That's interesting. Why would there be a loss of low-end torque?
Yeah, it's just too loud for me. I have 2 young kids. And when they are sleeping, I can't even take the car out cause my wife will yell that I'll wake them up.
So if I bought a muffle with a 2.5" in and out, then I can just swap it? I know I'll need an adapter since the pipe coming from the cat is 3". I don't want to replace that entire pipe.
