OP what exhaust are you running? I was thinking about running with an STi muffler, but if the sound deadening works that well, I won't need too.

exactly how much of a difference does it make?

im running a Greddy manifold > SR20 downpipe> Apexi dual N1. difference is night and day. the apexi exhaust has a really really deep throaty tone that loved to vibrate everything. now that i installed the deadener i noticed a 50% decrease in vibration and a 60-70% decrease in overall noise

do you think there's a need for me to get an STi muffler then?

have you seen the inside? it really makes a 3" exhaust quiet.



I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen to all that when i shoot flames haha

not even gonna lie, i know nothing about the internals of mufflers and how they work. i mean your cheapest route would be to try the deadener anyways so id start with that. if you dont like it at least its only like $20-$30
