Tinny exhaust note?!?!?!
I just installed a header and straight pipe on my '85 7. The only baffle I have is the stock muffler. This thing is way to loud! It also sounds like the car is inside a tin can. What aftermarket muffler can i install to quiet it down to a more tollerable tone for daily driving. Can I buy one of those %100 stainless steel mufflers from the local parts store? I can see straight through them, how can it possibly work well? Any help?

I would recommend the racing beat muffler. Its not cheap, but it definatly makes your exhausts note alot nicer and a little quieter. Its not cheap (237$ shipped) but it will last a long time. I personally love mine.

Thats the good ol' weedwacker buzz of a headered rotary.
Ive got a nearly new,fully stainless steel Edelbrock muffler with a raw stainless 3" tip.It will last forever behind a rotary and its a straight through design that splits in two and goes back to single out back.It probably wont muffle as good as the stock muffler,but it should change the tone being large diameter inside.If you want a quiet,deep tone then the RB is the only answer.It wasnt buzzy on my car with a S5 turbo (which tends to sound like a headered N/A engine).It was loud but tolerable.
The Edelbrock is $100 bucks new for the SS model.Sell it for $35 plus a couple bucks shipping.

Are you talking about the round stainless mufflers or the ones you see on the parts store shelves? Either? This would be something I would have to order? Got a website?

Sounds like I can get a good muffler and hangers for about $100. I need to do this soon. I am defening the neighborhood every time I leave the house! Thanks for the help guys.

Make sure the exhaust fasteners remain tight after a few days of driving, too. Tiny leaks can develop at the gaskets after heatup and cooldown while driving upon an initial install.
