That's what I thought all along but you guys are more experienced than me when it comes to mods.
So I should get the resonated xpipe then? I don't want to sound like an import.

Yeah it will be deep sounding. . You already have a nice exhaust. . Some pull the fuse for the flap so it's open all the time. You can Google a video of it .. the MagnaFlow x pipe will help and it will still sound good .. the thing with the v6 is it will always have a hint of import sound no matter.. but it's a sound all its own.

Cool, thanks bud.
I was looking at the magnaflow xpipe but it's 2.5 inlet/outlet. Someone here said my pipes are 2.25.

You are 2.5 from the down tubes to your resonator then 2.25 out, but it won't be a problem and will work just fine

Perfectly shown sanjay. Is that your system?

[shags]

Lol.. Mines totally different I'll see if.i have a pic of it

[shags]

before the muffler install
Just 2 small bullet style

[shags]

Nope.. Mines an auto as well

[shags]

Lol no kidding. . I wonder if manufacture date makes a difference. . Or they just effed up and put the wrong exhaust on mine I've seen a few with the big ass thing

[shags]

So you have the same resonators as mine .. I wonder they look like... I listened to your video yesterday like 20 times.. that's definitely the way I'm going as soon as the xpipe gets delivered next week. . I'll just.give those super 10's away lol .. I'd put them on my suburban but I have 40's on there now that would be way too loud with long tubes

[shags]

Yeah there is a shop here in AZ that sales a power chamber it's called and they sound pretty good from what I've heard on v8 cars . It's a cross between a resonator and a glass pack pretty much but they're small like the factory resonators, I've also thought about latley after adding the x pipe and running 2.5 all the way out and removing the factory resonators. . How do you think that would be ?have you heard one yet ?

You'll want it to look like this in the end. Don't pay attention to the muffler delete, just the middle of the exhaust.

Thank you so much. This is the most detailed pic I've ever seen on what to do with my exhaust. Thank you again. 👍🏻

Mine didn't have all that shielding. There was the H pipe under the cross brace, then two resonators one on each side, halfway to the mufflers.

Those aren't resonators . They are the Catalytic converters . The Rectangle is the Resonators .
