I have zero rasp... Just loudness... & as opposed to the big piping do you think Ivoire be loosing power I can't really tell if I lost or gained power? its quiet at WOT though... If you don't think there will be any kind of power gain by replacing piping after y then I'll leave it I can deal with it now that I added that piece just want full potential for power?...

you dont have rasp coz the full piping is acting as a resonator j/k

you should have gone with a 3" piping with a 2.5" split....or a 2.5" piping with a 2.25" split (which is OEM SPECS)....

if you want power, go back there, get a 3" piping with a 18" or a 24" magnaflow resonator (you like it quieter so get a 24" resonator) with a 2.5" splits and get 2 dynomax mufflers 2.5" in and call it a day....you will gain power, it will sound nice, and wont drone....

Go to summit racing and keep adding filters to your requirement (inlet size and inlet # and outlet size and outlet #)....this will bring you down to this

http://www.summitracing.com/search/d...er-in/2-250-in

check what size you can fit under the car and buy it

dynomax mufflers in my experience clears rasp better than magnaflow....but they do tend to drone a little bit
vibrant resonators cleans the sound up and reduces drone....

yep! the 18" will not create any rasp, i love the sound, it great. I can notice the sound when step on the pedal; but, sometime I wish it is a tiny bit louder. I think I will go with stage 3 after about 500 miles with the Mag. If anyone interested in buy it, let me know, cheap price for sure. Cause I want to get that money to buy the Dynomax.

Exclamation 08 TLS damaged piping (tighten fuel cap too!!!)

I damaged the stock J-pipe on a manhole cover, which led to a nasty hollow exhaust sound (like air getting in somewhere) and had to have it replaced. Occasionally, the heads up display lets me know that i need to "Tighten fuel cap". The impact also led to my oil pan needing a replacement too.

To no avail, those quick fixes didn't solve the exhaust noise problem. After taking it to a muffler shop, they let me know that i need to replace my Cat Converter because its now clogged.

I am wondering if it makes more sense to just remove the 2nd Cat altogether and just put pipe between the block and flex pipe. If i delete that 2nd Cat, is it absolutely necessary to delete the 1st Cat as well?

Not really going for a loud or ratchy Roar, just anything to get away from this hissing sputter. a nice hum or purr would be nice.

PLEASE HELP!

Tommy, if you plan on going with you plan:


"I am wondering if it makes more sense to just remove the 2nd Cat altogether and just put pipe between the block and flex pipe. If I delete that 2nd Cat, is it absolutely necessary to delete the 1st Cat as well?"


I would suggest in PCDs.

just remember you have the PCD's and hence loud and a little rasp is something you will have to live with but even though, it should sound good.....
I couldn't agree more!
