Right now i have a LONG glasspack and a short one that is around the bend heading to the stock location. 2 glasspacks. It is fairly quiet when idle and lower RPM and when i get on it.....The resonance is a little too annoying. But from what i have hear from friends is that it sounds AWESOME when passed.
I know i know, i love the sound too, but i am trying to make this car the most user friendly too. So...question is. What muffler can make my car quiet but flows. 2.0 Turbo EJ20 Subaru TD05 turbo. Subaru stock STI airbox with K&N (that muffled it quite a bit) thanks guys!! |

Backpressure is not what you want on a turbo car. All the high performance exhausts for suby's are straight through exhaust with a chamber around the through tube. Like a supressor on a gun.
On the suby the exhaust is long and that helps but the 914 has a very short exhaust length and thats where the challange lies. You might try a super trap as they are adjustable with the diffuser disks and can be easily changed. I don't see how a turbo suby can be quiet in a 914 and still give good performance. I will use the biggest two or three chamber ss 2.5 in muffler I can squeeze in and just live with what sound it makes. |
