PV muffler sounds

[geshaw30]

I'm planning on removing my PV2 after a year's use. Tone is correct- it's just too loud for me (even after a year of carbon buildup that did quiet it down quite a bit from the original install).

If there are any takers I'll have the muffler shop save it.

George,
One solution to your PV being too loud, that may save you $ome jing.
Supertrapp offers a 12 disc exhaust tip insert that dramatically reduces db level.
I had a Borla installed this spring & it was WAY louder than I had expected.(It sounded like the grain truck I learned to drive in when the muffler fell off...but that's another story)
Anyway, I found a Supertpapp insert at Summit racing & installed that.(part #SUP-344-3004, $59.88) It's diameter was perfect to slide into the stock tip,with some persuasion from Mr.Hammer.
I've done extensive drilling to increase flow, to the discs as well as the tip, with no noticable increase in noise.
As you can see from the pics, It's a little long, but I'm planning to fix that soon.
My two cents, Ldub

Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of going with a PVx muffler? Seems like those three tiny little holes would severely constrict airflow.

WJ,
In that pic it would seem so...I am having trouble uploading pic showing side view. In any case, exhaust gas also exits through the spaces between the discs (more discs, more flow/less discs,more back pressure)
Also, I'm offering this as a more economical/easier solution than the cost of a whole new muffler/install. As ventilated as mine is, I don't know if it is much more restrictive than a quieter muffler,but it works for me. YIKES!, I never noticed how grody my exhaust was until I saw the pics.YUK!

Thanks Ldub- I have to come up with something. The noise level in the cabin distorts the music from Sirius. No point in paying for satellite radio if the sound sucks

I hated my PV... removed it and sold it the day after I put it on.
