Should the resonator or muffler or both b removed to get rid of being so quiet

tuned08ss

Im guessing you have a lsj. Just do a muffler delete for sound.

I have a full 3 inch exhaust with a catless dp and magnaflow catback and its loud as hell. Almost too loud. I still have the resonator btw

As of now I have a catless DP with muffler delete and I think it's decently loud.

Imho i would not do a muffler delete. At that point u just get a raspy exhaust. Get a magnaflow, or borla or loudmouth. It will be quiet at idle and loud at WOT. But it will be a clean loud not a raspy one

Corsa or GMPP for an LSJ. Don't go cutting off your resonator or muffler unless you want raspy city.

I didn't know OP had an LSJ. Exhaust sounds completely different between LSJ and LNF.

I'm not wanting it to sound like a "ricer" but as close as possible to a V8. So should i just do a muffler, resonator, or both resonator and muffler delete?

robob159

im just looking for a temperary change so that wen i get a good paying job i can take it in to get a fully custom exhaust system made for it any tips at all?

I'm on the mobile version on my Galaxy Note 3 so I can't see if you have an LSJ or LNF.

Leave it alone until you can afford a quality exhaust.

The LSJ will sound like butt with the resonator and or muffler removed.

sorry to say but it will never sound like a v8 because its not a v8 we have a 4 cylinder so its going to sound like a 4 cylinder

If u want it to sound like a v8 then sell it and buy a v8. No exhaust can imitate 4 extra cylinders. If u want it to sound like a clean sporty exhuast with some nice popping, then u need to wait and get a header to a 3 inch downpipe and the catback of your choice. Personally i like my magnaflow.

robob159

Is it better to stick with same brand for entire exhaust system and wats the difference between the down pipe and header cuz everything i seem to find states the downpipe and header r the same thing unless wat im seeing is wrong or im interpreting it wrong

robob159

Ik it wont sound like a V8 but i do want it to have the same characteristics wats the best way to make it act like it

Do a v8 swap... It's been done before

robob159

No i got it for the fuel economy but the performance mods r a bonus

Moved to correct section.

The header is what comes directly off the exhaust ports on your head and the downpipe connects from the header to the resonator or intermediate pipe. You dont need to get the same brand for the whole exhaust. My header and downpipe are zzp and my catback is magnaflow.

robob159

Hows the overall sound of it cuz i look up magnaflow with stock manifold it sounds like **** but hows ur setup sound

I love the sound of mine. Ppl can hear me from a mile away and can tell from the tone that its my car. If u dont have emissions tests where you live i HIGHLY recommend getting a catless downpipe. And keep ur resonator otherwise its gonna sound like ass. The muffler is whats gonna give you the unique tone. Besides magnaflow i like the slp loudmouth, but i wouldnt trade my exhaust for anything. Its mellow when i want it to be and sounds like a monster at wot

Just go on zzperformance.com and look in their exhaust section and u will find the header downpipe combo and they sell magnaflow and obviously their own catback

robob159

do you have a video of the sound? if so u should upload it. and az is an emissions state and they r trying to make the emissions standards as hard as california. would you say to do the header/downpipe combo first or do the catback exhaust first because both cant b done at the same time due to finances
