For me, the MAIN reason for a aftermarket exhaust is the SOUND.
anybody know the specs for our stock exhaust?
2.5" with two resonators and a muffler and a 4" tip.
I think a lot of the reason why the stock exhaust can be sorta drony is because of the resonators. And once you chop that out with aftermarket, it actually gets a lil quieter.
Then why do people say the aftermarket exhausts can be even quieter than stock?
Please report back bro! I don't want to remove either cat as I am worried that any exhaust mods before the 2nd cat can lead to smoking issues. If the resonator removal makes yours significantly louder, I'll probably look into that.
having a custom 3 inch pipe made from the cat-back is most likely going to cost just as much as a cat-back and not include a muffler. after the muffler it will cost more than an aftermarket cat-back most likely, not very cost effective.
Brian, you must have an exhaust that has 50 miles on it, because my stock exhaust was droany as hell on the highway, and by far quiet inside the car. My aftermarket exhaust is quieter inside the car, and eliminated the droan you say is "for 17 year old kids who dont know shyt about shyt with their hats on sideways." Buying a can or a muffler for 50 bucks and installing it is not the same as buying a decent quality aftermarket exhaust system.
I already have a muffler on my car. But im asking if I do 3 inch piping from the cat back if i will lose/gain anything from it?
tomorrow im going to try and get my last resonator on my car removed! Im trying to think if it would help my car at all if I got 3 inch piping from the cat back? I have a race pipe installed so I think if i got 3 inch piping back from that it would compliment it?...
