Default Exhaust Questions!

hey guys!

So I have PPE headers and Joe-z Cat back exhaust system and i want my car to be little louder now. I mean don't get me wrong, I love the way it sounds now its just I want it more louder!
I've seen people delete the Joe-z Mufflers and replace with straight pipes, (PPE headers, Joe-z cat back /mufflers delete) but i heard that you need some back pressures.

Anyways, my question is have anyone here delete the resonators on Joe-z cat back? ( resonators on joe-z mid pipe) and do you guys think it would be louder with the resonators delete?

let me know guys!

Don't know the answer to your question but can't believe you want to go even louder , removing the resonators will just make it ridiculously loud

I have the same setup as you right now and I feel it's just right, at the end of the day everyone has his own taste.

yes it is loud already but i want little more louder! i guess i already got use to this sound (ppe/joe-z)
but when i looked at the resonators on joe-z mid pipe, they looked very tiny! so i dont think it will make any difference..thats why i want know if someone have done this lol

This is mufflers removed. If you see his other videos he has a fly by but it does sound raspy. I'm not sure about a resonator delete though, but a muffler delete i'm not a fan of rasp.

Delete the resonators you'll love it and it'll b perfect. Delete the mufflers and it'll be really loud! But you'll have problems down the road, trust me I went through that already.

My car with straight pipes, didn't run correctly and to me felt sluggish, stick with a cat back or highflow mufflers with a resonator delete for louder and you'll love it, or go straight pipe and risk it for the sound, imo I had a lot of problems with it if you want more info go ahead and ask but isn't worth it . Sounds good though

thanks for the video bro! wow super loud but i really like it haha

but for now i will go ahead and remove the resonators on joe-z midpipe and keep the mufflers
so its would be PPE headers / Joe-Z cat back straight pipe with only Mufflers at the end

by the way what kind of problems bro?

I wouldn't delete anything off the Joe Z exhaust except the mufflers and that is so I can replace them with a set of mufflers with "real" exhaust tips. I still haven't done that because I really love the sound of my Joe Z exhaust as is and don't want to tamper with it because of the possible sound changes. Good luck in trying to achieve that louder exhaust note.
