question about exhaust sound

[Luckynumber5]

just had 2.5' stainless piping from the cat to a new flowmaster and a 3" tip and its reeeeaaly loud inside the car, should i put resonator back on to quiet it a little? i mean its really really loud at low idle

[BLUEMEANIE]

yup. but flowmasters tend to be loud and tinny. I have a set on my Vette that just roar with headers and 3" true dual pipes.

loud vettes RULE, i got a friend with a C5 with straight pipes and four 3 inch tips

[Luckynumber5]

well its lost a bit of low end power too, maybe i should put the resonator back on and switch to a different muffler?

[tater_tot]

mine lost the low end power as well . i had 2.5" put on and the resonator taken. i am thinking that dropping it back down to 2.25 will be a better idea. but as far as ur loudness goes i cant help you there heh i love the noise level of mine.

[Luckynumber5]

yeah it sounds pretty nice outside the car but man its like being inside a subwoofer

ii used 2 inch piping after the split i made for the dauls and i used two cherry bomb 2 mufflers it sound low and deep and no farts and i took out my resonator i'm not sure what size tips i'll go with though i know for sure that 3in is way too big i think 2 to 2.5 is decent

[BLUEMEANIE]

2.5" for a V6 and 2.25" for an i4.

I know I will never get another cheap ass muffler again. On my old i4 I had 2.25 and a cheap ass stainless muffler. It sounded horrible after 2500 rpms. It farted and sounded like a bunch of marbles in my muffler. I had no resonator. I lost a lot of backpressure. Low torque.
