Default Not happy with my exhaust set up and I have some questions

I saw a video today of another user's car and I loved the sound. In fact, I used to love my car's sound since it had the fister mod when I bought it. The baffle broke on one and now it rattles, so I have been using a set of maxflos I bought on here. The problem is, they sound terrible. I almost think it has an exhuast leak or they just sound terrible as is. I wanted to fix my own modded cans, but any shop I spoke with said to scrap them because it wasn't worth the cost. I'm not sure the maxflos were worth $1,000, though. How much should it cost if I talk a shop into fixing them (approx)? Also, any other tips would be great. I just want a raspy flat 6 again!

How about picking up some used stock mufflers cheap and having them Gundoed for $200?

Btw just this week my Indy says he spends way too much time pulling crap exhaust systems and intakes off of Porsches and putting stock setups back on.

Send it back to Fister and see what he can do.

I have been thinking about this. I am a little nervous about getting a set that gets a rattle within a year or so. I'll have to keep my eye out for some clean cans on here. Anyone wanna trade for some maxflos!!

At first the shipping was a deterrent. But, now I am thinking I could send them in as cores and have him send me a fresh set.

Hey Twitchett,

I think those where my maxflo's… they sounded great on my car....I wonder if it was because I had 200 Cell cats and EVOMS cold air kit. How is the rest of the car set up? Also, you could have a leak between engine and muffler. Are all your sensors still installed.on the cats?

Hey Lowpue. They were your maxflos. And, just to clarify, I do believe it has everything to do with my setup and I am not blaming you as the seller. You went above and beyond and I would buy from you again. Everything else on the car is stock. I was thinking about changing the cats next, but I am looking for a lower cost option as the moment. I didn't have a leak before, but I think I will look over the winter for any possible leaks. Perhaps I will get a video and post it this weekend so everyone can have a listen. 911s can sound very "airy" (probably not the best adjective), so I am not sure it is has a leak or just sounds like that with full mufflers installed.

Yeah....I would check out why you have a sound issue. Really curious...post a video when you get a chance. Plus, I would love to hear a comparison with fister. As you know I have gone with totally custom system....really like it but maybe a tad loud....

Been on my wish list but shipping may not be worth it to and from Hawaii.

Can you post a video sound clip of your Maxflows?

It was marvelous. You can see why I want to fix them haha. I never noticed drone. There is certainly more drone on the maxflos at 2500rpm.
