Hey has anyone ever tried using a Hushpower 2 muffler instead of a glasspack resonator? If so, What does is sound like? Does anyone forsee any problems with using this muffler instead of a glaspack res? I'm trying to quiet down my Z24( Header, Hi-flow cat, 23" glasspack, Dynomax super turbo 2.25" from header to tail pipe)

Any input appreciated!

My boss and her husband use a pair on their 8.5 second Camaro, incredibly quiet.

better a delay than a disaster.

...It's hard to compair what a muffler designed for a V8 will do for a four banger, anybody else out there have any input?

Freind has one on his neon. About midrange noise level. nice tone though

Is he using it as a resonator or as a muffler Mike?

do you have a sound clip of your exhaust? I've been thinking about doing the same thing hoping it would be real quite, now you got me rethinking that.

Nah Sorry no sound clip...Just imagine every Civic that you've ever seen with a tail pipe the size of an open sewer...now make that civic smoke a pack of cigarettes and drink a bottle of Jack Daniels every day for a decade or so....end result, What my Z24 sounds like. Some folk might like that, but personally I'd prefer not to draw any attention to myself or piss off the cops around here... Oh and I like being able to talk to the person beside me in the car without having to shout....however I also like the added power of this setup ( Which did actually surprise me ) and so my delema...in adding the Flowmaster Hushpower I hope to rectify stated qualm....

My car on the dyno, 8000rpm, headwork, big cams, side exit, hushpower 2. Its loud as @!#$ and sounds pissed off... I wouldnt use it as just a resonator, far too much restriction.

Here's another clip... http://highrise.stampflee.com/~owen/dcfn0003.avi

This was before I built my motor... but still had big cams, a tsudo 4-2-1 header and the same side exit with HushPower.

Just the muffler...
