Magnaflow
I recently installed 2 Magnaflow mufflers on my car, just a basic axle back install. I have had the exhaust on for about 1 month now and I still think I would like a little more volume .
From what I have read in other posts, the 1998 GS400 has 3 resonators.
Would I be better removing only the front one or just the rear pair or all three?
I don't want the car to scream and I don't really want to much drone while cruising. Just looking for a little more sound on idle and acceleration, although I could deal with a little more sound while cruising...
Does the front resonator serve a different purpose than the 2 rear resonators? Possilby cancelling different frequencies?
What about "performance" aftermarket resonators?

I have 2 40's series flowmaster's with a custom Y pipe (both resontors deleted) and a custom H pipe with the 3rd cat deleted and it's the fury!!! Deep growl down low and very snapy sounding anything above 3000rpm (muscle car sounding)

I had magnaflow mufflers welded in at first with all three resonators on the car. I could hardly tell that I had just had magnaflows on the car (gs430). I took it back after a few weeks and had them remove the 2 rear side by side resonators. Def has a little more volume but not loud by any means. I consider it to sound similar to a g35 or 350z but deeper from the v8. I dont want a mustang loud exhaust but would still like more volume. Hopefully this helps you and I hope someone has a few suggestions for me as well.
