Getting A Better Tone Out The Back

Recommended Posts

I built my own exhaust after the OBX downpipe. I removed my cat and am running 3" back to past the cross member. From there is goes down to 2 1/2, makes a turn and enters a flowmaster muffler where the factory muffler used to be. Out of the muffler is goes to the tail pipe but at the very last part of the tailpipe I have a glass pack right before the tip.

Problem:

Its loud, raspy and tinny sounding. I want to bring down the tone and decibles without adding a cat. I also do not want to go by the OBX system or any other products. I need thoughts, combinations, etc. Someone was selling a resonator in the for sale. It sparked interest but I just do not have the room.

Did I choose the wrong muffler? I thought it would be the best tone but I am just not happy with it.

Get the Magnaflow #14835 race muffler. Its throaty and muscular. My car sounds awesome!!! No Japanese fart pipe pole whacker sound here!

What else you got on your exhaust line? Hiflow Cat? Resonator? I'm interested in the same setup!!

your fart can sounds like my OBX... minus the farty hora. as for the OP... your mixin & matchin, glasspack with flowmaster. your exhaust is confused & the noise you dont like is it screaming for help on its identity. Larger resonator single... then if thats too loud or wrong for you you can always put in a cat (i dont have one but i like it) Obviously i dont expect the OBX to last forever but when it does sh*t its gunna be really easy to make a copy of it with better material. I got some tricks up me sleeve when the day my resonator kicks the bucket.
