noise Does = power after all !

Ok so i have been missing the sound of my intake\ radio due to how loud my cat free 3" is

So i purchased an auger style muffler to stuff in the mid pipe. Im at stage 2. With a cobb tune. Was hitting spikes of 18.7 psi and usually hit 17 with spirited driving. It was 93 db at idle behind the car from 4 ft away. 88 db at idle in the car windows up and 95-100 cruising, and well over 100 db on accel,

Now im making 15-16.5 psi and its 85 db at idla from 4 ft away and 83 at idle in the car windows up. Its 90-95 cruising and never goes above 95 db . The intake is actally louder than the exhaust now !

Its a noticable difference i even flashed back to a stage 1 tune, but i can actually drive it faster now cause it not so loud.....

I will be drilling some holes and trimming the fins on the auger style muffler till the intake and exhaust are equal volume. And hopefully i get back to 16-17.5 psi
