Doh, did something I now regret

Well, I had an idea of how to re-do my exhaust to have a straight pipe out the back, but instead of waiting for all the parts and the time to do it, I got anxious and removed my muffler in preparation for the cuts that we are gonna make.

Now I freaking hate how my car sounds.. it sounds like ***.. its rediculously loud, and pops like crazy. I'll probably get a ticket if im not lucky.

I'll be calling the muffler shop tomorrow, hopefully I can get a new, cheap muffler for under 60 or so bucks

And I think i'll forget about my project and just wait until I can afford the professionally installed exhaust I want.

Dont blame me, im a learner. :P]

Oh yes, and I cant reattach the muffler because it was chemically welded. Since we were gonna cut the pipe again anyways, we decided to use a hacksaw to cut the muffler pipe. Damnit were stupid

This sounds like a "tastes great - less filling" scenerio. Or "better bird - better batter".

First off, not all cars, which are the same, sound the same with the same exhaust, to different people. Everyone has their own taste.

A muffler shop should be able to fix your problem. IIRC, Meineke (spelling?) now carries Flowmaster, and they have a crossflow muffler (part #389-42583 at www.jegs.com for ~$73), albeit more $$ there and installed.

The cheapest crossflow I've seen is the Dynomax Super Turbo (part # 289-17739 at www.jegs.com for ~$47), but good luck finding a local shop that carries them. They're not as well advertised as Flowmaster.

Let your fingers do the walking. (use the Yellow Pages)

I'm glad you realized that it sounded bad. Most people that do that crap thinks it sounds good when it really sounds like ****.
