Changing the end can will cause change in FE as the sound is an adrenaline rush and u will be redlining ur engine most times.. If u drive the car as before then very rarely will u loose FE... So u have decide .. U can contact Automech Exhausts and ask Mr. Ajay to courier you the end can.. Which u can get it fixed in any garage.

A manufactured tested stainless steel muffler is always better than a hand made muffler. Stainless steel one's use better quality of glass wool and are tried and tested. It may be expensive but will be worth it...

what is so special about a stainless steel one

i picked up my mugen stainless muffler for like 5500/- and the sound is not too much.. and lancer mania.. they look good on a car, its better that putting the show pipes.

i have the muffler from mugen.. the free flow I got it made. I am running headers and a custom made straight pipe. headers costed me around 5 grand and the straight pipe was about 1500/.

hey does the mugen sound almost like a free flow (almost).... where did u buy it from in blore and how much including installation etc?

let me know as i desperately need one sooooon. If the sound is nice and hollow and not very loud i would like to go for that instead of a free flow as the basic need rite now is the sound.....

Hi Aditya. I bought the muffler from prodrive in shivaji nagar. and the price was 5500/- fitting was another 200 bucks.. it sounds nice but not as good as with headers and straight pipe.. the sound will increase as u pick up speed..

Thanks for the reply dude... but are you sure it is an original Mugen? Shivajinagar is known for cheap imitations....

I'm looking 4 a freeflow exhaust foy my swift. I've heard that it increases mileage. is this true. i read it in OVERDRIVE (april issue i think). They installed Vroom FX or some thing like that. I live in eranakulam (in kerala) anyone know any shops there?

Raps · 26th May 2006, 11:21

I am planning to get Magnaflow SS muffler from ************* (Mumbai), Also planning to fit Xstream Universal K&N Air filters with free flow here in BLR for my SWIFT.

I have not yet decided whether do I need to go for Freeflow which includes stock Muffler or only go for SS Muffler without headers. I am still thinking of, Probably I will be deciding by this weekend.

well if you can control your excitement and drive the same way like you did without a freeflow, a nd if the job is executed well, you can expect a 10% increase in fuel efficiency.
just incase you are thinking of a freeflow with prime objective being better fuel eff. then i think you should stay away, as you'll spending much more than you will probably save even if you drive in the lower rpms.
