Ever get tired of how loud your car is?

Been daily driving Magnapacks with an o/r x-pipe for years now and I feel like I am in a sanctuary when I get into someone else's "normal" car that. I miss that.

Tempted to revert back to a catted setup and regular Magnaflows or something. I can only imagine that will be barely louder than stock, right?

Re: Ever get tired of how loud your car is?

Exactly why I ditched my o/r x and stingers for regular magnaflows. Still really loud. You could swap them for Walker turbo mufflers, those are really quite and inexpensive. Ran them on my Vic.

Re: Ever get tired of how loud your car is?

I've been daily driving mine and it gets so annoying being so loud. I have hands free in my car but I have a hard time hearing someone when they call and I feel like I have to yell for them to hear me.
I'm trying to get cats welded on my prochamber to help quite it down and get rid of the smell. I'm going to leave the stingers on but that's only because I'm going to it another car for my daily driver and the Mach will strictly be a weekend car.

Never thought I would want it quieter when I got it 12 years ago lol

Get real mufflers like magnaflows or something similar. packs and stingers are NOT mufflers, they're glass packs with a cute name.

Re: Ever get tired of how loud your car is?

I wonder if there's enough clearance to get some center in / center out Magnaflow mufflers welded in.

Lord knows my neighbors hate me. I live in an apartment complex and I'm one of the first to leave in the morning (sometimes 5:45am). Surely I wake up half the neighborhood and I feel terrible thinking so

I occasionally think about getting rid of my catted X and Stingers. But then I punch it and remember why I like them. It's a very distinct sound too. I valeted my my car the Friday before Christmas because parking was impossible. I could tell when it was started in the parking spot.

I daily drove my 01 with this same combo and a D1. I probably wouldn't do it now though.

I have MRT catted h-pipe with a Borla Stinger catback and it is pretty **** loud but sounds great.

That's great. I have an o/r H, but I've been pondering picking up an X pipe. I thought maybe I'd look into getting a aftermarket catted setup. We don't have emissions testing here, but my setup is pretty loud and will be louder when I finally get headers. Thanks!

Re: Ever get tired of how loud your car is?

When I put long tubes on mine it seemed quieter inside the car. It was almost like the loudness was behind me rather than right underneath the driver seat. Now, outside the car was another story.

YES, Looking for a factory H atm. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great but draws way too much attention for the way i drive.

I've had times when driving my car I wished it was a little quieter. But then I got a fix it t ticket for loud exhaust and put a stock catback on. As soon as I fired it up I missed my Stingers. I can't wait to get them back on.
