Im looking into putting a catback exhaust on my TL-S, mainly looking for sound with a little gain in power, im doing headers later just want to get the exhaust done now. I have a question though, the stock exhaust system on our car goes like this from the headers back

Cat > Resonator > Split Pipe > 2X Mufflers

What if I did this to save money? Would it hinder my performance?

Cat > Resonator > Single In = Dual Out > Pipes /w Tips

Hope you guy's know what im trying to do here? I looked at the Magnaflow website and am looking into the single in dual out mufflers they have. I don't know the pipe diameter before the split into 2 pipes though.. does someone know?

Here is what im looking at.... http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/...one=main&id=632

Any help would be appreciated, thanks all and have a happy turkey day.... im stuffed

 

the link is broken, you'll have to fix it.

3" inlet is pretty big, plus i dont know if it would fit, without custom fab.....but the type S exhaust is already free flowing as it is stock. i mean you could probably try it if you want, but your not going to gain anything out of it besides the money out of your wallet. just get some headers, highflow cat, keep the stock res. or get a new res. and have the magnaflow 18432 custom fitted. piping bigger than 2 1/2 is pointless

plus this is the CL forum not TL

 

It's free flowing im aware but im mostly doing this for sound/look. And yes im aware this is the CL forum but since this could be done on both a CL or TL I thought i'd post to get people's opinion, thanks for yours


I put together something in paint to give you guys a better idea of what im trying to do....

 

to each his own


i just think its pointless

 

You're right... im just not used to my cars being so quiet, I think i'll unbolt the axle-back for now till I get some headers. Wonder if anyone has done this?

 

sound/look = Comptech
And where are you going to fit that muffler? The spare tire well is right in the middle.

 

Pointless mann..

 

Ok, i'll scrap the idea. Should I just remove my resonator and midmuffler? I hope it doesn't sound like a can without the resonator though.

 

No, do not remove the resonator. It will sound like crap. Trust me.

 

listen to this noob!

jk nice to see you around again, man! i hope for your safe return.

 

Too late, I already did... im pissed if I put the resonator back on will it still sound like a G35?
