Muffler/resonator For Screamer Pipe?

[islade]

Hey, gentlemans

I've got a screamer on my RB25 GT3076 50mm external gate setup.

I love having a relatively quiet car, that gets super loud only when i want it, as I used to have straight pipes (no cats/muffs etc) on the car, and while it sounded awesome, it was too loud for everyday driving.

Has anybody tried putting a muffler or resonator on the screamer pipe? I don't even know if there is room. Just wondering what sort of results or success you had? The other option would be slightly longer piping to get it to the rear of the car, or at least half way there.

If you don't want the noise just plumb it to the front pipe

Naah, i'm looking for the quietness of the stock exhaust, and louder on boost ,but not quite as loud... plumbing it back in returns the car to boredom zone

get a 2 inch motor bike muffler, like the ones the postmen use.

maybe you can get a reducer pipe to 50 mm?

it could work i guess.

but pointless if you want a screamer pipe. just control it with your right foot?

i have seen it done, a guy put a muffler on his screamer pipe a few years ago.

he's talking about muffler or resonator to muffle the sound. me thinks.

Put a cat on there as well as the muffler and you have a legal screamer.

TiTAN, thanks for the link to that thread. I tried searching but somehow didn't find that thread.

I'll talk to my exhaust guy in a few weeks when i've got money, i just wanted to get other peoples opinions on what it would sound like? I'm guessing a resonator would make the sound a bit deeper without really quieting it down, where as a muffler would make it quieter?

Put a cat on there as well as the muffler and you have a legal screamer.

im not sure what the legalities would be though as a cat doesnt work unless its hot and a screamer doesnt have hot exhaust running through it all the time.

A screamer too loud

imiss mine so bad

Im in the same boat, I dont want to plumb mine back as I only have a 3 inch system. A screamer would be too loud for an everyday driver imo, I would prefer to run a muffler on the screamer like these setups. I might make one and see how quiet I can get it. Great idea.

the old 911 turbos came from factory with screamer pipes but had mufflers on em..if that helps

My 60mm screamer sounds just fine

U don't need a 2" screamer for a 2.5L motor unless u have a massively flowed engine trying to run like 5psi of boost. Make up a 1.75" screamer and get a 1.75" hotdog muffler from an exhaust distributor. Run it alongside the exhaust system and end it about half way along the gearbox.

He clearly does not want a screamer pipe, he just wants raised voice pipe!

[islade]

Sorry guys, I was wrong, I admit it.

The screamer pipe isn't too loud, I just needed a couple of days to adjust to this new level of awesomeness

How far down your system that you plumb back your screamer will effect the sound level.

The closer you plumb back to the rear of the system, the louder it should get as your bypassing the exhaust systems mufflers.

i have a muffler on myne. found a random old hills muffler (was for an old morris i think, 1.5" or something pathetic like that) at my dads tyre store, added a few bits of random pipe i cut out of a wreck and welded them together, it ends just after where the cat normally is in the main system. its loud enough to be noticeable on boost but quiet enough to not give me the shits (i hate screamers). all in all it works very well for something that was free
