I annoyed my explos whisper exhaust. Today i cut off that muffler which is before rear axle. Two cats in front are still there.

Voice is very deep in idle and sounds like teenage 4cyl toyota with 3" muffler. 1500-2200rpm will give bad deep sound in highway too, 3000-4500rpm sounds nice.

So i wanna ask:


Normal straight line muffler (not that S or turbo model what is called on english? input and output is not same line) or free flow straigh muffler?

And better be flat? Round model will just increase deep sound i think...
 






So you just want help on what muffler you should get? Lol sorry man. It looks like you're trying very hard to speak English which I respect a lot, but it's still hard for me to quite understand what you want.

I pulled off my cats and and put a straight pipe on it (I had a low budget and my cats and muffler were falling apart.) I only had money to afford a 'Thrush Turbo muffler', but I really like the way it sounds. I would like to put a 'Flowmaster Super 44' on it. So if you can get a hold of the Super 44 I would do it if I was you! I think they sound great!

Good luck! Make sure you get the right size muffler for whatever you decide! I can't remember what the size was. I believe it was 2.5 inches but I'm not 100% sure.

This is close to what yours would sound like with a Super 44, except he doesn't have cats:

I installed a straight through Magnaflow muffler at one point, but I was not happy with the performance. It was loud but I lost torque. I installed a Dynomax muffler that has a baffled design and got the torque back. The 4.0 needs a bit of backpressure to keep exhaust velocity high, for low end torque.
