The first one will be obviously less loud! And I think it looks better

the problem with ALL of those mufflers is....that the tip is a larger size than the outlet and acts like a megaphone making them louder. dont beleive me? stick a little peice of pipe matched to the outlet size into the outlet and have a friend rev it.

So i got the muffler, spent 2 hours! at the exhaust shop waiting for the guy to bend up the new piping to get over the rear cross member. Only pic i have for now, ill try and post a video.
 It sounds soooo nice. very low tone. Sounds kinda like the stock STI exhaust. all its missing now is the sound of a turbo...*hint hint*..lol |

Im gonna take a quick video in a few mintues and post it QUOTE(Shocker @ Jul 14, 2006 - 4:05 AM) [snapback]456050[/snapback] would that be a good choice for a turbo application? They have some similar mufflers that have 3" inlets aswell, just mine was 2.5" |
