I have a magnaflow muffler at the moment but it's just way too loud. Are there any universal mufflers out there that are 3", straight through, and quiet???
It seems like a lot to ask for but I just want to be more stealthy. Please post your opinions.

they are all going to be loud since its not much restriction
Im using the thermal 3" header back exhaust.
Its loud but its 3" with no resinator the turbo will quiet it down though!

Maybe try to use more than one muffler. Or add a resonator or something. I'm sure there are non-performance 3" mufflers like RV's and big trucks use. You could look for one of those, but that probably defeats the purpose...

Not only that, but have you seen the size of RV/truck mufflers? They wouldn't fit under a stock-height honda.

I looked into a 22" resonator to put in, but I've read that they dont really do much.

I'm even willing to loose a few HP just for a peaceful ride. I'll have to look into a RV muffler tucked under my car. Hey if it will fit then I may just put that **** in

Out of all these muffler companies you would think they would make a quiet muffer in 3"...the search continues.

Anyone else have a quiet turbo car exhaust???

just buy a turbo charger, that will quiet it down a bit

Plus being that they are not a performance design, they may only flow as well as a 2.5 inch performance muffler, but hey he said he wanted 3" and quiet. He didn't say it had to perform well or fit.

I do have a turbo, which is the reason I need a 3" muffler

hybridreams

which magnaflow muffler are you running?

3inch + quiet = oxymoron

exactly ... especially because it's straight-through. either add a shitload of resonators or give in and buy a non-straight-through like this Holley muffler (except you'd have to find one that's 3"):

Not going to happen. My 3" Thermal with "stealth" mod was still really loud and bassy. I suppose if you added a resonator or two to that, it would help, but it will never be "quiet" and still flow well.

I added a resonator to my thermal 3" and it sounds just right.

I was actually looking into Magnaflow mufflers for a sleeper look:



Also this:


Both mufflers available with 3 inch inlet/outlet. Curious as to how loud/quiet they may be.

what about twin loop muffler? - would that still be restrictive?
