exhaust...tone it down?
wierd, i just posted this...and it seems to have disappeared. anyways...
i have a downpipe, gutted main cat, and 3" exhaust. my car is loud. at idle and just normal driving around town it is annoying. i want to put somethin in place of the gutted main cat that will quiet it down a little, without adding too much restriction. i was thinking about a glasspack, but i heard the glass packing will melt. what can i do to quiet my car a little, and perhaps give it a less raspy, cleaner sound at normal driving speeds. WOT it sounds awesome. thanks

Put a resonator on the mid. Any muffler shop should be able to do it for you. Or you can pick up a borla res and have the shop put that on as well. The latter is more expensive.

Re: turn down exhaust vol

if that doesnt work, you can always try to put a new rear intake valve in and replace your steering wheel with a banana.

Get a magnaflow 3" inlet 3"outlet oval muffler and weld it in in place of the catalytic converter, your car will sound nice and smooth like a jet, but bearbly quiet.

Get one of these MP's (http://vrsexhaust.com/html_tips/dpipes.htm) with the Magnaflow already welded in. I have one with a DP and RB Dual Tip running Non-sequential and it's pretty quiet unless you go WOT. The Borla XR-1 is another (better but more expensive) option. If you get an XR-1 you'll need to buy a MP too and have it welded in.

i doubt a highflow would quiet the car as much as another muffler. thats what im after, i need to clog my exhaust up a little anyways, since ill be adding an intake soon.
