After I finished installing my MM panhard bar and torque arm I drove around with the tailpipes taken off. I thought it was too loud and not as smooth, so i had someone try to get the Magnaflow pipes to fit. Well the rattle on both sides and it is driving me crazy.

My question is, if I actually install turndowns after the muffler will it be a little quieter than when I just had the pipes off?

At this point its looking like the pipes are just dead weight begging to be removed. Opinions welcome from those with experience running dumps.

Honestly it will be almost the same.

The turn downs might be more louder since its just hitting the ground, where when you had the pipes off the sound would go str8 back.

TTT

Honestly it wasn't much louder outside the car, but it was pretty loud in the car with the rear seat out and the Magnapacks basically right below it. I would have thought turn downs would redirect the sound down away from the cab.

Anyone else?

My experience...

Magnapacks with pipes - Drone but livable

Magnapacks with no pipes - OMFG almost unbarable

Magnapacks with turndowns - a little better but not much

Dynomax with turndowns - very livable, about the same as the magnapacks with the pipes. I also got my low end torque back.

I have 3 Chamber Flows with dumps, and their pretty quiet for the most part, until you really get on it. Not loud in the cab either, because the sound is directed to the ground and angle out. 2 chambers are alot louder!

I know a kid with a 03 Cobra. He has straight pipes from the headers to Flowmaster mufflers and then dumps.

It is extremely loud.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I guess I'll try the turndowns for now and see how I like it. the thought of those dynomax mufflers has crossed my mind tho....

I want to know also. I had my settup running without the tailpipes when I first installed the exhaust. It sounded AMAZING, but if the rpms got too low (below 1000rpm) it would make this horrible sound, and rattle the inside of the car real bad. It would also rattle my dash in the "drone zone" @ 2100-2300rpm. Im glad it doesnt rattle anything now, but I miss the MEAN sound it had before, will my dash rattle if the dumps are installed?
