I am wanting to upgrade my exhaust, but I dont know what different companies sound like. I would assume that most name brand stainless steal mufflers will give you the same HP & torgue improvements, but which ones are quite. I do not want my car to sound really loud. Also, What does a resonator do? (I am assume it makes it louder)

 

Are you wanting to do a full catback or just an axleback. Catback is the whole exhaust from front to back and axelback is just muffler back?

 

blitz makes good stuff, their cat back has a resonator and a silencer too

 

Catback=everything from the catalytic converter to the rear is replaced (so the header, downpipe and catalytic are not replaced).
Axleback=I think everything from the rear axle (suspension) back, basically just the muffler is replaced.
Might be wrong on the axleback though.

 

^ your right about the axleback

 

captain is right, but a resonator makes your exhaust more quiet, not louder.
And to answer your initial question, theres not really a quiet aftermarket muffler. Just dont get those ebay ones, those are LOUD and sound like crap (most of them do at least).

 

i am looking to basically change the muffler, not a whole exhaust system.

So i want a resonator, and any good name brand will give me about the same sounds?

 

You just want a muffler in that case, so no you dont need to buy a resonator. If you want just the muffler, go magnaflow. On our cars they arent the loudest.

 

/\/\ Yep Magnaflow rock. Nice LOW rumble sound, only gets moderately loud at higher RPM's. Mine purrs like a kitten around town... ok, a big kitten

 

sounds good. Is there a specific magnaflow I need to get for our car such as specific model number or diameter where it connects to our stock pipe?

 

#14829, can't go wrong there.

 

On the cat backs shot outs the Gredy EVO II is always the quiets

 

i have a reative and it is pretty quite

 

The Magnaflow muffler from RRM looks good. I think it will fit my car but I'm not sure. Anybody know if it doesn't? I know some catbacks don't and can't seem to get a straight answer as to what does. Tried looking at the bends myself and trying to compare picture-wise but that sounds like a bad idea.

 

Hey man i have greddy on mine and its verey quite the 1 i had b 4 made cups pull me over every time they saw me passing by but now thank God i'm done with them for the sound now we have the speed prob. lol
