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 |

Does anyone use one of these Phase 9 or Phase 1 silencers on their street car?

Does anyone use one of these Phase 9 or Phase 1 silencers on their street car? Too loud for a street car. One of my customers who bought a race header for his track/AX car just finished the installation and drove the car to an event last weekend. He is already asking for a quieter muffler for days he wants to drive on the street. I used to make the street and race headers interchangeable with the street and race mufflers but it was really challenging to get the pipes to end at a common point on both layouts. That, and no one ever asked for a race header with a street muffler or vice versa. Now I have to look at designing a quieter muffler for the race header since I don't really like the idea of putting a supertrapp tip on a Stage I Silencer to control the loudness. Other than OEM, I think my street mufflers are the quietest available, and they don't create any undesirable backpressure. |
