Added Long Tubes now it's way too loud
I had MACs on my stock exhaust and it was just about right. I just added JBA Long Tube Headers
and JBA Catted H and the MACS are now way too loud, I put the stock Mufflers back on to quiet
down the car. Well it's been a few weeks abd I am board with the quiet sound. I want to step it up a
notch or 2. so what muflers would do that?
I am thinking Magnaflows, GTA's or pypes
I am looking for a low rumble not too loud but noticable.

RE: Added Long Tubes now it's way too loud
Suprised with the catted H it's still too loud. I had the Pypes mid-muffler setup with stock H & cats on mine. Sounded good, but I wanted LT's. I'm old school. LT's & straight H(no cats) with the mid-mufflers was way too much for me as well. I only kept that on for 1 week. I now have the LT's, straight H,factory over-axle & GTA's. It's quite a bit louder than stock, but newhere as loud as with the mid-mufflers. I do get a raspy tone above 3-5K but it doesn't bother me. What I've always likes about the GTA's is NO drone. Been there, I'll take the raspy tone over drone anyday.
Have a few vids on youtube, here's the last with my current setup;

I have the JBA L/T headers and Catted H mid pipe with the Pypes mid muffler and they were too loud. So far I've heard a lot of good things about the Magnaflows and GTA's. I think I going to try the Magnaflows after I get my mm sold

RE: Added Long Tubes now it's way too loud
Yeah , you are stuck with a quieter muffler to keep the level in check, I got SLP LT headers and MAC axelbacksand it is loud but very deep, not obnoxious SLP loudmouth or O/R pipe loud but you can hear me coming !!! lol
Here is a clip with my set-up, probably too loud for you, I say go with the GTAs or Magnaflows.

RE: Added Long Tubes now it's way too loud
What about adding resonators? I added them to my obnoxiously loud Bassani SS Race/Pypes O/R H pipe set up and it is still a deep rumble but not crazy loud.

RE: Added Long Tubes now it's way too loud
I have JBL long tubes with cut out cats to Xpipe back into magnaflow... it is VERY loud but you can just feather the gas and it goes stealth its kinda weird... if your worried about the cops, been rididng around with mine now for just over a week and the cops havnt seemd to care much.
BTW Magnaflow Sounds good.

RE: Added Long Tubes now it's way too loud
I have the magnaflows with longtubes and a catless x. It has an amazing sound when you are at WOT or just gasing it a little. It still stays quite though when at an idle. Its very "sleeperish" for our cars although there really isnt anything sleeper about our S197's... Again, people have been asking for clips. I just recorded the video and I am running into trouble uploading it onto youtube. Its only a 21 second clip, but I will post a thread once I get it up.
