I have a magnaflow DTM style muffler and it is deep and is not that loud. it cuts off at about 3,5 or 4,0 rpm.

there is a muffler...or was it the whole cat back exhaust? anyway...theres one available from japan. i think it costs like 400 bucks.. the guy selling it is in japan right now though so you'd have to wait for him to get back. he's the guy we TL folks turn to for JDM parts. he's probably over there right now looking for new sh*t for us 1st gen's!

I've heard that someone makes a muffler that has a valve built in it so that when you are driving normally, it is quite quiet, but when you accelerate, the valve opens up and reduces back pressure so that the car has more power.

Does anyone have any info on this?

i also forgot to mention that the brand is called fujitsubo and i would expect it to be loud. anything that adds hp will cause your car to be loud. hey, id go for it! you'd be the 1st UA2/UA3 in the US to have it on (that i know of)
