4724, Twin DTM Mufflers :-)
Posted by RS_Guy, May-27-01 03:43 PM
I decided that I like the "twin muffler" look alot. I already have an A'PEXIi N1 muffler, but I am getting sick of it.

I want to put TWO "Upswept DTM Style" mufflers, one on each side.
To help you visualize this easier, I also have a Blitz Back bumper, just like the one in "The Fast and The Furious". i.e. with the reverse lights in stock (97-99) position, not placed beside the liscence plate.

Example of the mufflers that I am talking about:


So, dya think it'll look good, or am I plain crazy with bad taste?

Things to keep in Mind:
A second muffler WILL fir (just can't be too wide).
I need DTM mufflers that are as free-flowing as possible, I am turbo'd past Stage II.

Can you also please list ANY/ALL Mufflers of that style that you can think of?

Thanks,

Guy

I was gonna do that but I don't have a body kit and it won't work with the stock back bumper. I have one DTM on there now and I have thought about getting an N-1 style instead.

I have one DTM muffler with my blitz kit, it is OBX muffler and i am really impressed with the deep, throaty sound and its good looks. But i would personally go with Dual Apexi N1's angled out with the Blitz rear.

Something just occured to me... the Blitz back bumper sticks out quite far, and I am hoping that the DTM muffler tips will extend about 3/4" to 1" behind it. This is also for reverb sound issues inside the car.

My main worry is getting DTMs that flow enough air to be suitable for turbocharged applications. I know that two will be better than one, but they must have at least 2.5" inlets (preferably 3" and up).

Say, anyone know where I can get more info on 5Zigen DTMs? Their website sucks...

icjeclipse:
I really don't want to go with two N1s (I will need to buy TWO more N1s, as the one I have now will look old compared to a new one)... I also think that eclipse-wise it is too common. Personally, I prefer the "Euro" look to the Japanese look. Thanks for that link to speedoptions though, I wanted to see more pics of that car ever since I saw it in a magazine.

DAVE_FL: I don't really know if you'd want the N1 muffler off my car. The idiots at the body shop "accidentally" scuffed the top o f the tip with a sander or something... The inlet size, I believe, is 3", but other N1s may have different dimensions. The dimensions from A'PEXi vary from year to year....
Anyway, I still have to find some DTMs to replace it first before I sell it.
