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

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 high flow cat. It will flow better than a gutted stock cat, weigh less, help keep the environmentalists happy, and be quieter.

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.
Does a Magnaflow muffler flow any better than a high-flow cat? By the time you get done welding in all this other crap to quiet down the car you could have the exact same power witha high flow plus you wouldnt stink as bad.

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.
