Anyone running a muffler delete? How loud is it or is it mainly only when on the throttle? I dont mind some drone and being a little loud but I dont want to be obnoxiously loud

 

Sorry to suggest that you may end up with a car that sounds like a "mooing cow" due to the CVTs application of power. From my perspective, the sound you have now from the stock muffler avoids the "droning" that could happen. There is a fair discussion from others on this site about what changes you can do the might avoid this situation. Good luck!

 

Here is a video of a maxima with a deleted muffler setup + maganpack resonator
I really like how it sounds but I'm not sure if its too loud or not. The "mooing" effect youre talking about, do you mean at idle like how it is in the video? If thats what you meant I like that, but its all personal preference

 

That does not sound good to me.......

 

Agreed about the personal preference comment. What I am suggesting is that when you depart under partial throttle from 10 Mph up to 70 Mph, does the car moo or drone during that period? Usually this is more noticeable from other listeners outside the car from say 50 to 100 ft away. For me the car sounds coarse and a bit raw but then again, it's subjective.

 

Understandable, everyone has their preferences!

 

From that youtube video it does sound to drone more in that 10-70mph range but its not too loud unless full throttle like when he took off.

In this clip from a facebook user, the sound is less deep but cleaner.. this was my other option route

 

Much better and livable..

 

I appreciate the input! I may go with the second setup for the cleaner sound just wish it was a little deeper or louder by the slightest

 

That's my friends car. It's sounds good in person. I did just the muffler delete on mine and love the sound. I get compliments all the time. Had alittle drone but nothing bad

 

Which one is your friends car? Do you mind posting a vid of yours? Would love to hear how yours sounds!

 

Let me know if you do it would love to hear it! With stillen mufflers, smaller resonator and intake my car is already borderline too loud in person. I can only imagine if you did a straight pipe, my neighbors already dont like me leaving at 5am to go to work, they would kill me if i did that haha. you can never really tell how loud it is from the videos, im sure they are much louder and sound way better in person! just putting an intake on your car first, you will notice how ridiculously loud your car will be under throttle with even just the stock exhaust.

 

For sure man I'll keep you updated but it wont be for a long while. Trying to save up for some wheels right now and they'll run me around 1000 or 1900 depending on which one I choose haha. I'll probably start with the muffler delete and if I dont like it i can easily just slap some magnaflow mufflers on there!

 

wheels are next for me, still waiting to get my splitter and diffuser installed, not rushing on that... any idea on the wheels yet?

 

Niche gammas or sectors

or...

My favorite, Ferrada FR4 but these would cost me an arm and a leg

 

beautiful wheels man, i wish I didn't just get new tires for 18's. man.. see, after I put an exhaust on my car my gf now wants to put one on her '17 nissan rogue which is just nuts.. and low and behold.. stillen just came out with one in the last couple weeks.. a cat back exhaust.. Im gonna get stuck buying it for her, watch. hahha.. it actually sounds pretty good.. maybe thats the only way to get it so she doesnt want to use my car anymore


sorry for the offtopic.. found the timing too funny

 

 

lmao yeah, i ordered it. probably the only people on the island with a catback exhaust on a rogue. haha

 

Would love to post a video of mine once this site wants to upgrade to current abilities to post stuff ������ can't post a video unless I link it somewhere else. Which is Bs.

 

Ahh man dont keep me waiting that long haha! Post it on youtube or vimeo!

 

 

 

 

Hey bud. If u look on YouTube. At muffler delete 8th gen. Mine sounds exactly the same

 

Sounds like a ricer fart can pile of crap... Why would you do that to that car?

 

I appreciate the videos...was thinking of doing a simple resonator delete which hoping it would be a a little less loud than a muffler delete.

 

Does anyone know te set up to get it to sound like that?

 

My advice is don't get rid of the resonator, you'll have crazy highway cruising drone ( trust me I been though it). Instead get a smaller resonator. Do it proper and don't cheap out on the exhaust. You get better performance with the resonator. My SR puts me back in my seat with my setup. A good y pipe and axle back will give you a slight gain and good sound.

Check out my setup here...

 

Sage advice otherwise you will sound like a bubble bee rice wagon.

 

what all did you need to do the muffler delete and what did you need for the resonator delete? I’m looking to do mine tomorrow any advice and what I’ll need is appreciated thanks!
