I got my mid resonator removed two days ago by my local exhaust guy. Anyways not thinking about this but now having that removed will my car still be able to pass emissions in Ontario Canada? Also it didn't really make much of a difference what can I do to make it sound more like a G35?

i dont know about the emmissions stuff but i am sure that others have done it and talked about emmissions so just do a search for it.

The best way to sound like a G35 is to buy one. i have heard alot of exhaust clips and although they sound good they still do not sound like a G35/350Z

get the mid muffler removed too, its not a radical change but u can actually hear the exhaust after, worth it imo

the small resonator does almost nothing. The mid muffler does the most. Also you will hear the sound difference OUTSIDE the car, not in. You wont have a problems with emissions. Mufflers and resonators do Nothing about emissions. Just sound.

The O2 sensors are before the resonators.

noob question maybe? when you guys remove the resonator, what do you put in place?

Straight pipe.. 2.25" I think

My 02 TL-P only had one resonator, the huge apple juice can one in the middle, I had it removed and had a 2" pipe welded in (this is also the same diameter as the rest of the exhaust pipes).

im sure this has been asked before, is it really worth it, do you really hear a difference? im debating on doing it this Saturday with my oil change

Yes, I hear a difference. Its not too loud in the cabin (which I like) and it purrs nice. I never wanted an exhaust system anyways. If your looking for a really loud sound, you should get an exhaust.

Check out my thread in the performance section, I posted a video clip.

exactly what i want. thanks man. i try my hardest on making this car as quiet as possible. i just dynamated the headliner on top of having the doors already. if you get a chance try it, you dont need alot just for the headliner, just a couple of strips and you cant tell a difference with just tapping the roof, next will be the floor.

kinda off subject..... sorry

Where is the mid muffler located? Picture or diagram please!!

fsttyms1

Look under the car. Its located between the cat and the Y before the mufflers. It looks like a small muffler under the car (roughly where the back seat is)

srtorelli

Pretty sure thats what I removed. Correct me if I am wrong.

stand behind your car, and get someone to rev it for you. You will hear a noticeable difference. I did.

srtorelli

I notice the difference but its only between 1000 to 3500rpm after thats its all engine. I was wondering if there is anything else I can do to the stock exhaust to make it even louder?

might as well just get a full catback if your still not happy

Thats it. You wont hear much more sound inside. Out side is minimal. Any more than that and its going to start bothering you with drone. Your best bet if you want more sound is put in a 14-20" resonator inplace of the mid muffler you removed and get a set of comptech axle back mufflers, or a complete custom magnaflow exhaust.

^ speaking like you have experience hehe

If you have headers, you will also get a little sound increase out of it.
