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 |

Stock muffler will not work, nor will any other muffler designed for heat exchangers. Eurorace header on my car, which I am not ready and willing to get rid of and go back to heat exchangers. But, I don't want to have a headache from the engine noise on the road. I felt like I was just about yelling at HotShoe at Hersey.
under 3K, the noise is tolerable - sounds good. But once you get on it, it is just too loud for a street car. I want to be able to drive my son around in my car. I already have hearing loss from loud music and guns, and I don't want to get my boy going down that same path so soon. Zach |
