Those were 2 of my ideas. I've got after market mufflers (dynomax) so we will see how it sounds without them first. I googled for weeks and literally all I can do is test it out! The rev is a joke on v6's lol its not loud at all

Good luck man. Did a lot of testing myself. Resonated xpipe is a must(especially after i got long tube headers). Or youll find yourself kind of embarrassed when you have to gun it and sound like a civic lol(me before xpipe :( lol).

Hope you like the new sound... I'm thinking of adding a Solo resonator to mine.

Fixed your picture too..

Haha thanks, I was on my iPhone, it's a pain to edit stuff. The sound isn't much different honestly, at least I can't tell. I'm almost feeling like it isn't as deep now? I guess that would make sense...I'm just beginning to accept I bought too quiet of mufflers and I need to go a new avenue. I got some videos but there is no open road so I'm going to get one later, i know just the place and i'll post it.

Thanks! I just think I'm never satisfied lol. It probably means I need a v8. I feel like most of the sound comes from the intake, not that exhaust.

Why did this get moved to the v8 section? What if you put bullitts where the resonator was, and straight pipe it from there back?

Yeah mlee, wrong section lol since you moved it, I have a V6.

That was my thinking honestly. I knew I had to delete the resonators first off to find out if the sound changed at all. Adding the reaonated x will make it quieter, that's not what I want. The mufflers are too restrictive I guess so it's no mufflers and a resonated x or no mufflers and glass packs or dynomax bullets.
