You can weld in a resonator for the mid pipe like I have done, it worked a bit. But the best silence (besides a turbo) is a high flow cat.

Take it back off until you get the turbo on. Once you get the turbo on it will quiet it up.

It's really loud from inside the car... but not too bad from outside.

I have a turbo though.

I think you just get used to the sound. Doesn't seem loud to me now.

even when i first got my greddy SP, i thought that thing was LOUD. now it is so quiet, i can barely hear it. as someone else mentioned, i think it's a matter of getting use to.

Could be ALL my imagination but after I had my thermal on for a few days it was still loud, then I rode in Arts car with the same exhaust and his was alot quieter.. Like i said, may have been my imagination..

Well i've decided that my thermal is a bit too loud. It drowns out my blow off valve even! And i have an inline borla resonator.

Anyways, i've heard that some people have sent in their mufflers to Thermal to get them modified to be a stealth (they put some sort of restrictor cone thingy in the muffler that supposedly reduces the sound by 5dB)..
Has anyone here done that? I tried contacting thermal but haven't heard back yet...

yep 3" cat.. I mean it's not THAT bad, but i'd just prefer it to be a little quieter. Maybe if i dynamatted my interior so that the exhaust didn't actually cause everything inside to rattle, it wouldn't be as annoying
