Exhaust sound comparison - "Charlie Chan" vs. Modding Stock Muffler

[AndyA6]

To answer the OP question, I'm desnorked, secondary bypass pipes and drilled stock muffler (search in DIY section here).

I am very happy with the sound, no drone, not too loud but enough to get a few looks. Simple and effective.

From now on we should instead refer to it as the Benny Hanna exhaust .

Yes. Japanese quality is much better than Chinese. But does a different name move production to Japan ?

I considered drilling the stock muffler as you did, and figured it can't hurt, but it seems like a big pain, because of my welded on tips.

I lifted the car a while back and tried getting a bit in there with no luck. It was the opposite of fun.

I'm planning on removing the chan cans on my exhaust and welding smaller tubing in their place.

Here is the exhaust sound video I made for this exhaust. Skip to 2 minutes of the video to hear it.

Thanks for the video ProjectM96! Great production too.

I have to say though, that the sound of dewolf's modded stock muffler does a lot more for me, his is the video I am linking to. I may try to recreate that setup when I get back on my feet (currently recovering from surgery, hence the frequent posting ).



Some people don't like the "raspy" sound, but I do. I'm just worried about the dB level at low speeds.
