Interior noise with no resonators

[mortimersnerd]

For those of you who removed your resonators from the stock exhaust, how much louder is in inside the car? I'm considering doing this for the deeper sound, but want to make sure it isn't too much louder. Thanks!

You'll get the infamous highway drone. Its loud and crazy annoying. If you turn up the radio, its livable.

There is more highway drone, however, I found it to be not bad at all. I do get major pops and gurgles and the occasional "I-think-my-engine-is-going-to-blow" backfires. No codes or anything though. Sounds friggin badass!!!

Before you irrevocably cut up your stock exhaust, go to the source of the noise. Install an inexpensive test pipe and see how you like that. You get a little bump in power and more pleasing sounds.

DP + RP into stock, uncut catback sounds brilliant on this car. It is still civil but definitely alot louder.

I am running a CPE DP and for the first week I loved no resonators...then it got old quick. My wife got headaches on the highway and as much as I loved the around town roar, the drone got to be pretty annoying.

It was cheap and really did sound badass under throttle but I wouldn't reccomend it.

I now run a Magnaflow CBE.
