OK...I'm starting a better V6 exhaust examples thread!!

[metthem]

You can add this to the list, I know it is a rasp monster, but that is about to change. 2011 V6 Doug Thorley Shorties and Flowmaster AMT axle back, CAI intake. In cabin with window down. I will get an outside video later today


Here is outside the car, I don't think the phone picked up on the rasp as well as it did on the inside, but you can definately hear it in a few spots, it is much worse in person.

Added to first post today:

A nice comparison of what the Magnaflow resonated X (part no. 11386) does for a nearly straight pipe setup with long tube headers.

-BBK long tubes / Magnaflow resonated X / stock resonators in place / no mufflers


-BBK long tubes / stock H pipe / stock resonators in place / no mufflers

There was another member here that posted a video of a setup just like yours that showed the raspy noise very well with his flowmaster setup. Its always pretty bad right in the 2,500 to 3,500 range it seems.

He added the resonated X and cured the rasp and seemed to be pretty happy with it.(Dang I wish I had posted it to the sticky!)

I'd say it should work just the same for you. That said (as I always say) it may tame your growl a bit along with it.

Im gonna add the HFC's and see how it does, and if necessary the Magnaflow X will be added after that; I gotta get the sound right, then the cutouts

[KMPrenger]

Metthem....Gotcha!

Yeah those HFCs may just cure the sound...who knows. I'd drive it at least a week or two to give it more time to season and then if you still think the rasp just sucks...go magnaflow X

I noticed in your sig, it says you have switchblade silver interior. Switchblade is the Corvette color name that has the same paint code as our Silver Ice Metallic. Im just sayin.

I'm sure you are correct...but so is my sig

I have the optional GM (not from the factory) lighter than stock 2SS/2LT trim. The color is switchblade silver, whereas the stock is a tad darker. I switched out my stock cloth interior trim for it sometime earlier last year or maybe earlier than that...I don't know lol.

Anyways..check it out sometime...Switchblade is the color name advertised for the panels...but I'm fine with calling it Silver Ice as well.

I like the vid, but I think what I have on the original post works well enough as an example.

Hey KMPrenger, have you thought of adding a section with the sound clips to certain intakes? I think it would help if someone decides to buy an intake based on sound. Just a thought

I've heard it mentioned before, but I have no intentions of compiling a thread like this. I only recall seeing a few exhaust videos showing off the sound on a stock car with an intake.

I'd think Rotofab/CAI/BBK should all sound mostly the same. I would think AirRaid would be close to those too, but I think it is also a bit more restricted than they are.

Injen might be slightly different.

Also, my Vararam definitely changed the exhaust note from when I had the AirRaid....for the better.

Love the sound. Any issues with Drone?
