Question sound insulation

I just put a flowmaster muffler on my Jimmy. It's pretty loud inside the cabin. Any ideas about restricting the noise to the end of the tailpipe??? It seems that the noise is mostly coming from the floor bords and/or cargo area. Thanks in advance.

Installing a flowmaster exhaust and then complaining about the noise is just plain stupid.

Why did you install it in the first place.

If you don't want the noise, put the stock muffler back on.

What do you expect us to tell you, the muffler does not directionally send the sound only out the back of the truck.

The only thing you can do is remove the muffler if you don't like it.

If you feel it's too loud in the cabin, pull all the panels (including door) and the carpet, lay down Dynomat...

That is why I consider it pretty weird to put in a louder muffler and then complain it is too loud.

I asked for a less restrictive muffler and this is what I got. I don't mind a little rumble,but it seems to resonate in the cabin a little. Yes I am weird, but aren't we all??????

You didn't do your research, there are plenty of high flow mufflers that are quiet.

There is nothing you can do but install a different muffler.

Anyone have advice as far as Gibson's cat-back? Was looking at one, wondered if it was worth it.

Re: sound insulation

Really a catback system is only worth hit if you get good headers to go with it..(My opinion anyway)

Re: sound insulation
