Well after 6 months of the aftermarket rumbling muffler I decided to go back to the stock muffler. THe aftermarket was fine but as many of you know when it is coupled with a Y things can get NOISY I honestly feel more connected to the car now, the intake still keeps things interesting but I like the stealth aspect of the car now. It only makes noise when I am WOT.

I drive 90 miles round trip most of which are in traffic and the resonance and droan was a bit much. For those of you thinking about doing it, you will not be dissapointed. I forgot how quiet the VQ can be.

 

no loss in power, right?

 

BUTT DYNO says no loss.

 

So it would be wise to just forget about getting an aftermarket muffler just for sound if your just gonna get tired of it after a few months?

 

What after market muffler did you have on there before?

 

Hey pat, The muffler is great. At first I thought it was way to loud, but then it either got quieter, or I got used to it. I can't wait till I get my Y-pipe. Thanks again.

It is the universal muffler that "SHAWDOW" sells.

 

Yeah Mike it sounds perfect NOW wait till you get the Y PIPE The muffler looks good on your car.


Later

 

how do you like the sound pat?

 

yeah I'll never get another kind of muffler.

 

The sound is good and when I wanna make some noise I go WOT the intake delivers. I am no longer the guy sitting in traffic the "needs a muffler" I actually had someone tell me that.

 

I just went back to stock too cuz i was having fitment problems with my aerokit.....I forgot how quiet the maxiam was and I definitely feel
more "in tuned" to the car as well.

I like in quiet but I miss having an aftermarket exhaust......
Soooooo.....I just ordered the Greddy Evo and it should be here
by Thursday!!! Got a great price too...only $515 shipped!!

 

I put my stock muffler back on for a month, removing my stillen, and i hated it. I stalled it a few times, slipped the clutch/revved it too high when shifting, all that ish. I put my stillen back on and i can once again drive perfectly...i NEED the noise, i don't look at the gauges much when i drive, i tell by which gear/how loud
