Default Idle clip before new muffler.

I figured I would post up a small idle clip of my car before I put the new muffler I ordered on.

Right now the exhaust is dumped before axel with a summit bullet muffler. At idle it sounds good but at wot its just too raspy and doesnt have a good tone.

I ordered this muffler called a powerstick. So im gonma do away with the summit bullet and put the powerstick in its place. Hopefully it has a better tone.


Anyway here is my current set up.

I would look into the Dynomax Bullets in a larger configuration. I believe the most common is a 16". Unfortunatly no matter how you look at it its going to be very loud and likely raspy due to using a bullet or powerstick vs an actual muffler.

I had planned on running a similer setup a while back. I'm interested to hear how it sounds. The powersticks are basically the same mufflers GMMG used.

I got the powerstick in the mail. Im probably gonna have it put on saturday so I will make sure to post a video as soon as it gets done.

Im really hoping this makes a difference. Im not so much worried about the idle difference as I am the wot difference. This bullet muffler thats on now at wot just has no good tone to it at all. Almost like no muffler at all.

Similar - but quite different. The GMMG mufflers did not have any 3" core versions. The 3026SB he is going to install has very different characteristics than other "chambered" mufflers. Trust me.
