Hey guys, I own a 2003 RX Liberty and am looking for good but reasonably cheap modifications as I don't fancy spending huge dollars on it while I owe money. I have been looking into getting a muffler for my car (something to somewhat enhance the boxer sound e.g. throatier) however as I am new to modding I can't seem to find something specific that I should look into getting, if anyone has any suggestions please do shoot them my way

A good quality oval muffler will give you a nice note. Don't put a dirty cannon on it or any cheap ebay filth. They look arse and sound worse.

Even better, find yourself a good Japanese muffler. A little harder to find, but worth it. 

A few brands to look out for ; X-Force, Hurricane, Magnaflow to name a few.

thanks for the response, from prior research and your response, an oval muffler definitely sounds like the way to go, would it be easy enough to find a bolt on muffler or would I more than likely be expecting to do some welding? Cheers for your response by the way

 

Also wondering whether or not http://www.carid.com...ore-accessories that would be worth looking at getting or is that simply a stock standard replacement rather than to adjust the sound?

 

EDIT: Would it be worth finding an oem b4 exhaust? I've heard they have a somewhat decent rumble

I've got a spare stock 2003 WRX exhaust system, has an oval muffler with twin tips. Not sure if the muffler (and maybe mid section?) are a match for yours though. If you're nearby you're welcome to come put your car on ramps and try fitting it.

Thanks for the offer andrew, that would be sick however I'm more so looking for single tip muffler as a direct swap sort of thing

should be able to find an NA JDM bolt on on yahoo.jp pretty easy, I would have thought.

Search for a BE9 muffler if you want a bolt-on one on yahoo jp

Cheers guys, yeah I didn't know where to search and just did general searches which didn't come back with a lot
