Default How would i quiet down an exhaust?

I just bought a car that already had an exhaust. It's too loud for me and I was wondering how I could quiet it down without replacing the whole thing? Are there any quick fixes that won't cost too much.

Thanks

How do i find out what brand exhaust it has? I've looked on it and can't find anything anywhere? Is there some place special I should look?

I was reading about resonators. Would that work?

ahhh, you don't need to know the name brand. Measure the diameter of the tip. The go on eBay and search for "exhaust silencer" or "2.5 in silencer" etc.

the exhaust might not be able to keep the silencer in. like i know for some mufflers, they have the bolts you screw in to keep the silencer in, and others they screw in, but a brandless one - i really don't know

Look at this silencer:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-5-M...98442456QQrdZ1

All you do is drill a small hole in the exhaust tip. Put a bolt through that hole and through the silencer (once it's in) and screw it into the nut that is welded on the silencer.

That's going to be the best solution.

i would say that if you don't know what brand it is then you don't know the quality of the exhaust. so iwould just get a new exhaust system
