First post here, and was hoping to get some input on one of my first mods. For context, I have already installed K&N intake for that guaranteed +20hp , and now I am looking for an exhaust mod to go along with it. A muffler delete is what I was initially pursuing, however upon my various searches on the forum it seems that many people instead do resonator deletes. Is there a reason for this? Is it more popular, or better in some way? I would like to do one or the other, but maybe option C, just keeping the intake and leaving the exhaust alone, would be best. What are your guy's thoughts?

 

Which K&N? The Cone?

Take off the Stock Mufflers and put a set of Borla Pro XS on if you want to save on. A muffler delete or Res is going to give you a Drone and resonation in the cabin that sounds like cheap crap.

Or you can do a muffler delete, and/or res delete with droooooooone, and ride around sounding like a Suzuki Hayabusa Motorcycle going Waaaaaaaaaaaha if you like that.

Here is another inexpensive option that does not have Drone and sounds deep.

A 2nd low cost option is this Megan that sounds like a semi Mustang.

hello I just stumbled on this fourm I have the invidia which sounds good at low rpm but sounds completely stock at higher. Did I just get the wrong exhaust or is that to expect from an axle back?

 

I've still yet to hear a good sounding exhaust on a Toyota/Lexus product outside of the LFA.

The intake noise however on these cars.. is beautiful.
