Greetings! Ok while each person has a different car and each car has a different care-history, we each can only speak on what happens with what we have done. Do not take arbitrary advice from someone who is merely speculating. While in theory their advise may sound like wisdom to the ears of an uneducated soul.

I digress; I have put a Magnaflow muffler on my 2006 Base model PT cruiser. I also installed a cold air intake and large filter and removed that overly large box in the engine bay.

There are 2 things I noticed right off the bat. 1st the throttle response and low end torque increased tremendously! The 2nd thing I noticed was an increase in sound. The muffler was noisy but tolerable, and when you punch it a beautiful sound can be heard. But lets face it, we have PT cruisers not 69 road runners. I want power and performance without that loud "rice burner" sound that makes everyone turn their head and laugh.

So as of tomorrow I'm installing the new set up I have fabricated. It consists of 2 Ultraflow dynomax mufflers welded side by side and connected with a y pipe. Should cut noise down by 2/3 and power output should remain where it is, but gas consumption should lower again!


Score; 2 - me, over indulging sycophantic oil jockeys - 0.
