    How loud is megan racing M-DT muffler?

    I had a muffler shop install some ebay DTM muffler (last min purchase), but they're too loud for my taste. Does anyone have experience with the M-DT muffler made by megan racing? 2.5 inlet and 3 outlet. Are they relatively quiet?
    Are there any other ways to quieten down the exhaust? My head hurts driving it around.

    The car currently has a s52 with stock headers attached with a single inlet cat and resonator right behind it. some 2.5 inch catback piping and the ebay muffler.

    I have an S50 with ebay headers, vibrant 7101 cat, two vibrant 12" resonators back to back (had them laying around), and vibrant 1040 muffler. Totally manageable noise level with no rasp.

      Do you have a video of the car running? Correct me if I am wrong, but Ive heard the glass packs don't actually reduce the noise much? Im thinking about getting one of these. Thought?

        Yes, resonators are meant to cut out certain undesirable sounds, like rasp. In my experience they quiet things a little but not a lot. And mufflers are for...well...muffling, reducing the overall sound level.

        That resonator appears to fall somewhere in the middle. My only concern would be how low it might hang below the car.
