To Quiet?

So I am at the track the other day, and a friend of mine says
The car looks great and runs great, but its too quiet.

here is a picture of my setup....would removing the muffler and replacing it with
a straight pipe of some sort be worth the effort? Would I see a performance gain or loss?

If you have a straight through muffler now, no real gains will be made.

You can probably try using a Zork tube, but then it'd probably be *too* loud.

Had a Borla, didnt like the sound, then a Powerhaus 2 out. similar to what you have now. It had a low rumble. I liked the sound but was a little low on Db. Now I have the 1st generation Hooligan 2 out & like it just fine. I would think the hooligan is the one. I will not be changing out mufflers again. Check with Brian Rarelyl8.
I have a video with the sound, if you PM me your email, i can send a clip.

If you are traveling at the speed of light & turn on your headlights, does anything happen?

We offer three sound levels and four tailpipe configurations. All straight through design. It sounds like the Hooligan would fit the bill for you.
