I have a bridge port engine in my street car and the neighbors are starting to look at me funny because of the noise. Would the racing beat muffler quiet the car some?

 

What do you have for a system now? List all of it.

 

You will probably need 2 mufflers under the car and one on the end to get it quite.

 

Why would you want to quiet something that sounds as incredibly sexy as a bport?

 

The answer is YES the RB exhaust will drastically reduce the noise. May still sound loud to most. However, its true as above mentioned - you dont want to muffle out the sweet sound! Brap is what its all about.

 

I have the headers straight true a borla muffler at the end.

 

It's a tough balance. Muffled vs. choked.

I like a short primary system with mufflers, not as sensative to restriction. I made a header around RB specs and collected to megaphone ending at 3.5". I split this to dual 2.5" and ran two RB Power pulse silences for the TII. After that point I tried Edelbrocks and superturbos with decent results. Quieter really does seem to be slower with a Bridge. The main thing I noticed was using thick wall tubing to a thickwall primary silencer was key. After that you have softened the blow for the main muffler. At the back of the car a bit of the exhaust heat has disipated and the gas is more dense (smaller) so a 3" 3rd Gen RSR main might be a good choice.

 

One more thing. A lot of the noise comes out of the intake. A good baffled air box would help. Especially at idle.

 

i have the same exhaust set up. single tip? my neighbors look at me funny too.......i'm just going to try throwing in an extra muffler...... then a cut out on the downpipe!

 

Im running a straight pipe to a supertrap, its pretty sweet.

 

I'm about to put in a Kragen brand glass pack resonator, im sure the glass will melt in short time frame, is it even worth installing? I have headers->straight pipe->muffler now
(cost about $35 to install) & $0 for brand new resonator (stock 12A BTW)

Thoughts?

 

Glass packs are a waste of time. Borla XR1, which is the race muffler, or the street version works quite well and will hold up.

 

Get a good quality, long presilencer added to your system by a competent muffler shop. I have a s/c 13b and adding an aggressive presilencer made the perfect difference.

 

I tried those once, but I cut it open and stuffed it with stainless steel scouring pads from the commercial kitchen store. It sounded OK and lasted well enough. Just make sure you don't get the ones with the louvered tubes or say bye bye HP.

 

Just don't try it as a presilencer. I had a straight thru 3.5" exhaust to dual 2.5" edelbrocks. I wanted to make it quieter, so I add a 3.5" oval XR1 under the car. It got quieter behind the car, but a LOT louder in the car. That thing sounded paper thin and let all the noise into the interior.

 

how is the performance using 2 mufflers in series.

 

It didn't seem too much slower. It was still pulling strong past 10grand. A little easier to keep from over reving.

 

thanks. Im always open for new ideas.

 

my neighbors dont say sh.... to me i warm it up for like a minute then gradually go on my way

 

I used to roll down the hill I lived on and startup on the corner.

 

i can tell my neighbors hate me with my bridge. The exhuast isnt hooked up right out of the header, just pipes resting inside the ones from the header, and both of the mufflers are blown with huge holes in em.

im trying to think of what the best way to calm the car down a little bit would be. im thinking of using a 2.5" piping with 2 racing beat presilencers and a t2 muffler at the rear. i dont want to choke the engine, but i also dont want my ears to bleed.

 

i cant wait till my motor is broken in and tell those fu... hondas to fu.. off and take there cash like i have always done

 

On my setup I made sure to use 2.25 inch SS tubing and elbows with a 3mm wall thickness. It collects into a single 2.25" 22" long, through a Saab turbo muffler then over the diff into a RB Road race muffler. This is an all motor full 6 port BP with the regular RB carb filter. The thicker tubing made a world of difference.

 

I went 3" on my 1/2 bp, breaths a lot better, still loud though with Magnaflow for a pre-silencer and rear muffler.

 

The only two thing that ever made my bridgeport quieter without sacraficing power were earplugs and a turbo.
