Hey, I'm new to Acurazine and this is my first post.
I've always read a lot but I was never registered and this is my first actual post as a member.
For the people who think I haven't read through the old threads, trust me, I have spent countless hours trying to find the answer to this, and to I still haven't so I hope I'll be able to finally get the answer from one of you guys.
I own a Type-S with XLR8 V2 J Pipe and XLR8 Non-Resonated catback exhaust. I am wanting to add Pre Cat deletes.
I love the sound of my XLR8 setup as is now, and I would not want to lose the tone due to the pcds.
I have done my research and found out the resonator I'll be using is the 10436 from Magnaflow.
Now the thing is, I don't want to kill the sound of the XLR8 exhaust when I add the resonator.
My only intention is to kill the rasp from the pcds.
I was wondering if there is someone here with this same exact set up on their TL-S that could help me answer if the 10436 resonator will alter the sound of the XLR8 J Pipe/Catback when adding pcds.
That is my main concern.
I have already contacted XLR8 and RV6 and neither of them knows what the 10436 will do to a XLR8 setup/pcds.
I really think the non res cat back paired with v2 j pipe sounds really good and I've spent 1500 which I wouldn’t wanna waste.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

Cant expect to change exhaust parts without the exhaust note changing.. gotta be realistic... Wanna get rid of rasp just add a big ass resonator n enjoy ur car

 

Its not like its going to be quieter than when you just the jpipe and catback. The pcds are going to make it sound ridiculous and when you add the resonator it will tone down the rasp, not the exhaust. Itll end up being different than what you had originally but you should be ok.

 

The rasp you hear with the PCDs is not the same sound that comes out the tailpipes.
you're hearing the sounds come directly out of the block in front of you.

Everyone tells me my exhaust sounds like shit while they're riding shotgun. But standing outside or following behind me they say it growls perfectly at low rpm, and is aggressive and mean sounding at higher rpm. I never realized this until I went through a tunnel, but yeah it sounds nothing like the cabin noise.
