Hello /o/, I drilled two holes in my muffler to get some louder sounds out of my MX-5. There was no noticeable difference in sound and there is also this weird packing material that seems to be inside the muffler so I suspect my holes wont even do much since the interior is lined with this shit.
What should I do? Make more holes?
It's called muffler cause it muffles the beautiful sound your engine makes.
Take that shit off.
>>16825002
take the baffles out of the back box or take the back box off completely
just drilling holes will make it sounds p shit, just remove the muffler if you want loud.

>>16825014
I don't want to take it off. I like the idea of being able to titrate the decibels up by just drilling more holes. The problem is that it isn't doing anything. Should I just make an even bigger hole and pull some of the packing out?
Sure
>>16825002
If you're serious about getting some real noise out of your car you want some exhaust flange spacers.
>>16825044
Haha, that is actually a pretty clever idea. The issue is that even with a 1 washer gap that thing would be fucking loud as shit.
>actually having an exhaust
cringy
>>16825060
And that you would have removed the muffler from the system....retard.
try drilling two exhausts down your hole for massive sound effects OP
maybe try to drill on the exhaust pipe itself rather then the muffler?
Why is it so hard to get some actual fucking advice from you guys? I know it seems like a ricey approach but this is the best way to accomplish what I want to do.
>free
>no effect on air:fuel ratio
>dont need to get under car to do
>get work my way up on the loudness scale
I just need to know if making more holes will solve my dilemma or if I need to start using a pair of tweezers to pull this packing material out
>taking the muffler off of anything with less than a 10:1 power to weight ratio

You need to find a way to get that big box open OP, under the cover are batteries which power the muffler to ensure that it works and makes stuff quiet. Remove the batteries for your muffler and it'll be much louder, trust me I've done this before
>>16825127
Because it's a ricey approach that just shouldn't be done. There's no advice for doing shit the wrong way, that's call misinformation.
OP, you will be laughed at. 4 bangers are the worst things to straight pipe period.

>flooding cab with exhaust
>>16825127
Pull the material out or take the whole muffler off you fucking autist, you probably won't take our advice suggested in the first few post anyways so go fuck yourself.

/o/ is disappointing.
The packing you see in your holes is fiberglass muffler packing. That's the fluff that's soaking up the sound in your muffler. Get tweezers or needle nose pliers, pull it out and the exhaust will be able to escape through your holes. Right now it's still trapped by the packing going out the back if it didnt get louder.
Instead of this thread, You could also just have Googled how a muffler works.

cut it off and weld a louder one on, single chamber should be good and it'll be a lot lighter
>>16825350
Would sound better if it was deeper/lower. Turbo blowoff is the only thing that sounded good.

Aside from sounding like an exhaust leak at idle, it's not too bad with just one washer
>>16825002
Op, just take the mufflers off your car entirely. It's not that difficult, and you can put them back on when you need to get smogged.
Also, drilling holes won't do anything. Just take the muffler off, test the sound, if you like it then keep it that way, if you don't, put them back on.

He could just drain the gear fluid out of the muffler. You know, the gear fluid keeping the muffler bearings quiet.
