Recommended Posts

Sold the car to my dad, he says the glasspacks are TOO loud. He wants to quiet the car down, but still have some exhaust sound.

 

What mufflers would you guys do?

 

I suggested Flowmaster 40's different tips......Any suggestions?

You youngsters have to understand that......as one ages their eyes may get worse, but, ones hearing improves dramatically.

So, what noise level you consider to be acceptable, we find very difficult to live with. :lol: :D

I assume that, like me, he wants to be able to hear himself think while driving?...:biggrin:

Have you considered the stock aftermarket mufflers?

:lol: @ flowmaster 40s for quest operation :lol:

 

just get a set of oe replacement mufflers welded up and call it a day? probably the cheapest option.

So far....yup. It's looking like stock replacement.

the Magnaflows I have on my Ford are pretty quiet until you lay into it. Then they can get throaty...but it's still possible to idle down the street and not sound deafening.

magna flows seem to drone with the lq1 so i wouldnt recommend them for someone that wants to quite down

OMG yes. Especially with no cat or res. Last time I drove my CS I sat there for a brief moment and thought to myself this car is really loud.

Was just going to suggest that....but matt beat me to it. lol. It's a nice, mellow sound. Better than stock, but not obnoxious. That car being a 96 it would be a tad quieter because of the factory resonator before the mufflers.

Well turns out, Walker makes the stock exhaust for the car, and there are 2 types of exhaust there is ''Quiet Flow'' and ''SoundFX''. My dad opted for the SoundFX since he wanted a little more acoustics from the car. Will appear stock.

^ That's quite true, the Quiet-Flows are Walkers mainstream direct fit full lifetime warranty items & the Soundfx items are the *installers* line, I believe they still have a one year warranty on them.

Been a few weeks, how does this sound? Any exhuast clips?

It's still been put on the back burner. In fact, so long so, that I believe it will keep the glasspacks. So that makes me happy.
