Quiet Performance exhaust?

**FuglyGTP** · 03-02-2009

I've got a full custom 3" exhaust with no cat, two resonators (brand unknown), and flo-pro mufflers. It's sounds pretty close to running straight pipes. It's a freakin mean exhaust system but when you got a chick in the car saying, "OMG my entire body is vibrating" (and not in spots she'd be happy about unfortunately), it's gotta go. ***** vs a mean exhaust? I think that's a no brainer for most of us haha.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a quiet performance exhaust system that doesnt hinder performance?

Thanks!

a cat and some Borla mufflers. At least Borla Mufflers and some resonator tips.

I'm thinking about buying from this place, they sell them cheaper on ebay.

forget the cat, put stock mufflers back on it. get them from Ed Morad for $50 and there ya go

doesnt a stock muffler defeat the purpose of having a 3" exhaust?

stock mufflers and a good glasspack in front of it are the only way youre ever going to get this car to be quiet and sound "okay".

and what's the purpose of having a 3" exhaust? do you have a turbo? if not, there is no reason to run anything over 2.5"...ever.

will at overkill suggested that I get a 3" cat back for my mods to go with his pcm. Is this unnecessary?

Unless your trying to keep the exhaust 3 in through-out or your high boost (ie turbo), then 3 in is useless. Plus are you going with a high flow cat? If not I'd go with 2.5 in. The 2.5 will bolt right up to the flange on the cat. Some manufactuers have a modded flange to bolt a 3 in catback to the cat, but they normally charge an addti. $20 or more just for the bigger flange.

there is no gain with it on a supercharged car. it is just straight up too big, thus making it louder for absolutely no reason.

now on a turbo car, where backpressure is useless and an open downpipe will be the fastest youll ever get, there is a point to have a big huge exhaust with no restrictions.

thanks for the explanation!

how do you like your pcm from will???

I got 3" exhaust it ain't hurting in anyway. I have more problems getting traction off the line with my small setup than anyway at all. That was before and after the 3000 stall + 3.29 gears. Its worse now of course.

My exhaust is decently quiet I think. I'm running TOGs, 3" Exh (no cat, no res), 2.25" Y-pipe, stock mufflers, FT Tips. I have 0 drone at any speeds. Its not mouse quiet, but its quiet enough to make people not suspect anything.

I am totally satisfied with the overkill pcm. I only drove it once for about 2 hours after installing it. What a difference! The only thing that I'm not sure about is that my cruise control deactivates after about 1 min of driving. Not sure if the pcm is still adapting to the car or if it might be a prob? anyone had this problem before?

I'm gonna stick with the 3" exhaust but put the stock mufflers on until they rust out (i'll give em 8 months tops)
