m52 quiet exhaust options

[ChefSkinny]

Hey guys, wondering of anyone has any suggestions on quieting down my car to make it more enjoyable? I will be boosting down the line, so its 3" piping right now.

Right now my setup is an m52 -> ebay headers -> magnaflow cat -> borla mid muffler -> magnaflow rear muffler and its way too loud. I never get on the car because I know its going to draw a ton of attention. a big part of it is 3" pipe on a NA motor but anyone have any ideas??

Are all the mufflers 3" in and 3" out? The turbo/manifold are going to quiet it down a lot.

They are all 3" in and out yes. I may sc, and even then it could be a year away. Tired of feeling like im 16 when I drive this thing lol

How long before you go fi? As ak said the turbo will quiet things down considerably.

how big is your magnaflow? 14 or 18"?

This 23'' (I think) magnaflow.
Biggest muffler that fits in the back. Sounds GREAT.

There was a 18'' flowmaster 40 before. Was too loud and ricey.
I imagine a 14'' would sound like hot, wet, garbage covered in honda civic.


Also use a canister style muffler in the middle.
Sounds like buttery sex and is very enjoyable.

Personally thinking back to my own experiences with magnaflows on other cars i've owned, and other people i've talked to, we think it's just the magnaflow's are loud and annoying. Will try replacing the one I have in the back with something decent and I'll report back.

Instead of exhaust pipes just daisy chain mufflers. BAM Quiet.
