LOL!! Damn, that sucks. How much did you pat for it?

i started out ordering a 3" in/dual out Hooker (i think...) muffler and they ended up sending the wrong type of single in dual out...i needed an in and out on one side and an out on the other side and they sent one with an in on one side and both outs on the same side that i paid around $125 for i think and i took that back and told them that they had ordered they wrong muffler and exchanged it for the Dynomax and paid the difference....ended up being around $185 for the muffler $20 for the 3" exhaust elbows and $39 for the 2 3" tips and $25 for labor. all together around $270

Christ!! All that for a muffler?!?!? For $100 or cheaper you could have gotten an entire catback.

haha yeah i know....and the catback wouldnt have sounded as bad as this muffler does.

that really sucks... i went with a magnaflow cat-back on my 3.4, best sounding exhaust on a v6.. IMO..

really? what size is it and how much did you pay for it? i've got to get something else....i dont think i can stand this much longer! it sounds great up to about 1400 rpm lmao but after that.....very ricy

KaotiKCamaro5 · #10 10-07-2005, 05:03 PM

i wanna say i only paid around 300 or so.. but you gotta know that any exhaust you put on your car is gonna sound ricey at some point.. but Magnaflow is defiantely the way to go..

666_speed · #11 10-07-2005, 05:06 PM

thanks...300 wouldnt be bad....i know they all sound bad at a point...but the Dynomax is at such a low point i hate it....the last one i had that was $20 it didnt sound bad until about 4k rpms.

Well you've gotta give it a break in period. My Borla sounded somehwhat high pitched at first. But now, it's gotten this really nice deep low tone and I love it. Just give it some time and see if it doesnt start to sound any better.

man thats not cool, hey u could always ebay it off and get something new...i dont think if it sounds as bad as he says it does it will sound any better a year from now. maybe if it was just a bit off but the man said its really bad.

666_speed · #14 10-08-2005, 11:53 AM

it sounds really good at really low rpms but over 14-1500 it sounds horrible...but thanks i'll try it out for a couple of weeks before i decide to get rid of it.
