Need advise on exhaust systems

[89Vette]

I had an muffler put on to replaced the old tin can full or other tin cans muffler that was on and I almost want my broken muffler back. Forums said Magnaflow was decent for low rumble and not high end bark. The origional ower cutt out the cats and combined with this Magnaflow it sounds like a teenager peelin out of the high school parking lot with his ten dollar fart can on a honda. My VX now makes me want to gouge my eyes out now. I'm looking for quite and maybe a little low rumble but mostly quite. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

First...put the cats back in. They help a lot. Then, if still too loud, find out if an exhaust shop can find room to install glass packs in your existing system.

If that doesn't make you happy, just get an OEM muffler and consider it a lesson. It's possible that a Walker Quiet flow 3 or dynomax would make you happy too.

I'm guessing that a flowmaster won't cut it -- based on your description. Six cylinder engines just don't sound that great with louder than factor muffler systems. That's assuming you have an ear for V8's and really hate fart-can Hondas. (like me).

I highly recommend the DynoMax - Turbo (Part #17733, w/2.5" inlet & outlet). I just had this muffler installed on my VX with a dual tip and it has a nice quiet low rumble without being obnoxious. Not ricey or coffee can sounding. Here's a link:

X2! Get some cats put back on and re-evaluate. If you wanted to start fresh you could get a '98 Trooper exhaust setup. I have one that runs a single cat with the cross-over before the cats. This guys on CL is selling a dual cat setup that looks just like ours from an '02 Trooper. He's asking too much but the picture may help.
