4 cyl turbo muffler

Post by dfarr67 »

Have a Toyota 22re that I installed a turbo on, the original exhaust was from Walker and the muffler was damaged- there was a dodge truck resonator laying around so we put that on thinking the turbo would tone things down nicely. 4 cylinders have to be the most annoying sounding motor going and what comes out of this tailpipe is unacceptable- rather loud too. No cat, no other resonator, I know turbos don't like back pressure, will be tuning for 200hp, looking for quiet- will sacrifice a few hp for this, would the older style walker super turbo be appropriate? not sure whether pipe is 1.75 or 2.25 as yet, would hooker aerochamber or their other max flo unit?

I would use a Dyno-Max Turbo style muffler of the correct pipe size you need.

If it's the drone, look into a 1/4 wave resonator (google it)

My EJ20 turbo sounded like wet fart with a single resonator. Adding a large body straight through muffler to the rear (so turbo, resonator, straight through) made a huge difference to volume and took a lot of the rasp out of it.

Can't comment on drone, the vastly unequal length EJ manifold doesn't show drones as much as most turbo engines. Probably something to do with uneven pulses not resonating so much.

Haven't tuned it yet- so no chance to try cruise, wet fart sounds about right. Did GMs old corvair turbocharged mufflers work?

I use a modified DynoMax SuperTurbo muffler on my 4cyl turbo autoX car, as I still have a 150-200mile round trip to most events and I do not excessively noisey cars.

I call it the "super duper turbo" I drilled a handfull of holes on the high pressure side of the muffler (where it has to make the first turn and go around the exit pipe). Still very mellow and feels absolutely no different compared to the straight thru it replaced.
