exhaust silencers Options

[lagos]

just wondering if any of you guys are using a universal silencer on a 3in tip muffler and what you would recommend?

im not looking to make my exhaust quieter, but i am looking to restrict the air flow a bit. i noticed that with my ebc totally off, my boost creep is crazy. it starts to hit 7psi and it stays there under 4k, but from 4-7k it starts to boost creep to 14psi. thats a lot of creep! im thinking that maybe i can create some backpressure with a silencer so that the WG has less exhaust flow to deal with. i figure the silencer is cheap enough to give it a shot. im also going to test my WG to make sure its not hitting the 3in DP i have.

so, post some silencer links guys and tell me what you use!

There isn't just one solution. It depends on what the problem is.

Perhaps the wastegate actuator rod is bent
Perhaps the flapper door is not opening for some reason
Perhaps there is a leak in the pressure line going from the manifold to the boost controller
Perhaps the boost controller is faulty (a problem I had)

I am sure there are other potential causes that I am not thinking of.

that is a great response.....

seriously i doubt the cause of creep is a full 3" exhaust because there are MANY 3sgte owners w/full 3" systems that get 0 creep....i mean look at mr2s....much shorter exhaust and creep doesn't seam to be a rampent problem?

find the real problem don't try to stuff your exhaust to band aid it
