discard muffler??

Post by looker44 »

my 81 rear muffler decided to drop off the exhaust pipe and 1/2 of the muffler hanger. Once I took it off the other hanger and took a spin around the block, car was not loud or poppy.

I like a low throaty sound, but don't want LOUD

Several options:
Straight pipe it (well bend around axle) - no muffler
AR performance muffler - How loud is this one?
AR Std Muffler
Not going Ansa - too pricy for my "date night" car

Any direction from you guys who have done same?

I replaced my rusted out stock rear muffler with a cheap glass pack from Summit. I ran for awhile with just a straight pipe, it sounded great but was just a bit too loud.(I'm still running the cat and center resonator.) I thought I would use the glass pack until I decided what to do, but I like the sound and I'm going to leave it as is.
