I'm gonna say "by getting the OEM unit".

Bosal is aftermarket, and made to be "performance loud".

Cheers.. or try adding a resonator before the rear muffler.

Install an OEM exhaust system, aftermarket performance stuff will flow
better to give you a tad more power at the expense of being louder,
that's just how it is.

Midas...

Is there a resonator in the system now? Was there one at one time?
Seriously it just might be a loud exhaust..

Thanks Steve
When I bought the car it did not have a resonator and was not too loud until
the muffler went . Now it sounds worse with the new muffler . If i was to
install a resonator do you have an idea where i could purchace one and where
it would be placed on the car.

IPD should have them, they'll know where it goes in the factory system,
hard to say with something aftermarket.

hell if I know!

Sorry dude, perhaps Midas or a similar shop (like cole) could fit one they
have. I think a muffler would be a BAD IDEA, but a simple pipe that gets
fat so the gas can expand and cool a bit might work. To my (perhaps
incorrect) knowledge thats what a resonator is.

Is the new system just unbearable? Do you think you will get used to it?
Bonsel is suposta be good stuff! Is it any more powerful at least?
