Default The quietest muffler

Odd, I know.

I am installing a q-time electronic cutout so I'm no longer concerned with how the muffler will flow.

Ever since pulling the cats, you step out of my car, and the world is a silent picture show.

I would like a QUIET muffler for the daily commute.

Any suggestions?

Dynomax 17227, 3" , dual 2.5" out, stock dimensions. It was quieter than my stock SS muffler. Can't get much quieter than that. Flows excellent too.

One of the oval Dynomax race mufflers is a great choice. I run this setup on my car when I want it quiet. I made my cat-back with a set of dynomax intermediate pipes, a 17221 muffler and an 90° mandrel bend and turn-down for an outlet. Flows great, sounds good and is really rather quiet in the car.
