Performance Exhaust / Resonator info

Post by evad »

I just had a Ravin' Exhaust system put on my '92 4cyl ... I hadn't realized just how loud these puppies are... I like the performance boost, and I do like the sound - it's just a little too loud inside the car, and I'm thinking my neighbours will start to hate me soon... I was thinking of getting a Monza Pencil-Style Exhaust Tip from JCWhitney ... has anyone used these tips? will they make much of a difference? does anyone have other suggestions? For the sound inside the car, I was thinking of some sound insulation under the carpet and in the trunk... anyone have experience with this stuff? Is it worth the effort? Any help is appreciated.<P>Dave.

Hey,<P> One word man.....Dynamat. You can get it from <A HREF="http://www.crutchfield.com" TARGET=_blank>www.crutchfield.com</A> and it works great. Pull up your carpet and lay it down. It will really quiet up the place. It will also keep the exhaust heat outta the cabin.<P>------------------<BR>Jarid Perry<BR> 94 Blaze Red RS<BR> 14.62@99.4<BR> Now with NOS

Lining the trunk helped me to most!

You obviously lack the creative genius to integrate Legos and Duplos.
