has this been done? angled universal muffler?

[Lesac]

Been thinking how I want to do my exhaust and I think i have a cool new idea but im not sure if its been done before. my idea is to find something like this

hopefully i can find something of better quality than this junk....
and pair it with this

(my car doesnt really smoke like this, i just wanted the added effect)
and come up with something cool.
I want the muffler to sit at almost a 45 degree angle to the rear of the car, but the turned down tip would be facing strait back so it would come out of the car strait.
thoughts? input?

Shit, I know there is someone either on here or CR with the turned down tip. I just can't remember who it is, but I see his build thread quite often. I'm pretty sure it's custom though. Lemme spend a little time searching for you and I'll get back to you.

Edit : Here's one, but it's not the exact one I was thinking of.

Completely possible. Just do it.

A certain Miata on here used to have that very same muffler.

Is that Matt's car before the change?

[ThatWhiteNA]

Yessir.

[Lesac]

I guess I was wondering if anyone had mounted the muffler rotated 45 degrees so that the round exhaust exits parallel to the ground, and not down towards it.
Thanks for the video and info so far.

[The Platypus]

Oh so not a turn-down, but a turn-sideways kinda thing? I didn't know that's what you meant.

[Lesac]

yeah like a turn out?
i made another fantastic drawing to show what i mean :teehee:

Yeah just get a muffler shop to make a tip for you or something. Shouldn't be too expensive.

[Lesac]

well im not really looking for someone to make me a tip. couldnt you in theory just run the cheapy muffler i posted above rotated sideways? maybe it would be too short, but im not sure.

[adamvanxxx]

Just rotate it then.

[Lesac]

thats the plan.... all I was asking was if anyone else had ever done so, to see if there were any pictures.

[adamvanxxx]

The dans creation looks pretty similar to what you speak of.

[Keep]

oh wow.

why dont you pave the way for everyone man... Folks are triying to tell you in a nice way to just do it then get back with your wonderful results.

[psulja]

Just rotate the muffler a bit and have an exhaust shop weld it on and you should get the look you're going for. I think it might actually end up looking pretty good; go for it!

[concealer404]

I think this is unpossible.

[Lesac]

Thanks guys. I'll be sure to post pics when done.

[Johnnie]

I get it.

[psulja]

I think MrMattman's is very similar

Hahaha pen on post-it notes is the next hot thing.

Mine is like your first pic on the first post. I did it several years ago to allow the spare to be put under the car.
It's got a bad idle drone. I added a resonator just after the cat to smooth things out.

Cool idea OP, I did this a while back on my Civic (EP3)

I recently went back to the OEM mufffler on my NB but I plan to have them weld on a stainless steel or chrome turn down tip with that sideways "slight upturn" deal.

[turbotyla]

i welded on just like that on vplukas's car. Look over on clubroadster for the so long gay boys build.
