Brian at M&K has suggested a switch to straight by-pass pipe instead of the pre-muffler. Anyone out there done this or know how this will change the sound? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
You have a 1/1...

'9dreizig' has a 1/2.

A 2-out is always a lot louder than a 1-out. That's why so many people plug the R outlet part of the time (long trip, mother-in-law's ride to church, etc.).

Straight by-pass pipe will help maybe 20% at the most.


Remember. Your car sounds a LOT louder to people outside or in another car than it does to you the driver. A LOT louder.

Get someone else to drive your car while you watch, or follow to get a better idea.
