do you know what the stock DB is? i might be okay with 85 DB but im not sure my boss would be.PEZi303 wrote:i have the pacesetter header into 2" piping up to a maganaflow high flow cat... from the cat back it is 2.25" piping up to a magnaflow muffler... its all custom piping
it runs 85 decibels at autocross events tho... so louder than stock
i'll try to get an exhaust clip up sometime soon
yeah i would say that 85db is to loud then.PEZi303 wrote:no idea what stock is... but to give you an idea with the bimmer 2.5l engine... my buddy's 325i is running 77 DB with the catless euro headers... and that's about twice the actual sound the car had when the stock headers were on
our club's E30 325i has no muffler and is at 83DB
you could pick up the thrush fully welded muffler from autozone, rather then just the resonator (i think that will be louder then you will like if you want it mostly stock)Supererogator wrote:I would dare say that mine is original. I plan on going to a hollowed out cat (test pipe), and then just re doing everything from there back with a simple resonator I pick up from the parts store and a touch larger pipes than are there already. I am not looking to significantly alter the truck, however a bit more air flow might give me a touch more power (never bad). I want it kind of stock. Also, this is what I have decided on after these folks gave me advice. Sounded great.
i agree the glass pack is no good, but they just released this fully welded 2 chamber muffler which is what i gotPEZi720 wrote:i used to have a thrush glasspack... it was ok but i had more power with the resonator... enough to feel actually
