Any suggestions on where to install in SoCal and how I can make it sound louder than a stock? I picked one up from r1racer yesterday

Try OK Muffler in Santa Ana, ask for Robert and tell him Dennis sent ya. I will be going back tomorrow to get a new 18 or 24 inch muffler. The 14 inch is loud so if you want loud I have one for you.

NICE! If you deleted your resonators then you do have drone, but if you only changed the muffler's out you should have little to no drone.

Checked and only had the muffler installed. Drones something horrible though. Very loud, hurts my ears. Rob said I needed a new muffler that was longer than the 14 inch Magnaflow 14862. I didn't know the length had much to do with the loudness of the muffler. He said a new one would be over 250.00 installed. I guess I might put the old muffler back on. Would rather spend that money on getting the ASC light fixed. I hope they still have the muffler they took off

If not I'll be looking for an OEM one. Do you think a "longer" muffler will make any difference?
