Need to Quiet Her down!

So i have a beast of an exhaust right now, which sets all the car alarms off in my complex, and has the rice like raspy import sound, when in the lower 2k-4k rpm. I just got the car and the consensus is i need to tone it down, Its a 2.5" cat back with hi flow resonator. Ive been told that the zzp whisper resanator, could help me out, but i am wondering if there is something else that could be better or if that would work fine. As soon as my Fiance' gets back and hears it im sure ill never hear the end of it, so i thought i would try to nip it in the butt early.

If you guys could lend your expertise i would be greatly appreciative .

im trying to figure something out as well. My exhaust it crazy loud and too raspy for me. I think that i am going to find some way to incorperate the whisper into the corsa catback somehow.

it will not help out at all,it will just make it rasp more top end...had the same muffler on my cobalt...i would reccommend the zzp whisper resanator,only reason i didnt buy it was cuz its kinda pricey for a resanator

You should do that if you want to make it 10 times more raspy

Suscribed for video's, I love my full vibrant exhaust.. it's just WAY to loud. I don't care about loud, but I do care about spending 90 bucks an exhaust ticket.

Try a Dynomax super turbo. A few of us local guys are running it. A little louder than stock. Cheap muffler too.

I could care less about the $100 fine, the rediculous part was the amount of time to put on all my stock parts, and go back and forth from the place that had to sign off that my car was legal. Biggest pain, i dont want to do that again!

haha my friends 1986 toyota pickup! Other then that i had a acura rsx-s come up next to me on the freeway trying to check out my badges, to see if he had a chance, i just downshifted and lost his ass in the traffic lol. I just ordered meth, the wideband is coming in, and the whisper resonator. once i get that all installed im heading down to grab a tune. then i may lay into some imports soon.

Put enough mufflers on it, and the rasp goes away! At least if you want to run catless. Mine was catless, and it took putting 3 mufflers on mine to get the sound that I wanted!
