Default new Muffler type

I was looking through Ecklers site when I came across some new to me, "tune-able" Mufflers. BBK Corvette Vari-Tune; or something to that effect. Available in different sizes, and not too awful expensive, but without connecting pipes or tips. A bolt on the end is used to change the sound/loudness/resonance. Looks interesting...

I have seen them for mustangs as well.A tuneable muffler is more of a gimmick for a street car IMO.If I wanted quiet at cruise and a bear at WOT I would either go with Corsa or the Dynomax VT.Having to crawl under the car to adjust loudness is so much a "fad" to me.I am too old and lazy for that.

Those type of mufflers started years ago and are now mostly reserved for ricers. No thanks.

If you can find a used Sound Effects system, you will have the real deal.

I agree. I remember those from my C4 ownership days and they were pretty cool.
