Scorpion Muffler.....Geez that is loud

[Armond]

I've have a dual tip Scorpion muffler on my Tii installed by the PO. I have ansa headers and would like to replace this obnoxious muffler to something more semi conservative. Suggestions will be much appreciated. thanks

You could do a stock muffler, turbo muffler or an ansa sport... I find the ansa sport loud. Magnaflow's are ok too apparently

People here have also vouched for the Ireland kit which uses a Magnaflow center resonator and a Dynomax muffler.

yes... just put the ireland kit on (it is now two magnaflows- a 4" and 6" aluminized)... not loud or droning at all... very close to my old stock setup only a bit more throaty (nice)... noticable breathing difference... looks and fits good... very pleased.

from what i can remember only $115 too

Thanks Gentelmen! Called BMP and they suggested splicing in a glasspack. I'll have to go to a muffler place and check that one out. I'll also check in into the Ireland engineering set up. thanks

you could try that first.... because the scorpion is suppose to be a good muffler... get a 4"round magnaflow or equal muffler say about 16-18" long (can't remember all the sizes available... but too long like a +20" might be difficult to fit).... have them place it as forward as possible and see if that mellows it out. If it's not good enough replace the scorpion with the 6" magnaflow and you have the ireland set up... by the way... what ireland sells them for is very good... just get the kit and try it one piece at a time. If you don't need the 6" it won't be a huge loss... could probably even sell it through this forum. If it's still too loud for you... you realize the headers will probably have to go?

Rob,

Thanks for your imput. Got the car on a lift and here is what we found.

1-3/4" pipe. 36" resonator and a freeflow muffler with dual resonator tips. The shop guy said 1, there is no room for a glasspack 2, he siad that we should remove the Scorpion muffelr and slap in a Ansa # BW0207 w/c is a stock muffler. I don't mind doing the Ireland engineering set up but will there be a whole lot of difference? Thanks
