Ok guys, i have longtubes with no cats, no mid muffler xpipe in stead, still have stock, resonators, and no rear muffers and its still not loud enough... if i take the resonatora off and replace it with a straight pipe will it make a difference in sound? Im scared it will sound like those lt1 firebirds and camaros

damn bud....I guess you could just unbolt the back half of the exahust and just run open headers....

It sounds like you may need a dose of hearing your exhaust from the outside (on the inside our cars really muffle down the exahust even when highly modified). Get a buddy to take it up the road and back while you stand and listen. Then tell me its not loud enough!

Exactly. Its easy for me to forget how loud my exhaust really is for everyone else outside of the car (when I run now mufflers). Like Troy said let someone else drive your car to put it in perspective.

Removing the resonators may not increase the overall level of sound but should definitely add some rasp.

Cutouts right after the catless connections should gain you some more volume.

Why would you guys say that the loudeness won't increase removing the factory resonators ? I'd say the tone would increase, those resonators are fairly small inside, it'll sound like a dump truck on startups without mufflers though , but it should be plenty loud.

^ What he said. And If that doesnt do it I dont know what to tell you loo.

Get rid of the stock mufflers. They made my system super quiet when I ran them with obx headers no cats and the x pipe.

 

[Roadcone]

if its too quiet right now you need to have your hearing checked... I would put money on being able to hear that damn thing over a mile away at night... take out all of those big comfy plus seats you've got and that thick acoustic glass the cars come with and make sure you get rid of our soft carpet that has extra dampening to make sure its quiet inside too... you'll quickly realize how obnoxiously loud your current setup is once you do all of that...

 

[camopaint0707]

I would say open headers. That will sounds like firecrackers going off.

 

[DougHG8]

Put a cam in it; that will help too!

 

[srt/gtx]

I ran open headers for a day before connecting the rest of my exhaust, center console rattled like thier was 100$ of loose change, is the car going sound like one of those old ass v8 pickups that sounds like ass thats the main reason, btw my tuner at vector said my cars slower without muffelrs

Lol yea it shakes the world with open headers. That's pretty much what I run at the track with just a foot long down pipe off each header...and it sounds nasty after you add a cam!

As far as the mufflers; how could it possibly be slower? It's less weight and less restriction...

He said i need some back pressure so idk

 

[BLKG8]

Hey 1970 called....































And they want their back pressure theories back!

 

[camopaint0707]

Yeah I was gonna say I thought I read somewhere about back pressure things don't really come into play until you make like 700hp

 

[hayabusa160]

no such thing as needed back pressure. i dont even know how the hell someone can even think that.

its all about velocity,

 

[Slizzo]

He said i need some back pressure so idk

Yeah, guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Stock mufflers cost something like 15HP at around the 500RWHP mark. That's with your standard ARH/Kooks all the way to the axlebacks (headers with 3" collector, 3" to the X, then 2.5" to the axles).

When the tuner at vector motorsports said i need some back pressure with mufflers, i was like oh really lmao

Like everyone was saying...run open headers. I have full exhaust, no cats, no resonators with flowmaster 10s. This setup is pretty f-ing loud!! Especially when you go WOT. The thing screams!

 

[BlackPantherExpress]

Changing the resonators out would help a little bit. Running 3" tubing all the way back from the headers (with a 3" x-pipe installed too) would help more to increase decibels.

I have ARH LT's with 3" all the way back and Solo axle backs, it's straight piped. In car, its tolerable. Outside, it sounds like a freggin nascar or the like. It's ear shattering. And to be honest, I don't the quality of sound is that great under partial throttle accelerations and below 2-3k RPM. Get it above there though and it sings. I could meet up with you one night this week if you want to hear it. Maybe Wednesday night.
