2.4 Exhaust HELP
My 22re sounds like crap. I already have $250 invested into it with custom 2 1/4 inch single exit cat-back exhaust with a magnaflow turbo muffler. It wasnt loud enough, so I gutted the cat and now it sounds like a ragged out lawnmower. Any suggestions?

If all you want is loud, then ditch the muffler all together and have your exhaust shop braise on a tapered tip made from brass. but don't be suprised when you start getting tickets left and right.

I was about to suggest that... but one thing I've learned... flowmasters sound best when they have a run of pipe behind them to modulate their internal resonances. I would suggest putting it as close to the Cat as space will allow, and utilize a full over-the-axel exhaust run. Putting them right at the end of your pipe has a neutralizing effect on much of the deepness. In extreme cases you can wind up with a 'fart-can' effect in the higher RPM's. (I somehow doubt thats what you want)
I put a 3" catback on my supercharged Sebring with a flowmaster at the end of the pipe under the rear bumper. It sounds bad-ass at idle and up to about 3000 rpm.... then it opens up into a full on angry mosquito blappy rasp. (on the upside it drowns out the Vortech, so I don't advertize my boost so much! )
