how do i get rid of this weedwacker sound
Thursday, August 20, 2009 8:29 PM
The car i bought had a 3A "racing" muffler on it,and when it gets over say 4 grand it sounds like a rice burner.I hate it so i took it over and i get the same weedwacker sound.

Any idea what is causing it? I figure if i go header back i'll get rid of it,but i don't feel like spending that much just yet.

A better muffler or a resonator.

it makes the same noise with or without the muffler on it...i thought cutting it off would help..

i could put a diff resonator in there and the muffler..but that seems like it would be quiter than stock.

btw i dont have the stock muffler.

Get a real muffler. One that doesn't resemble a coffee can. If it still sounds bad after that add a resonator.

no glasspack is necessary, it might even make things sound worse lol

just dynomax super turbo in whatever in/out configuration you want that fits

The inside of the quiet one.

next time your at a auto parts store, look at the flow charts on the box.

I have no doubt that the only reason I only ran a 14.6 with my 95 NA car was because of that "nomaster" muffler I had.

POS it was!
