The once quiet 3000 rpm range is a new noisy zone from possibly excess fan noise, something that could not previously be heard over the exhaust racket. A much more mellow pleasurable tone is being emitted from exhaust pipes. Squeaks, rattles, rear end gear hum, poly UCA bushings, and wind noise now dominate the cockpit with top up. What a difference, as Ted said the high frequencies are gone, mid 2000 rpm head splitting drone gone. So today following Ted’s direction, I installed two 12†Flowmaster HP2 mufflers upstream from the current Walker mufflers. Still these mufflers did not kill that obnoxious /6 2500 rpm drone only knocked it down a bit, or the angry bee finger nails on a black board sound one of these engines generates when compression is been bumped up. oh god it was dreadful.Īfter spending money on more important improvements than noise abatement for several years, the turbo mufflers were replaced with a more OEM type units that enabled one to drive without hearing protection. When I purchased this car in spring of ’08 it had 2†duel exhaust from Clifford headers to rear bumper sporting a pair of twenty year old Turbo Sonic mufflers the noise was unbearable requiring foam ear protection on any trip longer than fifteen miles and the drone. Featuring a smaller case that’s perfect for compact cars and a patented core design that optimizes efficiency while minimizing drone, the dBX muffler delivers a unique, refined tone.
