Default es oval muffler

ok I tried to search but it has to be a minimum of three letters so it wouldnt let me search es.....so anyhow...right now I have a big tacky fart can from my ricer phase, and I want to pick up a flat black es oval muffler. my question is, is it relatively quiet. I am sick of havin to turn up my music on the freeway to try and drown out my fart can..thanks

The muffler wont resonate sound that much. Sound mainly depends on the diameter of the b pipe and how many resonators are in it.

I have a jdm 4-1 with 2.5 piping all the way back...no resonators.....I just wanna get rid of the buzzy crappy sound, so I guess what I really wanted to know is if the es oval sounds good, cause I like the fact that it is just a 2.5 inch outlet so it will look more like factory.

I think your going to want to put on some type of resonator it you want a quieter sound. I've read about mixed reviews, some say its really loud and others really quiet.

SOrry if i just messed you up with that last comment. Like txhatch was saying, it also depends on the size of the piping.
