I'm sick of exhaust sound. Not that my exhaust sounds bad or loud, i just want silence. The stock muffler is heavy as hell and to be honest, sounds kinda homo with a Y pipe. Anybody have any suggestions for a stock-quiet muffler that's lighter than stock?

 

I'd go with the A33 muffler. And no, it's not the muffler that sounds like , it's that unequal length y-pipe you have on there.

Add a resonator for a smoother sound, if anything, but since that y-pipe is 'tuned' bad, you wont see much of a difference.

 

what are u talking about that the muffler is heavy?... it weighs noting... by the way a y pipe with a stock muffler sounds pretty damn good

 

17.2 lbs stock muffler vs 10.6 lbs for my dynomax w/extension pipe and 3.5" tip. Every little bit of weight saving helps. Exhaust sounds like azz with stock everythign besides budget y pipe. Don't know how you could like the sound, my dynomax sounds 43253245234 times meaner.

nmexmax-i'm currently running stock b pipe for a while. I'll look into an a33 muffler, i completely forgot about those.

 

That's...not really possible

Best suggestion is the A33 muffler, as NmexMax said. I had that in combination with my y-pipe and a custom 2.25" b-pipe and it sounded great. Not loud at ALL. Had a great tone, but wasn't any louder than stock (unless you floored it, because it's a variable-capacity muffler and opens up when you get enough flowing through it). Now, lighter than stock, I dunno about that.

 

get a hks sport exhaust, its not too loud and it has a nice deep but yet silent tone to it and all of the sound goes away after 3k anyways. its what ive got

 

How much would that A33 muffler run price wise?

 

You can get a muffler with a silencer tip to make it quiet.

 

$50 to $100 depending on how new it is.

 

Sounds good, thanks for the suggestions guys. This is just a temporary solution, as i'm planning on some pretty radical mods soon. I think i'll look around for an A33 muffler, and look into the HKS muffler(s) for my future project.

 

I'm interested in why you switched from the Dynomax back to stock? I have a 17747 Dynomax superturbo on order to replace my rusted original muffler. I currently have the Budget y w/ magnaflow hi-flo cat & stock b-pipe.

 

The A33B muffler flows well up to 7100 RPMs on a 3.5L.

So I'm confident that a muffler will not be your bottleneck.

 

i did the y-pipe custom 2.50 b-pipe and a33 muffler love the sound

 

Oh don't worry about it, i switched because i wanted a VERY quiet exhaust. The budget y pipe/stock cat/stock catback/dynomax sounds great. You'll probably love the muffler if you like sound, i used to but i just need a break from it.

nmexmax-im not sure if you're talking to me or not, but i know the muffler isn't the bottleneck, lack of flow wasn't anythign i was worried about when switching.


on another note, i just put my stock muffler back on, and holy crap this thing is quiet as hell now. I don't know if it's the 00vi doing it, but it sounds WAAAAY quieter than my friend's car with the SAME EXACT setup minus 00vi. The intake is obviously a lot quieter because of the 00vi. I'm glad i switched back to somethign quiet, for some reason i enjoy the car a lot more now.

just hit a possom on the highway at 70+mph, so my stillen lip is no more....too bad i got it used.......

 

I hit a damn truck tire @ 75 MPH, same story, lip = deceased FTMFL, mine was brand new and had been on less than 72 hrs.

I wasn't sure if you knew that or not (muffler being bottleneck) just thought I would throw that out there.

 

Mine was on for a good couple months, but still sucks azz.....but i obviously got revenge on that SOB though ....upon further inspections, my fender got bent up where the lip was attached, and a bunch of paint chipped off the bumper....
