Default motorcycle muffler

anyone ever heard of people putting motorcycle mufflers on their cars? theres a couple of cars around in my town that have them and it doesnt sound bad. any drawbacks to putting on a muffler from a bike compared to an actual performance car muffler?

have no idea, but i don't see why it wouldn't work. got any specific part references? you can do just about anything if you frankenstein an exhaust like i did. just a question of setup. some headers produce bad noise while others are nice.

I would think the bike muffler would be too restrictive, since they're pretty small. unsure.gif
