custom hidden silencer?

im trying to think of a way to make my RSR exhaust quieter and want something that will fit the pipe and also install somehow without having to put a screw at the bottom to hold it. idk if theres any way to do it... do muffler shops do that kind of stuff?

Re: custom hidden silencer?

Re: custom hidden silencer?

RS*Rs are already so quiet!

i'd say a 22" resonator would work for what you want.

Re: custom hidden silencer?

ill look into the resonator. and no rsr is not quiet after having it almost 3 yrs. in the winter on a cold start, it stays pretty quiet, but once it gets warm, that thing sounds crazy loud now. on roadtrips, its even worse.

Re: custom hidden silencer?

okay now how would i glue it around the pipe, is there special hi temp adhesive? i was gonna look at what they use for the exhaust repair kits. and also whats the best thickness of wool to get, course/medium/fine?

Re: custom hidden silencer?

well i glued in a smaller piece of exhaust pipe using muffler mend putty, its been there prolly for 6 months and hasnt fallen out. but its starting to rust even tho i painted it. not noticable much since its pushed back, but i did not get it as quiet as i was hoping.

I love my car loud. I have just ordered an HTA3582 Turbo setup with a wastegate dump. This will sound good with my current catless setup.

Re: custom hidden silencer?

yup checked ebay. the outer tip is around 4 inch i believe, but the inner actual exhaust pipe is only 3 inch (where the silencer would have to go in). also the 3 inch pipe is curved up so a silencer of the proper size would not even go in.
