Default Too people without a cat.

I was wondering if their is any way to make my car not so loud,with out putting a cat on it. I hate how loud it is. I have a definate sleeper, but my exhaust noise just gives up my stealthness.

whats your current setup??.......switching to a chambered muffler or a larger resonator will help to quiet it all down......but itll always be more raspy w/o the cat

im assuming you have an greddy evo I/II??.....that has a resonator, and it is pretty big, but...

you could have a muffler shop cut of the "stock" reonator, and fit in a bigger one. you could even use a modified chambered muffler as a resonator, which will kill power gains, but will limit the noise........

straight through mufflers/ non OEM-style (muffler box + tip) = loud

If it is too loud, and you are running a straight pipe instead of cat, I would try putting in a resonator instead of straight pipe. If it is still too loud, sell the setup and get a Apexi WS. It makes no sense to chop up a nice expensive researched Greddy and hurt flow.
I have a resonator with an o2 bung welded in that fits where the cat was on my 5gen. Check my sig!

Just my .02
