Folks,

Has anyone tried using a silencer on an Apexi W/S exhaust? Or have you ever used a silencer period? I am trying to drown a "Drone" that occurs between 2K and 2.5K. Will this silencer work? Or does it just lower the overall sound coming out back, instead of the drone in the cabin? Thanx.

Do u have a resonator???

 

yes, it comes with a resonater and the muffler. The catback is not too loud, coming out the back, but trying to eliminate the drone you hear in the cabin. I know this isn't loud to some ears, but my 42-yr old ears, it's annoying with others in the car b/c it gets worse under load.

 

That silencer DOES work.... I have a cheap Apexi clone (and I CAN'T WAIT to replace the entire exhaust) which came with the removable silencer. I know exactly what sound you're talking about and the silencer makes a whole world of difference. Go for it.

Their claims of increasing mid-range torque are questionable though. I've never noticed a difference.

 

Is it adjustable? Or do you just screw it in and let it ride?

So it gets rid of the drone? That's good news.

 

I didnt think my WS was loud in the car at all...and i had the resonator left off and put strait pipe thru....but to all his own....

 

It is NOT adjustable, you just insert it and it's secured with a small nut and bolt and that's it. It gets rid of the 99% of the drone.... at certain RPM ranges while under heavy acceleration you might catch a hint of it, but under normal everyday driving it's completely gone.

 

I would think such silencers should be standard equipment with aftermarket exhaust mods. I mean, virtually nobody likes the sound of the boomy drone after a few months.

Even good muscle car exhaust systems don't have don't sound as annoying.
