2.0 Maverick Straight Pipe Installed w/ Sound Clip

[wcfox]

Ive had a few cars before 19 sti had a Tomei Titanium exahust 18 fiesta st straight pipe and a 08 mustang gt straight piped plus a couple trucks and i like hearing my vehicles. Anyways i was getting bored because theres hardly anything out for these trucks yet so i went and had my truck straight piped for shits and giggles. tried uploading a 10 second video and it wouldn’t let me so ill tag a link so you can watch. i couldnt find any videos of anyone that had done it on here or youtube so ill upload a few pics and videos so you can make a decision for your self. Hope this helps anyone who has thought about it! Truck has 2,700 miles on it and muffler already had a small hole in it.

How in the world did the muffler get a small hole in it after 2700 miles. Mufflers should last years before being replaced.

your guess is as good as mine. Maybe the salt in wv from snow on the roads but it definitely shouldnt have been like that.

It sounds better than I thought it would. I just can't get over how bad that muffler looks.

That was a warranty claim. But too late now.

There's a video on the forum from a Canadian auto repair shop that reviews a bunch of stuff on the underside of the Maverick and one of the things he pointed out was a small hole in the muffler that was there on purpose because it's a moisture drain hole. If I can find the video I'll link it.

Sounds good. However I have had several straight piped vehicles and I do take exception to this claim. Did you also remove the cats? Because they also quiet things down quite a bit. Straight pipes have zero restrictions. But it would probably mess up things on these computer controlled cars.

My favorite exhaust system I ever installed was 18" long glasspacks welded to the collector on the hooker headers on my AFR headed 306 SBF.
If you look close directly below the mirrors you can see the bulge of the glasspacks and the headers infront of them. I used the car in the winter and didnt have a heater installed so I figure not using turndowns would help keep the seats warm. I freeeeking loved that car in the snow, people thought I was nuts!

I think it sounds great! The only thing I can't handle is the highway drone... Previous topics covered the small hole is a water drain hole...

How long have you had the truck that it already made a hole in the muffler

 

[Delzona]

I was wondering if that word would get a response!

That hole is there on purpose. It's by design, not damage.

Too fart can for me, should have at least left the resonator on.
