im looking for a muffler that flows good enough for my klze turbo that dosent make too much noise...

i have a full 2.5" stainless steel exhaust with 3" high flow cat with a pipe at the end but now im gettin too much tickets with it and want to change my muffler...

Apexi N1, under axle (3" from the turbo back) and a QTP electric cutout so I can run open downpipe when it's game time.

I got a custom PMO Flex Pipe back 3" exhaust with a Borla 3" strait through race mufler mounted in the stock cat location.

It's fairly loud but i've never been harassed about it.

I have a hooker aero chamber on my car (non-turbo / 2.5" header back) and it's not exactly quiet. It's a bit louder than stock with an 18" resonator installed. Without a resonator it was nicely loud and droned above 80.

It may not be your muffler causing the extra noise.....have you thought about adding a resonator? These are available in various lengths and are pretty much a straight through item that cut down the volume of the engine considerably.
