,
here is my exhaust, it is fully custom made 3" stainless steel from the turbo to the back with no muffler except for the rear silencer which is an apexi dunk, it cost me about $1150 and was well worth it, the sound is awesome and it still passes the emmision laws here.
I will be taking it off next week when I take the engine out and will take some better pics.
Also there is no problem with the 3" pipe over the rear axle.
