Looking to quiet my sidepipes down , does Unique offer any kind of optional "quiet " mufflers ? The original mufflers are probably empty except for the Vortex cones I installed and while I love the noise it is getting to me on longer drives. To bad because they still look great......

Bitten is correct... both with his observation of the sound/tone of the Unique side pipes, and the solution :)

Unique side pipes loud huh...My sidepipes are not loud at all, they sound good though. I have looked up inside and there is definately a long baffle type insert, it has cut louvers all around and from one end to the other. Since I did not build this car, I can't be 100% sure they are the unique pipes, but I am making that assumption.
I hear they have a lot of restriction,I am interested in making them free flowing and a little deeper and louder. I just read in a thread yesterday abbout the baffles being installed in the cpipes backwards so the louvers are going in a direction so tghe air goes over them rather than getting caught in them, that made sense to me, I am going to check mine today and see if mine were installed this way.
I have heard many things like LOBAK racing mufflers, hollow out my sidepipes and install cones to keep the noise down.
I am open to all ideas and suggestions...Thanks

Hey Pete, are these still on your car? I would love to hook up with you and check them out, and you check out mine. I am also in CT. Who knows, maybe we can trade...lol
