Just installed my Powertech PT1011
Hi guys need a little info here. Two things... i just installed my powertech muffler and love the look, and the sound till i get to around 2000 to 25000 rpms.....then it really drones inside the car. At freeway speeds its WAY too loud till I am over 70 mph. I have no other exhause mods. Is there anything that can be done? I was even wondering about lining the trunk with a sound barrier of some sort. The tips are well out from under the car. Also, I need to lower my car to eliminate the wheel gap....should i go with different springs or a coilover?
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

I have the loudest setup possible. B pipe w/ no resonator, straight pipe , Y pipe and the powertech....Its freakin loud. But no where near my WS6 or my Stang.... Its not as mean a sound as those V8's either. Its a nice growl. I need to add a resonator to it, to quiet it down, since it attracts every POS Honda and In-***ra to want to race , I mean get smoked by me....

Yeah your right, yours is the loudest possible setup but comparing it to your Pontiac WS6 is a bit diff, those are loud with exhaust mods, but its a good loud the kinda note thats just intoxicating when you get on the throttle. Mine is just too damn deep and at times I really dont feel like getting on it for a few reasons, first its a 3.0 auto enough said, second is the exhaust isnt the best sounding (id rather have a WS6 ) and third is that speeding ticket I just got 77 in a 40 I love the sound of a throaty v8, those cant sound bad with any setup you choose. The max, well thats a diff story.

Yeah keep the resonator, its a bit loud without one especially with the Y-pipe. I just dont know how some1 considers a powertech alone too loud! There is little change in the overall db level. The tone is diff but still I think

WEll I guess its a matter of taste. I really like the looks of the muffler and I can feel a difference in performance, but Its very loud at hiway speeds. The loud drone that even music cant cover.....I like a good sounding exhaust....but i didnt expect this much roar on the hiway.
