Silent exhaust

I'm just wondering if anybody would know the best way to make the exhaust as quiet as possible. I really don't know what could be done besides multiple mufflers.

Re: Silent exhaust

I just did exhaust on my car, used hooker headers into the factory exhaust with factory muffler, it is pretty quiet.

Re: Silent exhaust

Check with your local muffler shop they should have some idea of what to do. I was wanting to make mine quiet when i put the twin turbos on then put exhaust cutouts to open it when i want to make it loud. Scare some racers at the intersection. Let em here it quiet then open her up.

Re: Silent exhaust

Dynomax would probably be the quietest after stock. Then maybe the Aerochamber.

Re: Silent exhaust

Scary quiet exhaust is the Hooker Maximum flow muffler, it's single in, single out, and flows the same as open pipe.

If you can live with single in/single out, it's the way to go.

Without a cat it was as quiet as stock muffler with stock cat. With a cat, which i've never tired/heard is probably inaudible.

Re: Silent exhaust

you could go headers into y pipe, cat delete, and run a long glasspack to the axle, then do the hooker max flow.
i guess its not a good idea to ask, but why do you want it quiet

yeah I would imagine even a bullet in the i pipe would quiet it down substantially. Also remember that the more pipe you have after the muffler the quieter it is

Re: Silent exhaust

Smaller tubes resonate less. Does the exhaust need to perform well?
