why is my new exhaust setup so freakin quiet!!!
i just installed a Texas speed ORY with my hooker LTs and added a hooker catback. no cats. it is sooooo quite. you can bearly tell i have an exhaust. even at WOT it isn't that loud....
it has to be the muffler right? any better mufflers out there i can replace this with for a more agressive sound?

Put a cutout in there and you won't complain about lack of noise anymore
My buddy has a 99 Z28 with Kooks headers and Y pipe and a magnaflow muffler, I was surprised how quiet that setup was. Don't get me wrong, it sure sounds healthy, but it definitely is not loud enough for some people.
You can always throw a Loudmouth on there.
There is no other component of your exhaust other than the Muffler that will make it that quiet.

give it about a week. wait for the muffler to break in. every catback with a real muffler is quieter when you first put it on. the packing needs to be broken in. i bet by this time next week, you'll be surprised how much louder it got. if you're still unhappy, like already suggested, throw on a cutout.

Give it some time and it will get a little louder.
I just installed a B&B catback on my car and it's real quiet. When I get on it you can hear it coming but when I'm just driving around it isn't too loud. My old flowmaster muffler was a lot louder than this but I was looking for something a little more quiet. When I want to be loud I just uncap the cutout

i'll give it some time to break in but i swear its hard to tell i even have an exhaust on there. i had true duals on it and it was stupid loud.... no i can't even hear it.
my z06 has corsa catback and LTs and ORx pipe... its very very loud but in a good way. i just don't get it.
is there any muffler i can swap out if i don't like this one that is less restrictive and give me the v8 sound i'm looking for?

well i've got 4 other cars. so when i get in this one i am only in it for one reason.... to take off the t-tops and listen to the sweet sound of exhaust..... like i said , i hated the true duals, so i guess the cut out would be the best bet....
just one cut out? placed where?
