Wanted to get some opinions on my situation. Right now I have the SSA 4-2-1 headers, Carsound high flow cat, and MBRP exhaust. It is loud as hell outside (dont care about that) but it is also loud as hell inside the car. I was looking at the Flowmaster Hushpower2 inline mufflers. Do you guys think removing the MBRP resonator and putting this in its place (I would have two mufflers total) would help reduce the sound in the cabin? My only other option if this does not work is DynaMatting the interior and that looks like a royal pain.
BTW I didnt put both as a poll option because obviosly both would help more

Silencer?
I'd just do the muffler idea.
Dynamat adds a lot of weight, is a lot of work, plus you don't want your car to be very loud from the outside..don't be super rice.

i would go with a sound deading material. however i personally wouldnt use dynamat, costs to much. i would look at edeads options. same type of stuff at a MUCH lower cost. they have a paint and a adhesive. get on aim and i can explain more about it there. i had edead for my subs a while back, actually its still in the car.... hmmmmmmmm

I'd have to agree, don't pay for Dynamat Extreme, it's 4x more expensive than alternatives and only marginally better, and that's being generous. You might not even see a difference in dampening with a decibel meter vs similar products.
It won't add a lot of weight if you go with a butyl-based deadener. Maybe 25lbs or so for 100 feet, which is just enough to do the entire car, including all accessible outer body panels.
Check out the Dynomax Thrush glasspacks, they help. But a chambered inline muffler would help more.

Sound deadening for sure.... Mufflers help, but you said you would be removing the resonator to put it in, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Sound deaden the areas where it would make the most difference (back of the car and work your way forward). You won't add too much weight.

Adding a glasspack would be a quick and easy way to go. I have a HVE 4-1 header, 2.5" cat-back exhaust with a dynomax turbo muffler. It was running about 99dba then I added a glasspack and it dropped it down to about 90dba. It sounds quiter inside and I just get the deep tone from it.
