Well, one of the first days I had the car I heard a buzzing from the
back that turned out to be a long strip of steel that looked like it
had formerly been a baffle in the OEM muffler, I ended up pulling it
out with a pair of needle nose, so the car has never been quiet. My
primary concern is that it have a muffler that's decent that I didn't
spend a fortune on. The PO had had a weird extractor welded onto the
end of the pipe at some point which I took off with a hacksaw so it was
a single pipe exhaust anyway, I'd be fine with that right now. It is a
LITTLE loud with no muffler at all though.
