Right now i got headers, bassani catted xpipes, and some 3 inch mac mufflers dumps. its a little too loud for my taste. any suggestions to tone it down? i want to keep the xpipes if possible because those were a bitch to put on.. what mufflers will tone it down? the quieter, the better without sacrificing performance. i was thinking of 3 chamber flows.

chambered mufflers will reduce flow, and they sound like crap with x-pipes anyways.

the easiest way to tone down what you have now is to install tailpipes and get rid of the dumps.

quiet mufflers are dynomax superturbo's, and hooker maxflow's.

both wont hurt performance at all, loud does not equal performance [burnout]

pipe out the back + dynomax and you'll be happy. pipes out the back with borla and you'll be happier than happy,...or at least I know I would. [patriot]
