i just got my charlie chan chinese exhaust hopefully it will go good with my chinese wheels and some pork fried rice . i have not put it on yet. they were back ordered for awhile. the quality of the part actually looks good nice and solid. the bracket looks a little out of alignment and the mufflers are a little offset i am not sure if it is suppose to be this way . i will find out when i install it. not to long ago they were asking 800.00 for these.

Have same muffler and will install it later this month (Sat 25th) and will let you know how the installation and sound turn out. Charlie Chang exhaust, I will have to remember that one. Also I notice that there exists on the market silencer exhaust tips that could be welded or clamped on that would cut the sound somewhat if you have the dreaded resonance issue. Stebro has them on their site so go check them out. If SWMBO has noise problems I will probably add these tips or something similar. Muffler weighs only 18 lbs compared to stock which is around 36+, I will weigh it when I replace it.

Thats the one I had. The holes at the tip try to PREVENT the resonance.

Please let us all know how it sounds. I really hated the farting noise. If they have not fixed it, to replicate the fart.... from idle, go up at around 3000 rpm, and lift your foot off all at once. when the rpms hit around 1000-1100 there will be a rasberry farting noise.

did it at least sound half decent when it was not farting ?

I happen to like the burble... don't think a normal car can make that sound.

Really sweet danger, glad to see you are on top of these things. I can't wait to see/read what's next??? Party ON!

The burble is nice. The muffler sounds great 99.9% of the time. The burble would happen at the instant the throttle is released. The farting happens at the moment the RPM hits idle. They may have fixed it.

ok after a long search I found the fart noise in all of its glory. Listen when the rpms return to normal.

I see you are running this muffler with the secondary cats removed. I imagine if you replaced the secondaries they would act as a sound deadening device and your muffler would be a bit more quiet. I didn't find your sound offensive and as far as fart noise goes those sounds are nothing like some of the farts I have heard and , sad to say, I have heard many. Unless the sound was not unlike something bounced off a wooden bench or chair that produces basso profundo that will rattle the windows I am not offended. Party ON!
