exhaust/muffler ?

I was wondering if the silencer that comes with some exhaust/muffler really work. I'm trying to find a exhaust that is not too noise at idle and crusing speed, and loud at WOT. thanks for the replies.

lmao!

yea silencer made a big difference on my old a'pexi N1 muffler, but it looks kinda ugly. i have magnaflow street series and they are very quiet, near stock. no silencer needed.

it's this round thingy you shove into the tip of a muffler to quiet it down a bit. also known as a baffle.

i have a silencer in mine and it does a good job keeping it quiet, but when i want to be loud i just take it off.

Is there a company that sells all sizes of these? My Magnaflow muffler is waayyy too loud but the tips are oval so I don't think a standard size would fit

i dont know if they do make oval shaped silencers but i can look. all the silencers i've seen are round. you can try getting a long resonator and have it installed. that should quiet it down too.

Does the silencer cut back on air flow?

i don't think it does. the air flow goes in one end and straight out the other.
