alright so a question for all you guys out there, so im looking to upgrade my exhaust to 2 1/4" and a new muffler. applications for catbacks is limited too trd and jic so i have seen.

i dont want the fart can. i dont want a raspy sound. i want a veeeery quiet almost stock sound.

any suggestions?

If you want quiet, keep the stock piping and add an oval muffler with multiple chambers (not straight through design). And keep the resonator on.

truuue.
but i have my ecu setup for 2 1/4" piping since i just had it modified to help my engne breathe easier cus i have intake and header on my car. so i changed the fuel ratios etc...so any more ideas?

Well if you're going to get bigger piping, the car will be louder than stock. If that's the route you're gonna take, put a resonator on (the longer it is the quieter it should be) and get one of those oval mufflers.

Look for mufflers with baffles/chambers and probably filled with fiberglass etc. That all causes the exhaust to be quieter if done right.

What kind of sound are you looking for? If you want low, deep, and fairly quiet, Magnaflows are what you're looking for.

Would not be my first choice for a real quiet setup, magnaflows (except XL Turbo) are straight-through designs, which are not to be known that quiet.

hmm anything else anyone can recommend? im looking for a veeeery quiet sound close to stock but if any sound very low.

Is this for a Gen6? The Borla setup is very quiet but has a nice sound.

vvti-me · 04-09-2008, 08:28 PM

its for a gen 5 and its a 4 banger. ive heard some stuff about borla too the mufflers look stock and it has a nice loow sound to it. maybe this is the way to go then?

while we were on the aero exhaust discussion i stumbled upon this.. looks like a series muffler setup that still helps the breathing but also dulls down the noise as compared to a fart can
