    Cool Lumheader Exhaust?

    Anyone heard of this brand or seen it? Not to sure to what to make it of it I kinda like it, but I think it might sound like crap with a CVT lmao

    First link is WAY WAY WAY too tinny/raspy. That would make your ears bleed after a week.
    I also think more than just the rear muffler and tip was changed, because doing just that wouldn't alter the sound that much on our cars.

    Pretty sure I saw a thread somewhere saying we don't even really have an exhaust... So putting something in place of the straight pipe is probably going to sound horrible....

    Since from the cat back the mirage doesn't actually have a muffler and is straight pipe, there isn't much to gain from an exhaust system. You may lose power with having a big cannon exhaust.
    Found it.. From Mistah JT

    changing the center muffler with a different one may not improve power, but it may improve fuel economy and definitly save on weight. the only reason to swap it out is for a better tone. i will be experimenting with the exhaust in the coming months primarily to get a good sound to it.

    That actually doesent look too bad and sound too bad either.

    I wonder if he removed the middle muffler or just add this to the existing. If he added this to the existing, then this setup is more restrictive - which wouldnt help anything.

    You guys like the first video? That hurts my ears :/

    From the cat back is pretty much pipe, I was told to straight pipe my car, and I replied it pretty much is.

    If that big circular thing in the middle of the car is a cat, that's one hell of a big cat.

    I think it's a muffler. Some mufflers are placed away from the tip as there is no space to put it:

    If you're referring to the picture, that's a muffler. Looks like a flowmaster and my lord what size are those pipes? They look way too big for a 1.2 unless it's boosted. Nice and clean though.
