Car specifics: a recently installed fully built SBR 6-bolt long block in my 97 spyder. A 9.1:1 4g63 block, and a 101200 Comp cammed head, ported. Other stuff: 2.5" catback, Evo III 16G.
I knew the car would be much louder at idle and on the gas with the cams than stock. But the noise is way louder than I expected, and draws more attention that it did before (read: California cops).
I have searched on here, and other forums, looking for a way to quite down the exhaust note, if possible. The muffler people said that they had some new Magnaflow resonators in stock, which a lot of V8 folk like to use, since they dampen the sound without compromising on pipe diameter and airflow. I do realize that I can't ever sound stock with the cams, ofcourse, but any level of dampening would certainly help. Any suggestions?
