exhaust question
i recently just put headers on my car and it is still kinda quiet to me, what could i do to make it not so quiet? i have mac shorty headers, bassani off road x-pipe, and mac mufflers. someone told me to take off the mufflers but i think that might be to loud, maybe a less restrictive muffler?

get some flowmaster 2 chambers they are too loud for me but it sounds like what you are looking for........also, do you have your cats? if you cut them out that will increase the noise as well.....and if they are still too quite just cut it at the muffler

Yea, 2 chamber flows will do the trick. you've allready got headers and no cat, it's all about the muffler now.

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

I woudn't think they would be too restirictive. But ya never know I have never seen the inside of one. I really think the biggest restriction is the cats.

They X pipe is more than likely why your car is so quiet. The MAC mufflers are "comperable" to Flowmasters. And Flowmaster 2 chambers are louder than 3 chamgers. The gutted cats may be quieting a little bit too, since they are acting like expansion chambers so far up the exhaust tract.
