apparently steel wool helps quiten it down, ive got the epa regulations and it says you cant have steel wool in hte exhaust lol Quote: Originally Posted by epa It is an offence to own or use a vehicle fitted with a temporary defeat device, inlet port restrictor, exhaust port restrictor or temporary noise reduction device. These devices, when fitted to the exhaust system, can temporarily and easily change or vary the level of noise emitted from the exhaust. Examples include variable exhaust restrictors, cutouts, bypasses, adjustable/variable/sliding openings on mufflers, restrictive or temporary insert plates and steel wool.

steel wool is actually a top idea, shove it in, when they are behined the car if they say "too loud" wait till they are in the "firing line" and put your foot down, will choke and then HOPEFULLY shoot them with half molten ball of steel wool, and say my car had a hairball! (woolball)

haha i tried the steel wool idea.. its sort of stopped the popping/backfire but the exhaust sounded pretty loud still! Anyway i did the test and the steel wool i jammed right up in teh exhaust spat out and hit the tripod and knocked it over lol.. Luckily it wasnt EPA that did the test!

what if i whack and bend and squish my 3" exhuast so that it is more restrictive, therefore quieter. Then I can get a nice mandrel bent stainless one later.
