OEM or quiet muffler

So I'm currently running a 3" to 4" can on a straight through 3" turbo back exhaust and it sounds good but drones a bit much in the cold mornings and on the highway. I am looking for anything that is quiet in the 3" inlet side of life. Thanks!

Re: OEM or quiet muffler

To be reasonably quiet, you need a good muffler and a big resonator. I bought a new muffler this winter to quiet mine down a lot, but it's still straight 3" through.

Will it fit along side my driveshaft? or where does it go? I am interested in this for sure.

Yea makes sense, I'll be looking more at that setup I think.

Lol, Ben my neighbors and my headaches would certainly advocate otherwise but if that were possible I'd say bumper dump or side pipe...

Re: OEM or quiet muffler

Yes, I have a 24" long, 5" diameter muffler right where the car went. It's a tight fit, but it doesn't rub on anything. I had a Thermal Research muffler in the back, but it's a little loud for my taste. I've got a new Vibrant on the floor next to it, now that it's warmed up a bit, I'll get out there and weld it in.

Ahhh I see. Well I'll take a look and do some measurements and see what I can squeeze in.

Re: OEM or quiet muffler

I like my open dump. With a big enough turbo its only mega obnoxious when you want it to be.
