Anybody here got a Budget Y with a stock muffler and it's just as quiet as the old stock flex section...or no matter what will the car be louder than stock even with a stock muffler?

Curious, cuz before I ever drove mine with a stock muffler I had a new aftermarket put on along with the Y Pipe, so I have no clue if it's the muffler creatin the loudness or the Y Pipe. It's not a ****ty sound by any means, it's a nice, mean low tone and alot of people like it including me, but I'm just tired of it.

Also, I know about resonators...but if I were to use a resonator...wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of havin a Y Pipe in the first place or no?

REsonators do not reduce performance at all. The noise is most likely from the muffler. Budget and Cattman Y's are known to be the quietest.

what type of muffler did you put on. Your best bet is probably to just put the stock muffler back on there if you want to quiet it down. If ya like it there than a resonator is your next option. Or option 3 would be to possibly get a different muffler.

you have any soundclips at all. I searched the stickied thread and couldnt find anything that is similiar. Most people have test pipes or aftermarket muffler along with y-pipe and budget b.
