Help! Cars too loud
Alright, I'll start off by saying the title was childish but I'll take the attention. I have owned an 88 gtu for the past few weeks, and the previous owner apparently took more care to the loudness of the car than he did to basic maintenance. He left me with racing beat headers and a y midpipe. I'm experienced enough to modify or completely weld an exhaust (nothing fancy but you know what I'm saying). Problem being I can't find mufflers to fit in the small clearance under the car. I'm trying to keep it in budget, mostly find used axle back mufflers but again I run into more problems, people aren't willing to part their full exhaust or are stuck on the price. So, after my elongated rant on being a noob, any suggestions that won't lead me to a junk muffler shop? or parts for sale? Thanks guys

Looks like they also don't have the offset exit but the pictures only show the mufflers from one side.
I'd still be interested in hearing it to see how much the thinner walled pipe changes it. I was under the impression rb pipes were pretty thick.

Thanks it sounds pretty quiet really with a hair more higher sound about what I would figure the thinner pipe would add.
Gonna have to check it out one more time on something with a better say of speakers.

Magnaflo makes some nice mufflers. I use two on a 3.5 inch exhaust on a turbo BMW. The main thing is to get a straight through design. You can find them in center in/out, offset in/out and sometimes center/offset. With some shopping around you can find the size you need. 5 inch round, 6 inch round, oval, long body, short body, etc. Just takes a little searching.
