MUFFLER NOT LOUD ENOUGH HELP !!!
i just recently bought a NaXoS high performance muffler and got it welded on last week and im not too happy with the noise it makes... im looking for a deep toned exhaust sound what do i do??? i dont want to just wist the money i spent on buying and installing the muffler though so is there like exhausts i can buy w/o the muffler ??? someone please help me !!!!
Cheap solution= Goto a muffler shop and cut out the resontor and weld in a straight pipe. Assuming that the Naxos is a straight thru muffler, this will make a HUGE difference in sound. Warning: The muffler will resonate very loudly inside your car now!
More $$ solution= Goto a muffler shop and get a custom 2.5" catback piping without a resonator. You'll be setting off car alarms left and right. I had this setup with my Apexi N-1 muffler for a month, it was fun but too loud for me. You could feel the rumble of the exhaust from inside the house when I start the car inside the garage. I put it a resonator and it quited it down and made the tone smoother too.

Muffler not loud enough
My answer would be to put on our WarpSpeed y-pipe, if you don't have one already.It will really increase the flow and will add a noticable H/P gain as well, and it will increase the sound. Our y-pipes for the 4th Gen go for $265 Aluminized steel, and $360 for the SS version. See our web site WarpSpeedPerformance.com
add a y-pipe
I had an arospeed muffler that wasn't loud enough, but then i added a y-pipe and hello sound, It is much louder but not annoying. Don't cut out the resonator if you plan to get a y-pipe later because the sound will be too much, and you will want to get it put back on.
Well...
- Either follow all the previous advice, go all out with an exhaust (Y-pipe, new Cat, B-pipe, muffler), or try this innovative and cheap solution:
- Step 1. Buy/rent/borrow a sledgehammer...
- Step 2. Whack the muffler until you get a nice, loud exhaust leak.
- Step 3. Return the Sledgehammer
- Step 4. Hope to high heaven that you didn't break or bend anything too badly
- Step 5. Enjoy the Ride.

i got a greddy but not the catback hehe.... just wondering if anyone out there has a greddy with a catback is that loud? and is the catback with a resonator? i really want to know..because i want to get a b-pipe too..y-pipe makes the sound deeper but not louder hehe..... and how much do b-pipe usually run?
You can fill the muffler with water. Let it soak. Just stick a garden hose in there. Fill it till the water comes back out. And then turn the car on. The muffler will make a whole new sound... =D
JK!! Don't do it. Warning about wanting more noise. You may get it.. and hate it. I drive lots of "sports cars" that my friends own. And cruising in their cars is sooo annoying. The drones. I get back in my car and love it. The quiet power of it. It roars when I floor it. It whispers when I cruise. =)
