BlueDevil Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'm interested in a set of fairly quiet mufflers for my 05 LGT wagon. I'm looking for a little sound because we all know how sweet the boxer sounds, but my wife rides with me a lot and may drive on occasion, so I want to keep it subdued. Thanks!!

Waxiboy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Prodrive will be fairly quiet on a stock UP & DP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmundu Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 This is a perfect scenario for a "Muffler Labotomy"! Cheap, low key, and still gives a little tone. You can even just buy another set of stocker's, and save your original's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VXCL Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 3" Downpipe with a 3" Y pipe and stock mufflers running this setup now. purrs a little more at idle, but is only slightly louder then 3"dp with stock mid and y. No one has been able to tell the difference. The engine, turbo, and gear whine are louder. definitely does not sound like any aftermarket exhuast so I would think you would be unhappy. also backfiring is easier and more common, but you can avoid that by keeping the revs down under no load.

Boostjunkie Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 IMHO, if you keep the stock DP and midpipe just about any set of mufflers is pretty mild. If you are looking for a bit more sound on the cheap then just get a muffler shop to weld up a couple Magnaflows with some tips you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VXCL Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 IMHO, if you keep the stock DP and midpipe just about any set of mufflers is pretty mild. If you are looking for a bit more sound on the cheap then just get a muffler shop to weld up a couple Magnaflows with some tips you like. seriously the cobb dp my far made the most noticable change in the way the my lgt sounds- turbo whine, waste gate, recirc, exhuast tone. so installing the perrin mid and y later on didn't really change anything. like i said earlier the engine, turbo noises, and gear whine are louder then the exhaust. if i changed the mufflers then that would change and the exhaust would be louder. hope that helps. oh yeah the shiny bling under the rear of the car looks nice peace MAYHEM #122/22 STS NNJR SCCA AUTOX4U.COM XENON RETRO GUIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 While I certainly believe that a catback should be a functional performance part and the one I helped develop certainly is, there are others who look at it as a cosmetic and audible mod. That's fine with me too. Looks and sound can be just as important to some people and if a pretty exhaust that sounds good makes them happy there's nothing wrong with that.

automaticsti Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 whats the point in spending on a catback if it doesnt give you performance, but only the illusion of performance? ditching the stock y pipe will give u 7 HP and retaining the stock mufflers proabably dosnt result in any adverse performance effects..but retains the stock sleeperness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 AFAIK no one has dynoed the Perrin Y-pipe or any other replacement y-pipe, so I have no idea where the "7 hp" figure is coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIU Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 if a catback from lets say Greddy is about 850...muffler..Y-pipe and all...... why would a Y-pipe alone from Perrin or AVO sell btw 450-700?! And all along i was planning to purchase the AVO type 2 mufflers.....now if i want to convert that into a catback i would have to pay $700 to AVO on top of the $680 for the muffler alone?
