noise restrictors? To keep the PEACE

[Ferrariguyma]

I had a Monty twin in twin out muffler installed on my SC. It is a little loud for my neighborhood. Rather than selling the exhaust I am wondering if their is such a thing as a Noise Restrictor I can slide into the tailpipes to quite the exhaust down for street use. I did a search and nothing useful came up.

Any ideas on how to quiet a exhaust?

Thanks

Andrew

You might try these...

Or cap one side of your exhaust?

there are slip ins if you search the web but none are going to make it much quieter. unfortunatly all twin outs are a bunch noiser then single outs. You may want to try and block one tail pipe and see what happens. most mufflers can have one tail pipe blocked but you need to make sure monty can do that maybe by using your hand to block it for a minute and see if it runs the same but the volume is less

Actually, it is easy to cap one side of the Monty

[Ferrariguyma]

Then maybe the inserts.

Anybody want to buy a Monty?

You'll have a LOT of people lining up to buy it.
Known to be a great muffler.

The muffler makes great sounds! I just wish it would idle a little quieter in my driveway and driving down my street. I get a early start 5:30 am and live on a quiet rural sidestreet. Both neighbors have already asked me what is wrong with my car and when am I going to fix my muffler. UGH

I faced the same dilema with my 2in 2out. It wasn't loud per-say but it had a deep rumble. I did what folks have suggested and capped one side. I went to Lowes and found a drain pipe cap in the plumbing department that works very well. It has a worm clamp to keep it in place.

The sound now is almost cut in half I dare say. Try this before you sell it. It was only ~$3.00.

My pipes are twin out between the bumper guards. I was thinking of finding a 65mm aluminum cap (any ideas?) and then drilling a hole North South thru the cap and tail pipe. Lastly finding a retaining pin to keep the cap on securely. I figured this would have a sorta factory rally look to the cap.

Thanks again,

Andrew

that is very similar to our track mufflers in design it will help but not that much. if you need a cap let me know what size ID I have to work with and I can make a cap that is pretty hard to see. It attacvhes in the bottom of the pipe. I guess I did not understand your original email glad you posted it is all suddenly clear

If it is too loud, get a stock exhaust. I have a stock exhaust and it is too damn quiet!

Andrew, Ben, ....
What are the usual tailpipe sizes for Monty, Dansk, factory, M&B? I may have an idea.

You could always install these, temporarily.



Once your neighbors get a load of this, they'll love you when you revert back to your current setup!

The car started and was half again as loud! That's the GOOD NEWS. BAD NEWs is car stalled and would not start again. I unblocked the tailpipe, car started and then stalled and that was it. I tried to jump it and still nothing.
