Cutting down the noise

Post by CincinnatiFiero »

Well my L67 has a 3" mandrel bent exhaust (so be silenced you RFT trolls!!!!!!!!) and a summit glasspack muffler. I built it because I wanted minimal restriction and max hp. Sounds great. Just happens to be 80,000dB when it comes up off of idle. Any cheap effective ways to cut the noise down? I'd like something removeable for if I am at the track, cruise in, or just want to be obnoxious.

Do resonator tips do anything? I like the looks, price, and the brand name on this one (not LOL its hooker, but I've had good past experience with their headers)

This seems like the biggest drop in noise I'd see, but its pricey and the so called "street" 3 disk setup is $78

Ricer style seems like the cheapiest way to go, but I can't find a 3" unit only 3.5, 4, and 4.5 inches. I like this kind becuase it is adjustable. $25 shipped is nice.

Tips don't do anything noticable. Might get rid of some rasp, that's it. I don't have any experience with the other two.

The pacesetter glasspack tips will change the tone a little, but won't really quiet it at all.

I had Pacesetters on my car, no muffler though. It sounded like a freakin UPS truck when you were at cruise. When the Spintech muffler went on and the pacesetters went off, it sounded sooo much better.
My Fiero is now a Finale. The end.
