too loud for my ears!!, glasspack that is Options

[njccmd2002]

so i have a 2t engine, with a glasspack. too loud. Plus i am planning on going to the ncm track in ky on may 14.

i need to tone it down, as the track has a 103 db restriction.

need something cheap and small, to reduce the noise.. without compromise of flow

any ideas... a moroso spiral pack looks promising, but im afraid its still too loud,

Magnaflow has some race mufflers that would probably work. They're usually Amazon Prime eligible too.

DynoMax is your best bet albeit a little more expensive: http://www.dynomax.com/mufflers/ultra-flo-welded-mufflers

Then the proof is in the pudding: http://www.pontiacstreetperformance.com/psp/exhaust.html

i really dont want to spend a lot of money on this car. lol is it ok to put after the glasspack?

I have to measure the pipe, when i get home. It really pisses me that we have to abide by this 103 db.

Vibrant? Amazon has them for under $100.

http://www.amazon.com/Vibrant-1141-Ultra-Q...g_bs_15714121_1 Don't know how many DB it'll drop. Do you even know if you're over the 103 limit?

[Box]

It'd be totally fine to put after the glasspack, if you have the room the cheapest option would be to run this along with the glasspack there: http://www.amazon.com/MagnaFlow-18146-Stai..._1_1&sr=8-1 Or just the MagnaPack alone would probably do it.

Some other options:

Then here's a DynoMax for $75:

i think its a glasspack, id have to see what it really is.

[Bitter]

If the packing has blown out or if it's just a cherry bomb style (perf pipe and no packing) then it's going to be like no muffler at all.

Found a few more DynoMax mufflers:

http://www.amazon.com/Dynomax-24236-Race-B...s=dynomax+24236

If the packing has blown out or if it's just a cherry bomb style (perf pipe and no packing) then it's going to be like no muffler at all.

Yup, el cheapo glasspacks blow out and I wondered if that was the case. I bet the MagnaPack I posted further up for under $40 shipped will get it fairly quiet.

[njccmd2002]

thanks, ill se tonight.

So after lots of looking for myself I've come across something that looks promising, company called Jones Exhaust that's been around since the late 60's and makes stuff over here but is priced super competitively. They make a variety of mufflers, just about anything one could want. Here's one that'd work for you perhaps, the design is similar to traditional MagnaFlow and the DynoMax Ultra Flo but is a fraction of the cost: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-5-O-C-Performanc...d8X&vxp=mtr

Then here is their site with info and a cutaway picture: http://fullboarperformanceexhaust.com/max-...muffler-mf1224/

I'm fairly convinced I'll be getting the center/dual variation for the Firebird seeing as I can get it for $45 shipped versus looking at spending $36 for a MagnaPack then another $28 for a "Y" pipe, or close to $100 for a MagnaFlow or DynoMax center/dual oval muffler.

shame they dont do prime. Need to get it this week, i am just tempted now to go to the yard and get used one. lol. Just looked at my schedule, and im running out of time...

im not looking to spend more than 40 lol, yes im cheapo its just for this particular track place....

If you put a turn down at the end of the pipe so it blasts the tarmac that will lower the DB reading by A LOT since the ground muffles and disperses a bunch of sound for you. I guess hit up a junk yard and steal a resonator off something else with the same size piping and clamp it in, turn the tip the ground, and give it a go. Or as as the Aussies say 'suck it and see'.

eBay listing says it'll be here on or before May 5th for me, being you're even closer to Virginia I'd imagine you'd have the same if not earlier date. That or yeah, should be able to find something that'd work at a local pick n' pull. I know a lot of factory truck mufflers are straight through but are surrounded by so much packing it makes them dead quiet.

[njccmd2002]

i actually google the ncm track issues with noise, and seems like they are being slammed with a lawsuit. now i get it.

[Bitter]

Turn down for what?

[Box]

A lawsuit? Is there a retirement home nearby or something, that or a neighbourhood full of rich assholes?

no idea lol. its the communities around

[Box]

You can't tell me the track miles away is anywhere as bad as half the people that drive in and next to those neighbourhoods on a daily basis... Probably a bunch of people mad at life because they're stuck driving a Corolla until they die. All of a sudden I remember why I don't like neighborhoods.
