since it seems like your posts are about making your exhaust sound better Ill post what I have as an exhaust setup.
It sounds great, no bees in a can sound.

header of your choice-->catalytic convertor-->18" stainless resonator--> bosal catback exhaust.
It sounds great.

and IMO doing the y into 2 resonators is essentially the same as having 1 resonator twice as long.

Id suggest a single 24" resonator and whatever else you want muffler wise..but loop mufflers/typical import mufflers will sound crappy as they are typically designed to give that import exhaust sound. Which is typically annoying/crappy sounding.

Now with that said there isn't much you can do to a 4cyl motor that will make it sound like a mean v8 sound. but the bosal/resonator combo sounds about as close as you can get.

Id suggest flowmasters/magnaflow mufflers but stay away from apex/other import type brands.

so IMO no need for the y pipe if you put an 18" or 24" single resonator in.

I think mines one of those crappy eBay headers (previous owner took frugal to a new level). I have a Magnaflow universal (720 cfm i think) for my NEW muffler. I had to toss a fart can that was on there (and there was much rejoicing). Once i get the exhaust leak fixed and cat put back in then the resonator is next. below is the current *cough* setup *cough* until i get some positive cash flow.

This is what I got

Just take it to the muffler shop and have them cut and weld it in.
Looks great with the bosal setup

awesome. check that 15037 also. I'm getting qoutes of 86 minimum.

You may have an exhaust leak. if you have a garage or can get the car at least 3 feet off the ground, take a handfull of ashes, flour, or something thats extremely easy to blow away. make sure there is no wind blowing and run your hand ALONG the path of the exhaust pipe WITHOUT touching it. I'm not telling you to burn your hand. that may help you detect it. it's just that most exhaust leaks happen at the flanges or where someone did some welding.

if you look at my first pic of my exhaust, you can see the rusted part and then a small black streak. that is where my exhaust leak is. i could actually feel the air when i put my hand near it. Just be careful.

ur cousin could be right about the resonance point aka point of natural frequency. also, as shiano found out...he had a riced muffler...lol not his fault though...he bought it like that.



lmao..buying riced cars...what a trip

the sound those rice tips make do not compare to the window shattering rasp of a straight pipe, i've been surrounded by 3-4 reving ricesters and my exhaust is the only one you hear.
