Muffler size issues and questions

Joedubs · 10-02-2009, 09:44 AM

First time posting. I'm also not quite sure where I should be posting this because this would apply to ANY gd afaik.

I have a 2005 2.5rs. The car is completely stock except for my rallitek rsb. My issue is that my stock muffler is too large and swings left to right into my sway bar bracket. I would consider just mounting the muffler in a stiffer way, but the exhaust is rusted out and I should run a new catback anyway.
Are there any stock-ish looking and sounding exhausts that have smaller mufflers than stock?

Stromung would be your best bet, but you still need stiffer urethane hangers.

if you want stock ish looking and sounding but dont want it to hit your swaybar, i think the stiff hangars would fix your problem if you found another stock replacement. used would be dirty cheap if you find one.
