i call ....dude i jus took the mid muffler in the back off and it sounded good enough....got a nice and drone sound out of it...remember we dont have a 350Z or Ferrari....u could go with the Dynomax Resonator...give it a lil bit becuz after a while mine got a lil louder and sufficient enough...

 

im waiting on my dynomax to come in then once i get it i am going to be happy because i get my sound that i have been looking for

 

i can take pictures... theyre both still in the trunk

even my girl says theres nothing from the outside..

and to earlier.... im sure i would get tired of those straight pipes... but pulling people over here for exhaust definately wont be happening soon. especially when the cops get exhaust work done at one of the local shops on their bikes.. its the loudest sh*t on the planet lol

 

HAHA...i was jus messin wit u man........but honestly i love the way my car sounds with it removed....remove ur intake resonator if u havent done that yet...it takes off some weight and a free wanna be CAI mod...when i did that the sound became more drone...

 

if i remember thats on the drivers side right behind the front bumper right?

if so it'll have to be a sunday project up on the wheel stands because of the bumper removal

 

ive heard alot about those things...

any chance you can explain it to me?
people put a resonator on their car to make it sound louder?
i just never understood how that worked...

 

I think the problem was that it wasn't seated correctly. Code hasn't come back but it probably still had some life yanked out of it when the pipe fell.

As far as saying I shouldn't have done it...well I say that mainly because this wasn't something that was necessary (removing the muffler) but I spent money on it (especially since my funds are low). The sound is ok; it's not too in your face but if I ever decide to hook the sounds up in this car, I'm gonna have to reinstall the muffler. I'd rather have music than a loud exhaust.

 

^^For some, including me, the sound got louder after a month for some reason.

 

Honestly I dont know the OP had videos i asked him what he had and I liked how it sounded so i was like hmmm maybe i should do that. I want my car to sound like a G35 but now im kind of thinking maybe i should get Ws2 mufflers

 

yea its looking like my next step is getting better mufflers... b/c those deletes just arent satisfying

im gonna wait a couple weeks.. but i still dont see how it gets louder over time...

 

sorry for the mutliple post... stupid edit dissapears after 1 minute..

here's my exhaust note video... and the camera has good sound quality.. so this IS what it sounds like... all that sound is coming from the front =/

Yea it dont really sound any different its not loud at all your right

 

is there a reason that some people could be getting much different results?

i cant think of any variables that would change in replacing 2 foot of straight pipe

 

^^^I think the difference could be condition of stock mufflers, type s vs tlp engines, things like that i suppose

 

...dude my car is a TL-P and it sounds deeper than that...im surprised that it doesnt sound any different....

 

i know... ive seached tons of videos... it sounds like im missing something..

and the car is in very well kept condition...

oh well... ill replace the back mufflers in time i suppose... for now ill deal

 

My tl-p sounded different. While this mod wont make a huge change in over all sound loudness it changes the pitch.

 

most recently watched Phee's video of the muffler delete on his 99 and its noticeably different....

^ yea i saw that video yesterday. I know the guy at the muffler shop im going to have him take it off and see if i like it, if it dont sound right i will have him put the stock back on

 

Make sure you don't have any leaks but in that case your exhaust would probably sound louder. All a muffler is is just something that does destructive interference so that sound waves cancel out. If you're not getting sound something else may going on that is unknowingly doing the interference. Is the pipe diameter the same as the pipe on the car?

 

I was under the impression you didn't get any bass but I just listened to yours; mine doesn't sound much different. To me the sound is very noticeable compared to the sound made with the mid-muffler installed. You must be going for something more.

 

i had an earlier video of stock.. i'll have to post it up.. but if you didnt know any better.. you'd think its the same video aside from the camera position...

even the guy who did the work laughed after backing it off the rack... he said sorry it did nothing

its fine... it will make a big difference when i get around to changing the rear mufflers...

 

best way of going is...... DELETED MID MUFFLER DELETED THE STOCK RES. AND PUT A DYNOMAX

 

The sound is annoying to me now. I hate hearing every minute change in engine RPM. I really don't even know why I got it done...I've always wanted a quiet exhaust!

 

just be lucky you can hear anything.

the only change i got in my car is a small hum on ignition only when its cold... after the car is started. the sound never comes back.

oh and i got some pretty silver piping under the car.

im just goin with a custom cat back.

 

you'll only hear the exhaust between 1k-2.5k, after that the engine over powers it, so that vid by Rockstar where you just rev it really isnt where your going to hear the difference

 

 

Yup, except that's where my tach usually falls in, and maybe the fact that it's city-driving is what is "destroying" it for me; the constant acceleration & deceleration vs. the highway-induced monotone.

 

my video is only rev's up to 3 and 3.5

i'd post a video of me starting from zero and slowly accelerating, but you wont hear anything..

the video i posted is just a few taps on the gas from a low idle... even if the range of sound is that small.. you would notice some bass.. i have none.


i guess some people hear things others dont..
or maybe if you want to hear it you will. i guess i was just expecting a difference seeing how they are both there to quiet the exhaust.

 

mine sounds like shit now. but thats because my mufflers are done. so if you did the mod and you dont have any sound different. chances are your mufflers are on their way out and you will get rasp very soon.

ONLY REMOVE THE MID MUFFLER. DO NOT REMOVE THE APPLE JUICE CAN

 

so when mufflers go bad they get quieter?

shouldnt it be the opposite?

 

i removed both and it works

 

i thought most people remove the apple juice can, then if they want it louder they remove the bigger one? why are you saying not to remove the apple juice looking one..

i have comptech axlebacks.. i'm sort of satisfied, but not quite yet. i want more of a throaty sound.. i was thinking of doing 2.5" piping from the cat back and removing the apple juice resonator and leaving the big one in.. what do you think? i don't want to remove both because of fear of having rasp. or should i remove the large one and keep the apple juice on in?

 

by now ive realized that its different for everyone, your just going to have to play around with it till you like it

 

i see..in your opinion what would you say to remove first, the small apple juice one or the large one with 2.5" piping all the way back

 

i'd like to add i wouldn't want it to get crazy annoying loud inside the car either like kris was mentioning.. so i don't know.. all i know is i want my exhaust to sound more throaty without having unbearable drone in the car

all i have right now is comptech axlebacks and a aem intake, i plan on doing headers in the summer

 

i have tsudo axle back with both the mid muffler and resonator removed but i thru a thrust glasspack muffler in place of it. it sounds great... really deep bass toned but alot of drone

 

you got that sound clip yet?

 

you'll get a different opinion from everyone, i say take both off cuz one isnt enough, other ppl will say different

just take em off one at a time and see how you like it

 

no, me and rajca are gunna take one when he takes his videos of him launchin spray vs n/a, then eventually boost the weather here is -17 before windchill right now so were gunna wait til it warms up a lil to do it lol. im going to be honest tho i dont think a sound clip is gunna do the justice, i bet the sound clip is gunna sound totally different than from in person but all in all i love it
