greetings all, can you please help me. with my new exhaust dilemma IE "to loud" just got the car back from the performance shop. just had bassani stainless h pype with high flow cats and jba shortie headers and have slp loud mouths axle backs. I had the slp's on with the stock set up and sounded fine. still would like it loud but not this loud. any suggestions would be great. I don't want my neighbors killing me when I start my car at 5:30 am.

thanks again john

You have to change to a catted H-Pipe or different axleback setup. The SLP loudmoths are the loudest setup out there. I would try a different muffler setup.

I have the Stingers with my O/R bassani x-pipe and like it. It tried it with hi-flow cats and liked the tone, but I eventually got used to it and wanted it a little louder.

I'd say go either go back to the stock H or go back to the stock mufflers.

+1 can't go wrong with this direction.

From the clips I have heard, the LoudMouths sound like junk when they are with an offroad setup. They are super loud and just junky sounding. With a catted X or H pipe, they calm down and have a nice sound. I suggest going back to the stock H...or at least one with cats.

I'd say leave the headers and catted h-pipe and get some new mufflers.
I had slp with my setup and I didn't really like the sound then swithched to the frpp/stingers and they are perfect.

Ditto on the Stingers. The FRPP Stingers are loud, but not so loud that you're annoying. I wouldn't idle it for 20mins at 5 in the morning, but you get the picture.

Unfortunately the aftermarket mufflers everyone buys for the S197 make very little power gains so I say...

STOCK MUFFLERS back on! Won't cost you a dime

Speaking for myself, I didn't buy my mufflers for alleged hp gains. I'm not a ricer.

Vapor

So buying mufflers for HP gains makes someone a ricer? I guess I was a ricer in my Z28 when I bought a my Borla system and gained 15 RWHP.

Mufflers. Stock or A/M, whichever you budget allows.

not much gain if any in hp, I just want a better sound

I think you would really be happy if you just switched out the muffler. Leave what you have, minus the slp. Check out those stingers too. I wish I had gotten them in the first place.

There's a marked improvement in throttle response with my Violators which I can feel when revmatching for downshifts.

You're probably joking, but I think to be a Ricer is to invest in "Show" before "Go." Sound = show. HP = Go. Ricers don't care about performance, they just want "cool" body kits and loud exhausts.

Now, if you're talking about the fast little Honda boys with full exhausts on their 4-bangers that actually result in a performance increase - those are import tuners. Ricers is a derogatory name used for people who invest in "Show before Go."

After reading my own mods, to date. I think I might actually resemble that remark Though, in my own defense... I don't have a body kit and my exhaust is anything but loud

krnpimpsta

Yeah, no offense. I hate on nobody - even ricers like you. (JK! ) I just have to make an annoying comment every time someone says "ricers" in the wrong context.

and don't forget the stickers....


nothing like that Vtech sticker to add 15HP to your rotary Mazda.
