Hey all. I have a Buschur CBE with the bullet muffler, and 3" pipes. When I purchased it I didn't realize how freakin loud it was. Anyways... I've had my neighbors call the cops on me a few times, and even though it's legal I'm tired of dealing with the BS.

I'm trying to figure out a cost effective way to tone down the sound. Those not familiar with this exhaust it has a single muffler about 2ft from the cat that splits out into dual pipes out the rear.

I'm debating whether I should add a resonator in hopes that it quiets it down enough, or maybe swap out the muffler completely with something that will not be much louder than stock. I do have a HFC, but I'd like to keep that because it's too expensive to go back and buy a stock cat, plus I don't wanna have to spend money for a retune right now.

Any recommendations on a very quiet inline 3" muffler? Or perhaps a good 3" resonator, and a good location to weld it in?

 

Damn, your neighbors really called the cops?! That's foul! I have straight pipes from the turbo back - no cat no mufflers for about 2 years now and I've never had my ***** broken about it...any muffler shop should be able to help you out by just adding a muffler or resonator and if you've already got the muffler after the high flow cat then I would put it in between that muffler and the rear section...but from what I understand the only real way to shut the car up is a cat...good luck

 

Yeah I have some big dbag neighbors that ***** about anything. I guess that's what I get moving to a neighborhood filled with old people lol. I'll ask around at a few muffler shops I deal with and see what they can do. I'll probably take some measurements this weekend of the current muffler, and see what I can use for a universal counterpart. It was a few months ago that I put the CBE on, and from what I remember the muffler section was only a 2ft section that should easily be able to be duplicated with something else aftermarket. There were no custom hangers or anything like that on it, so I'm somewhat in luck I guess.

 

I was told to get a dynomax turbo muffler welded kind... There affordable and flow 2000cfm and can handle 2000hp

 

Keep it as is if it's perfectly legal. Let them call the Police as much as they want.
