So not exactly G-Body, but the 4x4 scene doesn't know so I figured I'd ask here. It's for my Jeep, but yeah, exhaust is exhaust.
I'm running a Pypes 2.5" inlet/outlet 4" OD 14" long straight through muffler. Seen here: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/PYE-MVR200S
It was cheap, stainless, and it fit, so it's what I bought. However, it's loud. Really loud. And it drones badly. My hearing is damaged already, some of it occupational, some of it recreational. I'd rather not make it dramatically worse.
So is there anything of a similar size/form factor that isn't actually straight though? Or will actually reduce the noise level significantly?
The Borla 40842S looked promising: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bor-40842s
But I'm not sure if it's actually baffled in the sense that it isn't a straight through design.
What sort of tight clearance muffler do you have? Are any of the round body mufflers actually not a straight through design? Is there straight through designs that are actually significantly quieter without being huge?
The other suggestion was to add a cat, but I don't think I can from a heat management standpoint. Oh, and somebody suggested a turbo.
