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 |

I'd like the muffler on my Westy to be quieter too . . . was thinking about cutting it open and trying to install a mesh cage on the inner perimeter, with stainless steel wool between the cage and the muffler wall. Or muffler packing. Seems like that should reduce the noise without hurting flow too much.
Was also thinking about building a new system from the HEs back to try swapping in different off the shelf mufflers but yeah, where do you start? -Chris |
