Quick Bit.



I have a K&N intake, Y-pipe, Hiflo Cat, no Resonator, and 2.5 piping all around. This is a single pipe set up. The only difference between these sound clips are the muffler. One is the popular 40 series and the other is a the quieter 50 SUV series.



These are start ups and quick revs from outside of the Trac 10 long strides away from the tip of the exhaust pipe. I should have gone further back and apologize that the recording gets a very loud during some of the revving....



40 series (quality is very poor)

These are from the interior and is where a HUGE difference is made between the two mufflers. The 50 SUV is much more quiet inside than the 40 series and is the exact reason i purchased it.



40 series (might want to turn these up a lil)

(the DVD came on while recording the 50 series.... anyone guess that movie? lol)











Everyone has their own tastes but I preferred the 50 series because it creates 80% of the 40 series sound with 35% of the interior resonance.



Hope this might help some people looking into mufflers.

By the way TJR basically walked me thru how to do all this link posting stuff. Big Thanks for the help! That tag stuff is so ridiculous.
 
As far as I can tell they both sound good. I guess removing the resonator makes a big difference because my FM40 sounds very good outside and very tolerable inside. The SUV50 I had previously was nice and mellow outside but not loud enough for me (in fact, it wasn't much louder than stock from inside).



Thanks for sharing the clips, Woppy.
