Re: Taking off the Muffler?

Just wait, you won't fool anyone and will only make yourself look ignorant. It will sound great at idle, but any time you get on the gas, its gonna sound like a weed wacker.

idle= groooowwwwwllllllll

gas= RA TAT TA TAT TAT SCREAMING CAT WEEDWHACKER RICER BACKFIRE

Re: Taking off the Muffler?

Okay, good to know about the glasspacks, I still think I'm going to try taking it off. I mean, if worst comes to worst I'll just put it back on.

I reply to that with this

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little

But yeah man, don't hack off the muffler, just buy a good system. Maybe even do as suggested earlier and buy a cut out, maybe throw on headers.

Re: Taking off the Muffler?

So I ignored everyone here and took off the muffler.

It sounds awesome the low growl sounds just like a v8...until i hit 3k RPM's...then, omfg, it makes the most horrifying backfiring ricer noise. I have since replaced the open pipe with a Dynomax muffler. It's quieter but much nicer with less interior resonance.

Moral of the story: Mufflers are on cars for a reason :)


I guess my only question is, "how do i get rid of the ricey backfire at High RPM's, and what causes it?"

Installing a bullet type resonator will reduce the rasp.

You'll never get rid of the rice twang at high RPMs. If you want your car to sound like a V8 then buy a V8. Thats just the sad truth.

Abbot "It sure is thats why I'm doing a conversion from a 3.4 to a 3800"

Why not an LT1 or LS1?

I mean if you're going to swap out an engine you might as well put something good in >_<
