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!! |

Another Magnaflow, on a 914/WRX:
(IMG:http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/paulillick/IMG_0019-1-1.jpg) You don't need as much muffler with a turbo car. It's quiet around town, nice on the freeway, sounds like half of a very angry V8 until it passes about 5000 RPM's, then it just screams. I like it. . |

Haven't heard that in my car at all. You'll get resonance with a N/A engine with big cubic inches, not so much with the little turbo four banger. That turbo chops the noise up pretty well. Around town the Magnaflow is great, low and serious, almost polite. On the freeway it's like my Volvo. But on the throttle and in higher revs you definitely know it is pissed off and has very bad intentions. Not Blue Cheer loud, but just enough. I like mine, but if you decide you want to change it later it's not that big a deal. Summit or Jegs have little 14 inch turbo mufflers with big inlets and outlets that would work fine. Put in a flange, change them according to what you're in the mood for, Saturday night or Sunday morning. |
