    Muffler tone

    I want to be able to produce a deep tone out of a muffler setup. I need help on what i should use. would a turbo muffler do it becuase of how much space there is? im goin to be leaving stock pipping for a little while. Thanks.

    it depends. you can get alot of different tones by changing 1 thing in the exhaust system. stock piping isn't going to produce a very deep tone as you desire. if anything, putting on a muffler alone will either a) do nothing to the sound or b) be raspy and farty. IMO save up money until you can do a full system, or at least a full cat-back. if you are impatient, buy a muffler now, but just put it away until you can get the rest. may i suggest a twin-loop muffler? check my sig for more info

        putting a muffler on stock piping will sound like shit no madder which muffler it is

        it will be farty at low rpms and raspy at high rpms...its sounds like fuck in general....don’t do it

        and no a turbo muffler would not help because restriction is what keeps the exhaust note quiet and deep. a turbo muffler has a strait-through, larger diameter design because on turbo cars the turbo is the restriction. so itd be the exact opposite of what you what

        save up and get a cat-back

        or you can buy a muffler and have an exhaust shop weld it on along w/ larger diameter exhaust piping

        that normally comes out to about the same amount of cash as just buying the catback though

        if you want to know which catbacks sound good go to the exhaust thread thats stickied in the performance thread

              possibly, but i bet it's hard finding a resonator w/ 1 7/8" piping in and out. unless you use connectors

                      in all honesty, if you plan to keep the car for a good while and you want to get some performance out of it.. don't cheap out. if you have to, buy it piece by piece as the money comes, and then you'll eventually have a great set-up. this is what i did, and i don't regret anything of it. i have a great set-up and get compliments all the time
