If you have stub pipes, then you probably have a Eurorace. Same system I have, and it is loud. I bought a bigger muffler to weld on to mine.

That said, I bet you are hearing your carbs more then you are hearing your muffler. They are also loud, and right behind your head.

agree.gif induction noise with carbs and K&N filters is as loud or louder than your exhaust.

TRIAD just the right amount of loud with your right foot controling the sound

I think it's a great sound on my otherwise stock 2.0 and doesn't drone at cruise unlike many of the other aftermarket systems I've experienced.

Assuming you have carbs then that's definitely the source of much of the sound. I had a big-four with Eurorace headers for a while and used a dynomax or flowmaster muffler setup with it; very free flowing and not tremendously LOUD (but still much louder than a stock 2.0 w/ banana muffler). Again the Weber 44's added greatly to the sound.

Of course now it's at a whole 'nother level - Weber 46 triples on a six with open megaphones...

Could be......... I thought it was the wife! AA has no muffler for this header, going to have to look into some muffle shops local. Bob

I bought an 80s F-body OEM style muffler, designed to quiet a V8. Its not on yet, I am not sure that it is worth doing until I get the induction noise under control.

Get a "hush thrush" muffler at autozone.
You can get one that fits, its a oval muffler.
Get a turned downpipe for the end that points it at the ground.

Those two and either clamps or a welded on flange will get you alot quieter, and should be under 50 bucks.
