Silencing the muffler

[Lucan 196]

I've needed to fix my zip tie held muffler for aggess now since it doesnt fit with the tech2 rear.

So i bought an aftermarket muffler, Powerpro Twin tip (think they're sold on TM), was all installed yesterday.

What i want to know is, what can be done to reduce the noise?!

In-car noise is quite annoying, and i dont like the boy-racer super loud car sort of thing.

I appreciate a nice sounding car but i may just be tipping the scale towards "LOOK AT ME"

Suggestions?

Cheers

You could get a big resonator put in the middle of the exhaust system somewhere perhaps, but it still won't be as quiet as a stock muffler would enable.

That said, I put an xforce muffler on mine yesterday (dual outlet) and its actually pretty quiet, especially compared with the stupid dumpy muffler the car came with

Have you got a twin or single pipe exhaust ? I also had a trademe muffler, was freakin loud as. I had the middle section muffler chopped out and a coby put in place (didn't have room to add another so had to chop this one out).

That really is all you can do, Swap in a better resonator or add one if you can.

p.s with a coby it sounded reeeal nice.

Yeah twin pipes...sounds like a coby somewhere along the exhaust should be the way to go.
