can aftermarket mufflers break? - 3/27/2007 10:46:02 PM    thunder_x Posts: 955 Joined: 10/2/2005 From: southern california Status: offline you know how OEM ones can break and have a hole on the muffler, then there will be a louder noise comming out of it. Is this possible with the aftermarket mufflers that go straight-through without any backpressure? or do these mufflers just go on forever? lol _____________________________ Project 91 ACCORD-193k miles All-Motor F22A1 cb7tunercom/vbb/showthread.php?t=108490 Post #: 1

But considering the abuse and effects of weather they encounter under your car, they will eventually go bad. _____________________________ 1992 Accord EX massively modifed H22A 2.5L stroker kit GT35R turbo @ 24psi 459 whp 404 ft-lbs torque (in reply to thunder_x) Post #: 2

RE: can aftermarket mufflers break? - 5/7/2007 3:27:05 AM    Nightbreeze Posts: 71 Joined: 5/5/2007 From: Washington State Status: offline I've had some trouble with my muffler, which is a Magnaflow straight through muffler, but I think that it is due to weather and a poorly done weld job. I suggest that if you live in a snowy place, keep a close eye on the welds of your muffler, because the salt that the road crews put down on the roads will cause the welds to rust out fairly quick, which can result in a hole in your muffler. Mine wasn't a big deal to fix though, I just welded the hole in the muffler shut again, and stuck the muffler to a new non-rusted hanger.  (in reply to thunder_x) Post #: 8
