Default Did I install muffler wrong

Hey guys i got a turbo muffler and i put it on. Seems a bit quiet. Is there any special way to put it on. Does it matter which pipe the exhaust gases enter and exit??? Can you put this on backward what i mean i guess is there an inlet and outlet or are they both the same??

Thanks Guys

if it looks the same as in it is interchangeable and it still fits then it is ok. there isnt and way that the gases wont flow through the pipe. if ti wasnt flowing right the car wouldnt run very well. it might just be a quiet exhaust. a friend has a turboed VR6 and his new exhaust is quiet as hell. if it still runs good feel priveledged. the cops wont look at you as often.

i will.... No JK i dont have a turbo. I just want more loudness!

Will putting a hollowed out cat instead of stock cat make it louder? if so how much

haha, the old punch hole in the exhaust trick.... its like yelling out your car window, pull my *** over!!!! if you want it louder, put in a test pipe, but if i can remember correctly my turbo mufflers on my domestic where quiet at idle but had a good sound at higher rpm
