I recently got a nice looking stock S2 exhaust from another rennlist member. It sounded fine and looked great after cleaning up until I picked it up and shook it and realized it sounded like there was a few pieces of junk shaking around in the muffler. While I'm not looking to do any major upgrade, the PO of my car had a magnaflow muffler welded in which now sounds like it was taken skydiving a few times and hit the ground. I can flick the muffler and hear a slurry of particles inside all shaking around, so this one would have made a decent upgrade. I can tap on this and even hit it with no noises until I physically lift it up and shake it around. Now onto the question, is this one still ok to go ahead and mount, or with the loose material inside would I be an idiot to swap an exhaust which is obscenely loud and horrible sounding with one that might have the same problem?


Its a shame, I just got done spending a few hours cleaning it up, it was BLACK with dirt and other caked on matter and rust up until now.

 

ba dunk!

 

If something is rattling...it can't be good.
Is the muffler the same as the N/A? If so, I have the cat back from an '86 you can have for shipping...

 

Nope, the pipes are bigger on the S2s and the muffler is also larger.

 

I'll have one available in a week or so. I'm converting my '89 S2 into a track car.
Make me an offer and I'll meet you halfway or something. I live near Roanoke.
