remove resonator, keep stock muffler - loud? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Rebound91 · 01-03-2009, 02:40 PM

My mother has a 1996 Camry with a 5SFE. Her exhaust broke off at the rear of the resonator. Naturally, it had to happen right after Christmas when money is tight. The rest of the pipes look good. If I just put a pipe in place of the resonator, leaving the stock muffler in place, will it be a lot louder? There aren't any resonators on my 3SFE and you can barely hear my car!

Thanks in advance.

it will be somewhat louder, but since its still the stock muffler it shouldnt be too bad ... the exhaust note will change a bit as well

Thanks for the insight. That 2.25" cat back sounds real good! My mom's car will be patched up by the weekend.

Bdub215: you really think i was serious with that question? (the one in your sig)

Bdub215 · 01-08-2009, 03:08 PM

no but i still found it quite funny. if you want me to take it out of my sig i'll do it.

nah keep it

i'm well known here so it's ok

removing the resonator won't be bad try it out and go from there

Exhaust is holding up nice with just a pipe in place. I don't drive her car that often, but honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between now and before it broke. Thanks guys.
