aftermarket muffler question
Sunday, October 10, 2010 2:56 PM
hey there

i got a small problem, i bought a new muffler that people say "vibrant" i good and pretty quiet, i second that, i have an 03 sunfire and i figured it will be half quiet but its very loud. i work about 40-50 minutes from where i live and i got to have something half quiet on the car but in the same time i don't want stock. so is there anything i can put in there to quiet it down or is there another muffler i can try? i been thinking about a regular Magnaflow SS muffler and just adding a tip to it. some people told me to go and get a cherry bomb glass pack or the turbo.

this is the muffler i have on the car as we speak----->http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vibrant-Street-Power-3-Inlet-Muffler-w-Tip-1045-/120456458588?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c0bc3b15c

i have no plans on cat-back or headers as of yet. just looking for a muffler that works for me.

I went from a fart can to a Dynomax Super Turbo and could not be happier. An 8 hour road trip made me hate that fart can

You can always add a resonator to quiet it down.

Just throw a turbo in there--that'll quiet it down.

I wanted to go take some new vids today, but it rained. Ill post them here tomorrow.

In the meantime, here's a vid i took in car the same day.

Its basically a casual launch where i hung out in 2nd to midhigh RPM.

Oh, and don't mind the crappy mounting. I just used my cell phone holder for convenience.

2.25" or 2.5"

I'm going with a Pacesetter Header, a Magnaflo Hi Flo Cat and a Super Turbo muffler so hopefully it sounds decent on my 2200

The Super turbo sounds OK...would sound better with a resonator, maybe even a glasspack for resonation if you like a little rasp.

Ive got a 22" resonator on the car in the vids, forgot to add.

This is a serious question, and not meant to thread jack, but why is my vibrant muffler retarded quiet? it's a 2.25" mandrel bent stainless cat back (factory cat and header), with the vibrant muffler. It's quiet. Has a decent sound, a bit raspy, but very quiet. Everyone else says the vibrant's loud and irritating, but I find it to be very quiet, and not so irritating.

I'm running a super turbo muffler, 22" glass pack for a resonator and have 2.5" piping from the header back. I'm not using a tip just 2.5" piping to exit from the bumper.

Sounds good, louder than stock at idle and a littler louder under acceleration.

I have a Magnaflow Street series. It was about $120 installed (muffler was about 85) and its on stock exhaust. It has a nice deep tone to it and is really quiet when you are at idle, but makes a decent little rumble at WOT. If i think about it I will post a picture of it installed and see if I have a video aomewhere.

I have a Ractive fart can (what can i say, it was free ) too loud for my taste but i love how the tip fills out my rear bumper (ls Sport) i picked up a 30 inch or so resonator so that should quiet it down to something i can stand (and the cops wont notice)

hush power mufflers work pretty good. not loud but deliver the power. what kind of tone are you looking for exactly?
