I'm having someone make up a left exit cat back (or downpipe back) exhaust. Now due to size constraints and not having the cross over area at the back of a car to put a nice resonator/muffler, these seem to be my options.

What have others done for muffling a left exit while making it fit next to the transmission?

I drive the car on the street and the local track has a 96db limit and the AutoX pad has a 92db limit. I think it's going to be too loud for AutoX...

both of those together would make for a decent sound.

I can afford anything, I'm just a cheap ****** who dosen't like spending my hard earned cash.

I can get two of those for sure. And it seems like that will have no problem clearing. Would you run them one right after the other or space them out a bit?

what's the difference between all 3 of those? Just length?

you go with one it will be fairly loud.
2 just right.
anything more (or bigger sizes of either) will also reduce sound quite well

Ansa silverline is all you need.

Ok, now what about a single 16'' long Borla XR1 straight through?

I think what i may do is build it with one, and then if it's too loud I'll jut have a second added.

"loud" is relative. one mans loud is anothers silent. for me I wanted something really deep but barely louder than the stock muffler. I got very close to that with a 26x8 magnaflow like brainey and many others are using. surprisingly I didn't even need a resonator.

Here is a clip (though its hard to tell from the shitty quality)




with a single like the one you posted it will be SIGNIFICANTLY louder.
you decide

Lets just put it this way. No way in hell I'm running something as big and heavy as Brain's. It's a track car and I'm JUST trying to get past sound restrictions. That and not raspy is all I care about. It can be loud, just not raspy loud.

I also drive an FD RX7 with a straight through exhaust to an HKS super dragger exhaust... so I'm used to LOUD! ... lol

ya, so neither of those you posted I would consider "loud"... louder than average... yes but not undrivable obnoxious loud. I think I'll give the XR1 a go. And if it's too loud I'll add a dynomax.

Oh mine was not loud by any means. So if that is "quiet" for you then don't even bother with any resonators.

Can I convince you to just do a regular right exit? This setup sounds perfect to me and since we're the same age I think you'd like it too.

I have a new one of these sitting in the box in my garage if you want to buy it:

I also have a new 6" dia x 18 magnaflow muffler that I've decided not to use.

In addition, I have my old (yet practically new) Enthuza 3" NB turbo speeder with about 500-1000Km on it. Though you don't have an NB.

I seem to have accumulated a bit of a collection.

I ended up going with a gigantic Y8S approved 5x11x22 custom made 3" Enthuza. Jason did an excellent job.

Those dynomax bullets that Y8s linked work great, are light and last. I've used them in both SM and IT Miata exhausts. Put that bullet where the cat would be and the run a down turn to the ground just after the driver's seat. That'll put the noise behind you and keep the exhaust very light.
