It bypasses muffler for loud or flows through muffler for quiet using a valve to change flow.Your idle is higher when it's cold so it will always be louder on a clod startup. More RPM = more noise.Get your Dad some ear muffs.

DOHC6T Member 15 Member For: 15y 1m 19d Posted 19/07/10 07:48 AM Share Posted 19/07/10 07:48 AM I just removed the centre muffler and replaced it with 2 X 2.25 stainless resonators (hotdogs). Also replaced the standard oval tip with two straight cut dual layer stainless tips (2.5 inside dia 3" outside). Sounds fuggin great....nice and refined around town......and now it sounds like a proper sports sedan when you're up it!!
