Re: Blew up my Muffler please help
If your cat converter and your resonator are still intact, you can go without your rear muffler and it will not be overly loud but will sound fantastic. I just removed my perfectly good muffler because of a break in the exhaust pipe leading into it and I love the way it sounds. It has a nice throaty rumble under back pressure and sounds like a vintage Ferrari under power.

Re: Blew up my Muffler please help
I haven't purchased a muffler yet because apparently they are hard to find the right size. I have a turbo on there now and I went and bought another turbo with a 2.5 inlet which is what the muffler shop told me I would need. However, I need to find one with a center inlet not an offset inlet. I didn't know this and the guys at the automotive shop tell me the muffler can be turned around so that there will be a center inlet.
The muffler guys claims that the reason my muffler blew up was because it was on in reverse but I am pretty sure it blew because of it running so rich.
What do you guys think or know about turbo mufflers?

Re: Blew up my Muffler please help
My Fiat mechanic said if I was doing a free flow exhaust he recommended 2 1/4" pipe from the header to a high flow cat or resonator, then 2 1/4 to the back with a high performance Turbo muffler. He wrote down model # BR 91914, I am assuming that is for the turbo muffler.
Let me know what you find for turbo mufflers. I didn't have much luck finding the BR part #.

So I went to a different muffler shop and they welded her on there with no problems or concerns. Glad to have my baby up and running again. Thanks once again everyone.
