Exhaust is too loud

[v8powerv8jim]

Hey everyone,

First off,Happy New year to you all.

I'm looking to swap out my Magnapack catback for something a bit quieter,but without sacrificing a lot of power.

Right now the car has no sound deadening etc,at idle its loud & at WOT its crazy,the cops certainly dont approve over here in the UK

After searching Youtube sound clips etc,kinda looking towards the Bassani catback,will be keeping my O/R X pipe but will i lose much power going with the Bassani?

From what I have heard, Bassani anything is top notch.
On a side note, there is no such thing as exhaust that is 'too loud'

Ha ha i hear what your saying..but most folk here drive normal everyday stuff,even at my local cruise which has all kinds from 6 Pack Cuda to a built big block 55 Chevy..mine is the loudest!

I know what ur saying..... I'm sure half the time I get pulled over its because it sounds like I'm going way faster then I am.....


With an off road pipe you will have a pretty loud exhaust IMO

Meh. I've never ran anything but O/R stuff, and it's only too loud when the mufflers make it that way. I'm running Dynomax stuff right now and it's a bit too quiet for me honestly. Overall though, I like it. It's quiet at cruising and screams at ya at WOT. I have heard that Magnapacks are real loud though, so most stuff should quiet it down some.

I've also heard that Magnapacks are pretty loud. What about switching to a catted X? It'll quiet it down some and still have a nice bark to them

 

[v8powerv8jim]

Yeah i had thought about a catted X as well,but quite fancy a change in sound too,not just the volume.

Plus adding cats to an uncatted system will cut some power too.

Just switch to the Bassani and sell the Magnapack

If you were looking to quiet done I'd go with Dynomax, I was going to put a Dynomax Ultraflo SS catback on my car but gave it to my little brother instead. I've heard that they are a very high flowing exhaust and while giving a nice tone won't be too much even with a o/r midpipe. My Dad runs a dynomax cat back with a catted midpipe and dynomax unequal shorty headers, even with a 347 stroker his car gives off a nice tone while just cruising around, not too loud.

Huh. I'm lost. Bassani is not quiet. If you want quiet you should get magnaflows... those r considered quiet.

Not with high flow cats

Maybe. I like a good throaty rumble though, no matter how far away you can hear it

Not with high flow cats

True, or hollowed cats

It's the offroad pipe x making it super loud. I have bassani o/r x and catback. It's loud. I also have a bassani o/r x and a magnapack catback. It's just as loud, although it's slightly louder than the bassani at idle. Bassani sounds better IMO. If you want to quiet it down. You can add cats, change to an o/r H and get a slightly quieter deeper tone, get a o/r prochamber. Sounds awesome but it will quiet it down a good bit, or change catbacks. The bassani will quiet down some. But not too much.

honestly most any mufflers are going to be on the loud side with an offroad x pipe. the Bassani will be quieter than the magnapacks but they're still going to be loud. If you're looking to quiet it down considerably I'd look at getting a catted midpipe.

Thanks for your input guys..i'm not looking for it to be sleeper quiet,just less noise & drone than the Magnapacks.

BigBore96- Do you have any sound clips with your Bassani setup?

I do I believe. 1 with my Gt with the bassani o/r X and bassani catback, 1 with my 4v cobra, and I believe I have one of my brothers 5.0 cobra. Maybe. I'll check and upload them in a bit.

 

[OnyxCobra]

I've had Flowmaster, Bassani, Borla Stingers and Borla side exhaust with offroad midpipes, the only one that didn't drone was the side exhaust. I'm thinking if you want to reduce drone then add cats, that's my plan.

 

[v8powerv8jim]

After even more listening/searching online,i'm now thinking Mac Prochamber and keep my cat back.should work out much cheaper than a cat back to get it shipped over here too.

Dynomax Ultraflo's....ill never use any other muffler


Out in the sticks so sound was a bit more projected...this is 2.5" O/R X-pipe to Ultraflo's, 2.5" out past the axle with 10" 3.5" tips.
