here is a pic of the insert. the piece is sliped into the exhaust so all you see is the circular part and the tab that is welded.

^ Yeah but whats 3hp?

If you can't stand the droning its well worth it. Even if it does make them as quiet as stock.

So in the end your really just getting them for the looks.

OK...believe it or not, u somewhat do feel a power loss. I actually think stock mufflers make more power than comptechs w/ the inserts. As for noise, when u first start the car it sounds 100% completely stock, but some of the droaning is still there. Much quieter but only removes about half teh droaning IMO.

and no welding is required...just drill one small hole per muffler thats not even noticable even when u remove them from the mufflers. And if u get them..spray paint them black and u'll harly even notice them in there!

A few pics of the quiet inserts installed You'll need to flip through a few pics to get there. I had posted this page earlier.

Just don't shift into 5th (assuming you have 5 A/T) unless over 65 mph. takes care of the droning

BTW- I'm running without the quite tips now. But when they were in they made a big difference in reducing the droning; especially with the CT h/b-pipe/e installed. But I really missed the awesome exhaust note when the tips were installed so I removed them. However, sometimes when I'm commuting, I'm tempted to put them back in - that droning can get a little annoying.

I love the ct exhaust, it sounds sooooooo nice, yes there is the droning that can drive you crazy BUT between the looks and sound, I just love it!

I tried them. They really took almost all the sound away. I took them off after about a week.
I had pics but can't find them right now. I didn't like the way they looked either. I painted mine black, & they still looked weird.

Keep it in 4th on the highway and you can hardly hear the droning, even with the quiet tips out.

However you'll be using more gas but there's always a tradeoff.
