*Sound clip* of stock exhaust minus B-pipe resonator.
So for a cheap $30 I had an exhaust shop take out the B-pipe resonator. The vid below is a sound clip. There is some rasp, and the exhaust sounds much deeper when driving.

Anybody have a clip of one of a 3 liter or you think it would sound the same? I like the deep sound at idle and startup just not so sure about the rev-rasp. I could get used to it though, 30 bucks i mean come on- which one is the b-pipe exactly?

The rasp is not that apparent, since I was revving from idle to 4,000rpm back to idle for the first few seconds you hear the rasp. But normal driving there is no rasp, as heard by a friend as I did a quick drive-by simulating regular driving with the car shifting at 2,xxxrpm.

alot of people on another forum i'm a member of think it sounds like poo. They say that 'a genuine timex is better than a fake rolex'. I think it sounds pretty cool though. Our stock exhausts have zero sound to them, ya know? It's not like we're chunkin flowmasters in there! Just a nice suttle change to give it some cajones. That's what i'm thinkin, anyway.

Well ya, resonator = silencer and the whole purpose to is to quiet down the exhaust. But in my case, you hear the exhaust in the cabin when accelerating, like a very quiet "wooo" sound. It does not drone at all, or too loud.
#25
So whats with the resonator and muffler, both silencers and work together? Only difference is the resonator isnt as powerful so you can cut it out and it sounds a little better? Cause ive heard cars(not a maxima but i wonder how it would sound) that just run without a muffler and they dont sound good at all.
#26
Yes, the resonator and the muffler work together to quiet down the exhaust. Most car manufacturers use specific combos to get the sound they want, some even use harmonic dampeners. But whether or not cutting out the resonator to make the exhaust louder sounds good is subjective.
#28
People...seriously now, the resonator = muffler, muffler = resonator. What do they do? Quiet things down....they do not affect emissions, do not damage the cats if removed...why? Because it is just a metal box with fiberglass, which tones down the exhaust gases that are flowing through. So what happens when removed? Your exhaust becomes louder....just that...louder.

Had it done too, 3.0
I just got this done the other day on my 2k1, it sounds pretty good better than i expected actually. I think the resonator quiets more on the infiniti than the maxima, cause mine doesnt seem as loud as his. Cost me 50 bucks, cheapest i could find, its a little bit deeper at startup and idle and has a little more tone when driving. its not as raspy or high pitched as i thought it would be with the 3.0 compared to the 3.5, cause his sounds pretty good with a bigger engine i thought it would sound like **** with smaller but i like it, and def. recommend it
