Tune down a muffler/exhaust?
I have a 01 dodge dakota v6. Bought it from the dealer with a split/dual exhaust. It looks sharp, with chrome tips, only problem its too loud. I am a little short on cash to pay to have an original exhaust put back on it. I am unable to tell what type of brand is used for the muffler (maybe magnaflow), but is there any way I can tune down the sound?
Youre not leaving yourself much to work with is youre short on cash....I guess about the only thing you can do for a low price is go on ebay and find a used factory muffler for a comparable size vehicle and place it incline instead of the aftermarket unit on it now.
Your not going to have much luck doing anything else simply because the aftermarket muffler is not designed to muffle sound as much as it is designed to tune it. Usually they are just a straight through pipe with some airspaces notched out around the pipe leading to a second chamber.
