Exhaust too loud, options?

[norrin302]

I just picked up my first GT500, an 07 with 25k on the clock. Drove it up from Jacksonville last night. It has Bassani long tubes, Bassani catted midpipe, and Bassani aftcat. The 10 hours home from Florida were fine, just kicked up the radio. But when I got it home, the wife was not too happy with the sound. I admit, it's loud, but it's a good loud! :lol: She didn't see it that way. :mj: So my question is, what's my cheapest/easiest way to quiet this beast down a bit so I can appease the wife? She did agree to get a GT500, after all. Gotta compromise somewhere. Thanks in advance.

pick up a set of stock mufflers that would probly be your best bet or just toss her a set of ear plugs and tell her its a racecar and racecars need to be loud

Stock mufflers or add two 18" resonators by Dynomax. Cost me $200 installed for two in SS.

 

[Bravo gt 500]

I added resonators also. I have the corsa xtreme mufflers with off road h pipe, not annoying anymore

 

[norrin302]

I'd rather not cut if I don't have to. Plus, mufflers I can do myself. You think just swapping to the stock mufflers will bring the sound down enough? Is there that much of a difference between the Bassani's and stock?

Stock mufflers are quiet as can be.

Stock mufflers are quiet as can be.

Even with Bassani long tubes and mid pipe?

Divorce........or stock mufflers........one is cheaper now, but will cost you in the long run

:lol:

cheapest option will be resonators

 

[norrin302]

What's the size on the stock mufflers? Will it bolt up to my 3" mid pipe?

 

[norrin302]

I'm thinking stock is 2.5, and I have 3". :nonono:

Show her a picture of an eagle and hand her an American flag. Then tell her these colors don't run RACECAR!!!!

 

[norrin302]

Apple pie, baseball, 'merca, yaada yaada... At the end of the day I need her to afford the payments, so I gotta have her on my side.

Can anyone tell me what size adapter/reducer I would need to go from the 3" mid pipe to the 2.5" stock mufflers? I'm horrible at that stuff...

Double check that it doesnt already step down to 2.5 right after the x pipe.

I have JBA axle back and it is just quiet enough to keep the wife off my back. That would be another option.

Yep just got under there and looked, it's a 3" system all the way back, including the axle-back.
