I am running a EruoRace header, and the "Turbo" muffler is LOUD. Ear plugs needed on the freeway loud. yes, it sounds mean, but it makes the car rather uncomfortable to drive for longer rides.
I would like to cut it off, and replace it with something a bit more quiet, but that will still work in the spot and allow me to use the stock exhaust exit in the rear valiance. Any ideas? Zach |

If you can make it look ok the super trap is a great way to quieten a loud track exhaust down on the street. Other than a cutout it's the only way I know to easily quieten a high performance exhaust. The fact that you can renove or add disks makes it the cheapest way I know to fix loud exhaust and also tune in some backpressure for low speed torque. Yes you can buy good free flowing mufflers but they are not inexpensive. You could just add a turbo and that will help at low speeds. The short exhaust path and under car room makes it kinda hard to get both performance and low noise. You might researsh the corvette exhausts to get some ideas. My 3.4 v6 fiero surprises me that I don't get stopped. It's hard to not get it over 3k without sounding like a harley with straight pipes. It has headers and a gutted cat with a open muffler. Until it warms up and idles down it is even too loud at idle. If I get on it I know that a cop will be able to tell what car it was just by it's idle noise.
