Stock muffler mods....

Today, after the fail of the exhaust I decided to do this,

You can see the perforated holes, all four pipes have these, I've already covered the lower two, with half a piece of pipe,


This is all the fibreglass stuffing. Enough for two bin bags,

Here's the pipes all covered

We did weld all the edges before putting half the stuffing back in and welding shut,

The idea of this is.  The perforated holes make the exhaust quieter and slow down the gases, by blocking off half these holes I've made the car louder and still kept away form any raspy-ness....

I can still open the other side and block the rest of the holes should I want more noise,

But tbh I'm happy with the sound, very oem just a bit deeper.

Here's a very pants vid.




Really doesnt represent the sound
