ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 If you are only running resonators of course its going to be loud as f**k. My advice to you would be to get one of the resonators cut out and replace it with a muffler. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GH05T 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 ahhh i see... Thanks mate so basically i have two factory resonators running under the car - i replaced one of the old ones to a newer - bigger resonator just last week... i have yet to replace the other one... so you saying i should replace the other factory resonator with a muffler pipe??? is it just a normal pipe? i can get that done from Midas ai???

hotwire 352 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 As said already - with two straight through resonators it will be noisy, you need a muffler at the rear. You can put on a free flowing type where you will still get noise but subtle & not over the top Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 So you have two resonators + the exhaust now? Is this one of those exhausts from TradeMe? Would the exhaust not be a muffler too? If it's still too loud for you I say remove it - especially if it's causing droning at low RPMs, that is really annoying. Just my 2 cents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Midas will be able to offer you some advise.They can source replacement "Std" exhausts so can compare what you have got to a std one....I suggest you need a complete rear muffler,or a slightly smaller one if you want a bit of "tone" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
