I have a 2000 Z28 A4 with LPP headers ORY and a LM. I just recently installed the LPPs and the car is a different animal now. I drive the car everyday its just way too loud. Also, the Loudmouth creates this terrible sound that everyone warned me about.

Anyway, I was just wondering what would be a good way to get the exhaust sound levels down to about half so that I don't lose my hearing. I've heard of the Magnamouth and BorlaMouth setups. The Xr1 seems to be a good deal, but I was wondering, do the Xr1s actually make it that much queiter? Am I better off just getting a new Catback instead or can this be a quick fix? I don't want it terribly quiet, just enough to get that eardrum destroying rasp gone. Do these mufflers do anything to the idle sound levels?

 

magnaflow will for sure quiet ur car down, pretty cheap to

 

+1 with the magnaflow

 

my car had a magnaflow when i bought it w/ stock exhuast. a month or so ago i got some LPP and the y pipe intalled. cruising around it is still pretty quiet but people will def. hear you when you are getting on it . i have a cutout for when i really want to open it up.

 

so the Xr1 or bullet mufflers aren't a good way to go?

 

Im going to go with a borla xr1 just love that sound and they are pretty cheap aswell.

 

the magnaflow should be similar to the XR1...buth are basically bullet mufflers with more sound deadening material.

i think the MF is cheaper.

it will make a much cleaner sound than the LM resonator. both at idle and WOT.

it should help considerable.

other option is to put a magnaflow on each tip...or a small one chamber.

 

Switching to a Magnaflow with a Ecutout end of May. My current set-up is crazy loud for the street. At least that is what North Aurora's finest told me. Looking forward to loosing the raw fuel smell also.
