Need a new muffler
I can't stand the sound of the muffler I currently have on my twin turbo-ed cabrio. It's good on the lower rpm's but when it climbs up it way too loud and sounds like a bunch of tin cans rattling.
Any suggestion? Remus, Eisenmann???? Others????

What do you have now?
I'd go with a magnaflow system.

I believe it is a Magnaflow. Before the car was turbo-ed it sounded great. Now that it's got more air going threw it, it's not so good.

How is your exhaust done? Do you still have your resonator or cat?

Maybe think about constricting it a little, rather than having too much air flow if that seems to be the problem.

Ask RBYCC or a professional tuner. You can't just slap on any exhaust when you have FI. You need to consider backpressure.

There is a new cat, no resonator. The exhaust that came with twin turbo kit actually had no cat just a muffler.

The exhaust sounds too high, I would like a deeper lower sound.
