stainless steel muffler question
hey guys, i am gonna buy a stainless steel muffler. mjy car already has a 2.5" pipe underneathe..a guy from a performance exhaust shop said not to get a stainless steel muffler which has fibre glass in it. i dont know why. i dont want to spend alot on a muffler. i dont need a well known branded exhaust. i just want some thing that sound nice but not loud. he said the mufflers that are adjustables are the one with fibre glass. he sells those mufflers but recommend this. the brand is not world wide known. im from australia. he has a civic like mine with it and it sound nice as. but he didnt have it to show me.
can any one give me feed back. the exhaust doesnt have a silencer cause he said u dont need one with this muffler.
my friend said that if the hole inside is big, then its gonna be loud, but the smaller the hole, the quieter.

a regular oval muffler is kind of like a maze inside for the exuast gas
where as an round cylider type muffler noormally lets the exuast go straight through
fiberglass is used for sound dampaning between the two layers in most mufflers as it not flammable
SS is best for most cars as most exuast system do tend to rusy a little anyway (because of the traces of water that leave throught the exuast system)
and all tin can looking exuast are loud and can be annoying during long drives and stop and go traffic to you and other motorist i say go with something like the magnaflow of APEXi W2

i just got a stainless steel muffller put in, i already have a 2.5inch exhaust. my car is a civic 5th gen. vti.
my prob is its way too loud. its annoying. its deep exhaust note but its annoying.
the muffler never came with a silencer. and i dont think its made for one.
my cousin said he got another small muffler underneath his car to lower the sound. can i do that to mine. when i look underneath the car, i can see the catalyctic converter, and after the cat, is a nother object. it is kinda the same shape. its between the exhaust and the cat.
my cousin said he has 2 small mufflers, can i get one for me. and if i do get another one, i dont want to lose the deep exhaust note, and i love the way the car starts and turns off, and idle sound, but when accelerating, it loud ass.
can any one help me with this.
thanks
