muffler

My car is completly stock and i want to buy a new muffler for it but i dont want to spend a whole lot so i found some on ebay for like $10 but i dont want a loud *** exhaust cause i travel alot and i dont want to hear that fart noise so im just wondering how loud it would be to put a fart cannon on and whats the inlet size on a stock 85 GS?
Thanks
Aaron

I believe it uses a 2.25. Deter away from the fart cannon unless you want louder than what you have. Most people in here are using a Magnaflow or something custom or something equal that had SS wool. Thats the key with these things, fiberglass, steel wool won't work as they will burn out very fast and you'll be back to square one.

My suggestion as most will be, will be to find something of quality construction with STAINLESS steel wool. If you get a fart cannon, make sure it does, if your not sure ask. It never hurts to ask.

ebay fart muffler are loud anyways, i have one from megan racing and it is loud i had to put a 2nd muffler replacing the catalitic because it was too loud. im replacing it anyways with a maganflow muffler there some people here using them and from what i heard is a pretty good mufflers and they last. some people are using the brla XR-1 too but i dont know how loud they are. if you want a good muffler get a magnaflow or something with steel wool packing. dont get glass pack packing mufflers like dynomax or muffler with baffel like flowmaster because they are loud

RB presilencers are not all they're cracked up to be.
I have done experiments, believe me. its all about the primaflow.

Have you ever seen the magnapack? http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/pack.htm this looks like this could be an alternative to the presilencer.

well, just speaking from experience... until i opened the exhaust up switching mufflers caused very little noise difference.. the stock muffler sounded like the thrush muffler that the previous owner put on.. the apexi muffler was loud on other cars, but quiet on mine, like the thrush.. headers w/2.5 inch pipe later... grab some earplugs..

fart cannons are when you chop your stock one witha straight through your gonna get the fart sound without header or complete straight pipe... well thats my opinion... ive got a fart can on my car... put it on when i was 15... havent taken it off yet but i have plans for my new exhaust you shall all see the setup soon soon enough
