Swapped stock resonator for a Carven

Was looking for a touch more sound, and no offense to those that have done deletes, but it’s not the vibe I was looking for.

Decided to cut out the massive stock resonator on my 2018 Maxima and replace with a Carven TR series. Have used them on all my v8s and the sound is incredible.

This is what I thought it would be and I’m digging it, especially with the v6 & cvt.

Are you calling the two rear mufflers that we see in the video "resonators"? Changing the resonator, which is just after the converter, will not make that much difference in sound.

nope, calling the resonantor the “resonator” - and indeed, swapping that massive resonantor for the smaller carven did increase the sound.
