littlemanx23 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Yeah...I had bought this car with catback already on it (headers and what not), and I just don't like the sound =\. Is it an act of congress to go back to a stock muffler and it be quiet again? Or do I have to spend a good deal of money on a new exhaust system.

jerrodh Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'd try and just shove a silencer in there before messing with redoing the entire exhaust. Or try and find someone to swap you stock exhaust for your catback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlemanx23 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Do silencers really work or are they sorta useless? Any good links to a good silencer you know of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I dont really know of a "good silencer" considering they're generally just packaged with a catback exhaust. Just google it and see what you come up with I doubt they'd be that much. And yeah they made a pretty big difference. There was a crappy catback exhaust with a silencer on my Del Sol before hand, once I noticed it I took out the silencer and it was significantly louder. So if your problem is just how loud it is it will definitely cut it down alot. As I said it might not be the perfect stock sounding exhaust you may want but It'll likely be alot cheaper and definitly alot less work thats for sure. It'll take all but a few minutes to toss in your muffler and bolt it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamEj6 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 the silencers are fukking homo IMO. just find a pick and pull junkyard and get a stock one. it will be less than $50 i bet you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Think it sounds like ass now, just try putting that silencer in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Think it sounds like ass now, just try putting that silencer in it. +1. Silencer's just make it sound crappier and a little quieter. Even a stock muffler welded on to that exhaust might do the trick. As said before...a pick and pull could find that exhaust for pretty cheap though.

littlemanx23 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Idk. I'll think about the stock muffler idea, if that fixes it, then I'll keep that without changing out the exhaust. If it doesn't, I'll just junk yard a exhaust for it. Is it relatively quick/easy to change out an exhaust system? If so, I'm somewhat good at welding.

Blizzard Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 If you want a stock manifold and all, you'll probably have to buy a new one, because the manifold and cat are all one piece. Junkyards (in most states) can't sell used cats. Because I'm cheap, when my manifold cracked, I replaced it with a cheap header. The cat-back section of the exhaust is still stock. The baffles in the muffler buzz a bit when I get on it, but otherwise it sounds pretty much like stock. If you're in a state with inspections and whatnot, you'll have to buy a new manifold / cat combo, and if you're lucky you can find junkyard pipes and a muffler.
