so ive been wanting to make my car a tad bit louder but i dont want to buy a aftermarket exhaust... has anyone removed the resonator on there stock exhaust? or the cat? and how does it sound??

 

I think you need to ask me more about my car since what you're doing is what I have on my car

I have the secondary cats removed. Has a slightly louder sound...a low growl but only when accelerating. Hardly any difference at idle.

PM me if you want to check it out in person.

 

haha u know what imma just ask u from now on lol

 

Midpipe with stock exhaust.

 

Stock exhaust w/ resonator delete:

 

My stock exhaust with the resonator delete definitely doesnt sound like that video lol. I heard the resonator delete with the m2 exhaust sounds really good. Plus it saves you from putting a big hole in your wallet over the f sport exhaust!

 

I had the stock exhaust with the res delete for a couple months before I was hungry for more noise and got the M2. Love the combo of the M2 and resonator delete; not too loud, but nice and low and aggressive.

 

I wouldn't touch the cat... it's highly illegal, and most shops won't do it. If the shops get caught messing with a good cat, they get FINED BIG TIME.

Might as well get a mid-pipe which "deleted" the cats already.... BTW, this will technically make it street illegal. But that depends on how picky the cops are.

If you don't want it too loud, did you check out Tanabe MT exhausts... I have them and they sound nice without being overly loud like other aftermarket exhaust. It has a nice deep tone without heavy droning of other exhaust. The price is pretty reasonable... I consider it a step up in loudness from stock.

 

I still think it needs to be louder but it's a nice cheap mod.

 

I gave a stock midpipe with resonator delete up for grabs if anyone in Northern Florid/ Southern Gerogia wants it. PM me for pics or info.

 

Nice, thanks for posting up videos guys.

 

yeah thanks guys i just want a little noise but does the resonator delete sound raspy in person?

 

At higher rpms, but I think it is pretty quiet can't really hear it when driving. It's just something you gotta hear in person, for around $50 it's worth a try.

 

How are you guys deleting the resonator, muffler shop welding a straight pipe?

 

Yup, for around $50.
