Need to quiet down muffler delete!

XnogarD · 03-26-2014, 01:07 AM

Decided to do the muffler delete today, and well... It sounds great, up to a certain extent. Driving around upto 2500 rpm its really loud (alot louder than I expected) and cruising 3200 rpm on the freeway have alot of drone.

Any ideas of how I can reduce the noise level, im considering on throwing on some resonators, but not sure of the noise decrease it will provide.

Anyone with past experience or suggestions, would be much appreciated!

I couldn't imagine the ungodly annoying noise a muffler delete would make. OEM mod it and put it back on with Test pipes.

It seemed like a good idea at first, but right after I got it done and drove it a few miles, it started to sink in and it got to me, plus everyone told me its too loud, yada yada... lol. I'm going to get the muffler worked on again in the morning to see if I can get it resolved. (Sadly I no longer have my stock muffler)

I'll try and find an OEM mod locally for sale (hopefully) - worst case

Okay, to wrap this up, I went ahead and just bought a RPi axle back exhaust. Sounds alot better, now just need the midpipe
