    I have a highflow cat to a pacesetter catback pipe to a hooker aero chamber muffler with hooker dual euro tip (no resonators)
    sounds great but i'm tired of the rumbling messing with my bass, it's too loud now, I'm definaltely going to consider a supertrapp. The muffler is loudest between 1500 and 4000 RPMs, right where the engine is sweetest, after that the carb is sucking so loud I can't really tell. I conviced friend also put a Flowmaster 40 on his 4-cyl Ranger and it sounds KICKASSSSS but its more show than go, we had them put a dual tip exit in front of the rear wheel (it's a step-side too)

    Can anyone recommed a QUIET dual tip muffler for the 3gee that isn't too restrictive b/c if it's too restrictve i'd just buy a stock Prelude muffler

    I hear this and that about various exaust systems, how great they sound etc.. why has noone thought to post what their performance exaust system sounds like and let the listener decide which "sound" best matches what they are lookinbg for?

    well for one, exhaust on our cars is probably goin to add 10hp if we are lucky and a little less at the wheels where it matters. and sound is a VERY important thing as well. yes i agree performance is number one but pretty much any after market muffler exhaust is going to give you free'er flow than stock, but not all of us want our cars sounding like those tin rockets ricing down the street.

    No, you wont gain 10hp with just a muffler. Or a cat back for that sake.

    thats why i said "exhaust" not muffler! when most people upgrade the exhaust they go with a new header, pipes, and muffler, and YES after all that you as i said might get 10hp, probably less at the wheels.

    I was wondering the same thing, but from what i've been told, reducing the noise reduces flow which hinders performance.

    my borla was fairly quiet, i could hardly hear it over the engine noise. but outside the car it sounded great, low and smooth like i said before, but not loud at all.

    I can't buy the remus anymore so I'm going to try a Magnaflow 14815 or 14862. If that is too loud I will put a 14415 ( 4inch round muffler) where the resonator should be.

    Re: New header?

    What is the deal with these turbo mufflers I have been hearing about. Do they actually help your exhaust perform better.

    Turbo Mufflers?

    I think you are talking about the Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler
    people have been using to replace the Monza/Pacesetter Muffler when they buy the Pacesetter Cat-Back.

    Re: New header?

    Yeah, that one. Is there anything "turbo" about it or is that just a name? Just a regular performance muffler?

    Re: New header?

    the turbo mufflers are fairly quiet compared to what we like to call "fart cans". thats because the provide more back pressure with better designed internals instead of just being a strait through glass pack. my friend has dynomax turbo mufflers on his '70 dodge challenger. they work well making adequite back pressure instead of letting it flow too much. that's why you hear back fires like when you let of the gas for a shift or something of that nature with open mufflers. my exhaust does it. as for the name "turbo muffler" i think its mainly because people use them on turboed cars so they have good exhaust flow but keep some back pressure.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™
