Quiet High Flow Mufflers?

[A//// Guy]

I had a resonator where the cat was, and then a hooker straight through muffler on my 1g and it was perfect, not too noisy, good sound.

hahaha hooker.


Have you heard anything about vibrant 3" straight thru mufflers i think they are 14" long.

I think below 650-700 gains will be minimal and if you are willing to sacrifice well it might be the key.

Keep us updated, I'm in need of exhaust and I want it as quiet as stock.

I should ask Shane about any data he may have between different cars with similar setups and 3 or 3.5 inch systems. I don't really want to replace my whole setup, but if it's the ticket, maybe that'w what will happen.

I did that as well and the combination of that muffler and the protruding pipe made the car VERY nice to ride around in. I used to get fatigued from the droning, but now at highways speeds, I can use my "inside voice."

I'd be open to it if they help, that's kinda what I was looking for.. someone today "xxx" type of muffler is better that a typical straight through, which is what I have.

I'll have to see if I can test something a little extended and see if my current placement is an issue(it's as far as the muffler can sit back, but maybe I can add a tip or something)

Yeah, I have a full on 3.5" round straight through muffler where the cat was, and an oval at the rear currently.

I think we did one on Bman's talon, it was decent.


Seems most everyone who had an acceptable sound level were all running 3" systems. Maybe it's just as simple as I'm not going to be able to create a quiet 3.5" systems with the 1g's space constraints?

Now I'll have to figure out how much HP(spool/efficiency, etc?) I may lose and what mufflers to try if I want to build a 3" system.
