I have a '99 Contour Zetec MTX with 186,xxx miles on it.
The car is stock except for a short ram air intake. The muffler on the car looks like an aftermarket muffler. The inlet of the muffler looks like its a little bigger than the rest of the exhaust. And it now has a 1"-2" hole in the bottom which is making the exhaust louder now. If it gets any louder, it might be too loud.
If I cut off the muffler and replace it with a straight pipe, will it be really loud? I searched YouTube but I could only find one video of a Contour with stock exhaust with no muffler. Its hard to tell what it sounds like, the speakers on my computer suck.
I like the exhaust to have a little rumble to it but I don't want it to be too loud either. And I don't want it to sound like a Civic.
What about a Thrush turbo muffler with cost about $30 at autozone.
Im on a tight budget right now. So I need to keep it kind of cheap. If I had my way, I would get the exhaust off of a SVT Contour but that will have to wait I guess.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
