Looking to Quiet the non-Catted Stock Mufflers

[SuperG]

Well, I have done it before and wow do I get a headache, but I am getting ready to drive for nearly 20 hours and I need to quiet down the exhaust note.

I don't have any of the 4 catalytic converters in the car, stock mufflers, and an x-pipe.

Here are a couple pairs of cats I am looking at...any advice on them or others would greatly be appreciated!

And you think thats loud?? Try longtubes, o/r x and a straight thru muffler like borlas, magnapacks, or SLP's..

i don't recommend driving a cobra for 20 hours. that would be uncomfortable.

Yea like me!!! shit is horrible now.. It's starting to get annoying but it does sounds insanely awesome!!

Oh 20 hours isn't so bad...no passengers so my music, snacks, drinks, and A/C with no arguements...and the seats are pretty comfortable.

Blown By You, your car is an inspiration!

Anyhoo...still looking for a recommendation...

Weld pair of small straight-tru-mufflers in front. Right there where front pipes turn under the car. Thay cut away raspy noise very well.

Actually, I can't stand doing long trips NOT in my Cobra. Everyone always has something to say about how comfortable the seats are, and I realized how I am spoiled with the Cobra when I go and sit in someone else's car for a long period of time and will get uncomfortable pretty quickly.

Try having cams, a hole in your muffler, and a gutted interior..sounds like I'm in a race car.

i think a straight through muffler like a borla or magnaflow would be quieter than the stockers, and definitely have less drone... stockers are chambered which tend to drone

what seats are in your car, cuz the stock seats suck for comfort

my bullitt seats are super comfortable but i travel with my job and driving 20 hours on my off day would suck.

 

[Blown_By_You]

oh, i forgot, I went thru extensive measures to insulate my interior from sound...

 

[SuperG]

First, I have stock seats...man, those things are comfortable, I don't care what anyone says! Second, I've been thinking about replacing the mufflers with Magnaflow (had them on my 03 Cobra and loved them). Third, really, I am looking to see if anyone has added a pair of catalytic converters and noticed a sizeable decrease in sound levels. Finally, next time I rip out the interior of my car, I will add sound deadening material, depending on the "new" noise level.

Thanks guys!!

i must be one of the few that actually like the stock seats

 

[crash549]

i liked my stock seats but my bullitts keep me firmly planted in the seat. i looked into sound deadening when i had my interior ripped out but it's pretty expensive and it's actually not that loud inside my car.
