Exhaust silencers?

Has anyone used silencers in their aftermarket exhaust? I am this --> <-- close to trading my Perrin for a Megan Racing as the Perrin is sometimes just to effin loud. But - for $100 I could get a pair of silencers and perhaps tame the beast when needed.

 

Silencer for a aftermarket exhaust is like a Stock cbe, for me. It just sounds more funny with the silencer in. I wouldn't recommand it unless you're going on a long trip.

 

^^ isnt he planning on moving here from Colorado?
I'd say thats long.

 

^^ Indeed. The 1k mile trip with the current setup would be, well, painful. I could definitely live with the stock CBE tone.

 

Lauder muzak?



I have two resonators on my exhaust, plus the massive can, and it is tolerable on a seven hour trip.

 

Someone stole my silencer back when I had my ricer civic. Not off the car though, it was in the grass in front of my house. Yeah I used to be one of those guys, then I saw the light, or could afford to head towards the light of a subaru

 

i have the perrin TBE and just took a 5 hour trip one way, wasnt bad at all had the cruise on 80mph and only slight drone on uphill inclines but tolearble, i wouldnt get a silencer, i prefer to hear my car and the exhaust i paid for....imo. order em from perrin.com if your really in need.

 

My tires are wayyyy louder than my exahust.. they suck.

 

Wait until you get a citation for loud muffler...then you'll think about using that silencer.

 

Thanks for the input, guys. My car is currently catless, which amplifies the exhaust tone somewhat. And I'm not a kid anymore, so turning up the music for 1k miles isn't really an option.

Rather than swap for the Megan setup I'm going to try the silencers.

Don't get me wrong - I love the growl the car has, even at low rpms. Putting through town in 2nd still turns the occasional head. At WOT it barks very nicely. It's just that putting up with the quite loud drone for 16 hrs would be a pain in the arse.

 

+1 for the silencer on long trips.

 

my car is silent absolutely no sounds what soever between 1500 and 2000 rpms LOL its perfect for the trips through mound unless of course i go up a hill :\

otherwise i love my Exhaust

 

Found some. They are MR, but the dimensions are are what I need for my tips.

 

How big are your tips? I have two silencers from Megan Racing exhaust for 08+ sedan WRX. I think they are 4". I don't need them for now, let me know if they would work for you.

 

Be careful getting on the gas if you toss on silencers. They are incredibly restrictive to airflow and will almost certainly cause some issues with WOT pulls on any custom tuned car.

 

They are 4" tips, and the parts which I've got coming are Megan Racing. Thanks for the offer, but they should be here this week.

 

Roger that, which is why the wife won't be driving. She tends to drive it like she stole it.
