Ok I have had it, my car is way to loud. What series mufflers are you guys using to quit it down some. I have no cat would like it considerable more quit.

Look into Hooker or Magnaflow. Both are quiet at idle and cruise, but talk when the pedal is floored. Keep in mind the Hooker is aluminum and the Mag is stainless.

My vote for Magnaflow. Have a Magnaflow on my car, and it sounds damn good.

May I ask what you got now? I think there are a lot of people who would love to have your setup.

Excellent flow and mellow tone.

Sure it's an old mid 90s Series 2 Chamber flowmaster I dont know the model though ( it was on when I bought it). The rest is hooker lts, 3 ypipe, no cats, and 3inch tips this may be my problem, but I have grown to like the look.


I love the way the car sounds at idle but under power it's to much.. Sound may also be due to my power... I might have to go back to the stock..

Aerochamber here. Mac headers, no cat. into a flowmaster 3 inch with a aerochamber swaped in. Very quiet around idle. Jump on it and it screams.

I personally like it this way. It doesnt get to you as far as the drone, noise, etc. And if i want to be louder i just open my e cutout.

I like the borla sounds. Nice and mellow at idle and cruise but at high rpm's it still isnt loud.

Forgive the granny shifting. The only time it makes that sound when i let off the throttle is when i let the rpms drop all the way down like in such movie.
