My car used to sound good real deep sound, but now it sounds like a honda civic. Why is that the muffler looks good its a 3Aracing brand. I really hate the way its sounds. HELP

It's normal wear and tear. Over time the material in a muffler will lose its original sound dampening qualities. This can be caused by intense heat, water damage, and carbon build up. I have noticed that this happens to most of the cheaper weld on mufflers like those by 3A, OBX, APC, etc. Some of the better quality exhaust systems have like a steel wool or another type of protective material between the tubing and the dampening, and that helps to prolong the life of the muffler.

I am not aware of any sort of fix that will restore the original sound. Perhaps someone else might.

its the muffler being burned out (just a phrase). alot of ppl like to buy mufflers like that, but usually they sound better after you run them awhile. then as they get older they lose their quality in sound. i dont hear that happening much tho

a good reason to get a new one}( ......tanabe ownz!

buy a magnaflow...

just weld in a resonator from any muffler shop...25 bux, took 10 minutes, sounds like any $600 exhaust system.

Just save some cash and buy your self a good system, Greddy, Apexi, to name a couple....you'll be happy then! And oh get the turbo muffler, it's better! It's the Apex N1 Series.

N1 owns you.

Twiste is right. My friend who just bought an eclipse got a cheap custom exhuast that is awsome and has good performance. He only paid a total of $200 for it too. He got custom 2.5" piping from the catback with a 22" cherrybomb glasspack in place of where the stock resonator would be. And a 10" resonator in place of where the stock muffler used to be. With a 3.5" chrome tip welded on the end.
