Default Help me find a quieter muffler

I have a full exhaust and no cat and a fart can muffler. Cops wont stop following me around and already got pulled over. I need a muffler that is a little quieter and looks factory. Help me find one.

I junked it. The factory one will cost around $150.

Would this OBX one trick cops? And would it even be any quieter? I see it has 2 exhaust cores so more sound will hit the packing but at the same time its flowing double as much as a frat can.

^^ Those are ugly

Don't get OBX. When will people understand that eBay is not a place to buy car parts.

Just go to a junk yard and cut off the stock one, and weld it on

I have one. I drove with it in once and theirs almost no differance in how loud it is. I have 2 resonators and no cat. Fart cans look the fathest from stock as you can get and cops see the way it looksand know right away its iligal. If a cop seesone or 2 skinny pipes coming out by the bumper it looks stock to them.

I bought that muffler to try any ways.

Ya. Most ebay parts are replicas as in the same with out the expensive name. I find it funny how every one likes to talk crap about the ebay exhaust with out the dyno sheets. At least show some proof. Who cares if your $700 exhaustmakes 3 more hp than the Ebay exhaust. It dont matter till your doing top HP drag races in witch your probably better off running almost no exhaust any way.

actually i have seen dyno proof of both ebay exhaust and ebay FMIC and both have shown that they simply do not flow as well as true aftermarket parts do. And its not only the HP that you may be sacrificing. I have heard way to many horror stories of parts simply breaking from poor material, or bad design.

Maniac, how long have you had your headlights and taillights?
