Anyone have an audio or mp3 file of their exhaust/muffler? Especially interested in hearing what stock exhaust with resonator removed, but others appreciated too.

 

 

start with maximadriver.com ... look under links or media.

 

i think a forum shouold be made with this

 

dont EVER....E-V-E-R take off the resonator. it will sound like complete burbly sh-t! trust me, i did it and it lasted for a week until i went and had one put back on.

 

Actually, that burbly sound is what I'm looking for - kind of like an early 90's Euro Lumina/powerboat sound. Was the rest of the exhaust stock (cat and muffler), and you just replaced res. with straight pipe? Also, how much louder does it get and does it drone on the highway?

 

yes it drones. yes it is burbly. and yes it sounds like you're dragging a huge trash bag full of tin cans behind you when you're driving.

 

What kind of muffler are you running?

Unless you have a ****ty rice muffler or are running with a Y-pipe (no pre-cats) & no cat, you wont have the "tin can" sound.

 

Guess I'll record my exhaust sometime. I have no droning, yet I have no resonators at all. Y pipe to OEM cat to Stillen B to OEM muffler with a 4" non resonated tip. Its still fairly quiet, so I'm happy.

 

What kind of exhaust is the rest of your car? Is it all stock otherwise? Sounds like you have a leak somewhere.

 

i have a y-pipe and muffler and removed crimp now. before, i had a muffler and no resonator and it sounded liek shlt then i added the y-pipe and the noise multiplied. then i added a resonator and its a lot smoother now.
