Deleting resonators and muffler?

[SharkDiver]

LOL ^ I didnt know that was you, I was one of the guys who asked you about which resonator you removed.. Should have just asked here.

Surprise!!Its me....(burnout)

Like I said,If you want to think its a resonator then fine.Im ok with that but I would bet money that it is packed with fiber glass or something.

just cuase it might have fiberglass in thier does not mean its not a resinator.....

Ok..I give up...

Is it worth having warranty and emission problems?

For the love of God, do not get any sort of glass-packed muffler/resonator. That stuff melts and blows out over the course of a month or two, then the whole system is actually louder than before.

Get a high-quality resonator like Magnaflow. Go stainless if you can.

You will only have emissions problems if you remove a cat, mufflers and resonators only produce a little back pressure and reduce the decibels of an exhaust system. Only should worry if you mess with the catalytic converters.

 

[dparm1984]

Anything after the cat converter will have a negligible impact on emissions...once the exhaust gases have exited the converter they aren't going to get dirtier or cleaner because of some tubing or chambers.

Just be cognizant of your local laws on exhaust noise & modification.

i bet it's not this loud!

heres mine with the 2 resonators removed i think imma removed the muffler too soon its sounds really nice but not loud enough for me

na the definition of a resianteor is the straight through desigen with hundreds of little wholes to pick up the air thats what that "muffler looking thing is" a true muffler has chambers etc..

An exhaust resonator is a tuned cavity designed to invert the sound waves to reduce sound transmission in a certain frequency range by cancellation. A resonator can also be used to positively reinforce certain frequencies as in the body of a violin. A muffler is designed to attenuate noise across the frequency spectrum, although none are without peaks and valleys when viewed in the frequency spectrum.

Resonators are used to flatten the frequecy response of the exhaust, the muffler is used to reduce volume. All resonators provide some muffling, and all mufflers affect the frequency response to some degree.

What "sounds" good is very subjective. If it sounds good to you, I suppose it may be worth the trouble to you.

I like the stealth aspect of the stock exhaust. I had Supertrapps on my 5.0 Mustang and the drone became very irritating. I won't go there again.

When I hear a car driving down the street with a loud exhaust it just makes me think (ricer)

 

[dparm1984]

I think people need to stop associating noise with performance. There's some pretty quiet cars out there that are frighteningly fast.

The last thing you should want is to draw attention from the police. If they hear you coming from half a mile away they are going to have their eye on you when you go past. Sleeper FTW.

trust me it sounds best when its all off straight pipe from the cats..(drinks)

u took off all 3?

hmm imma take off the muffler and put in my Corksport racepipe thursday then

what about back pressure????

 

[samsel450r]

i was thinking about going straight pipe and putting one of these on....http://images.google.com/imgres?img...rev=/images?q=+spiral+exhaust&um=1&hl=en&sa=N

 

[Captain KRM P5]

what about back pressure????

in general, backpressure is better for naturally aspirated cars than it is for a forced induction (turbo) car

 

[dparm1984]

Backpressure is not really good for an NA car.

 

[SPEED3TYPE2]

Backpressure is not really good for an NA car.

it is if its a smaller N/A four cylender type of motor, smaller engines need backpressure to create better torque
