Removing the Resonator for a louder sound?

by **guest** » Mon Sep 22, 2003 1:05 pm

Today at menieke i got my exhaust tinkered with , while there i asked the guy what i could do to get a louder sound, he said for about 80 dollars hed tkae the resonator out which would make the exhaust louder. He also said i might hear popping when i let off the acceelorator... i have no plans to do this mod but how would it work out, any one had it done ?
suggestions?

back in the days when i had a TRD muffler i had pipping which had no resonator. made the car a tad more "throaty."

im satisfied with my solara now, but they said the resonator acts as a second muffler, therefore removing it would baffle the sound less, im not attempting it b/c it sounds rather cheap, just wanted you all to share some solara wisdom with me -josh

so trdmole, haha whatever i should call you, would you recomend removing it, i would do it for 80 dollars, i now have apexi ws. Did the car make a ricey noise or did it just amplify the apexi noise?

dont bother tinkering with a catback system. and it shold be way cheapr than $80

80 is alil too high i think 25 would be more resonable look around at other shops that are privatly owned not like a major company

Im glad this post came up.....I'm on the verge on having my resonator removed and have the piping increased to size 2.5"...Im shopping for prices tommorow after class. How much should this run?
Im hoping to have it a little louder at lower rpm's

like i said in the other post, depending on what exhaust set up you have... it will depend on how much a job can be.

I had it done, it does pop and its really really not much louder atall, just at idle. I had my friend put it back on since the original cuts were clean. Don't waste the time or money.

80 bucks is a lot the shop where i used to get my old exhaust done at only charges like 25-30 bucks to take stuff off. and yea no resonator will make it louder, but popping? i dont' think so........

It doesnt get much louder... and it makes a sound that leaves you to ask: what did my car just spit out the back? Only everyonce in a while does it make this sound and it when you let off the gas and it drifts down to the 1500rpm range.

i've had this done for a few months now.. and honestly, with my exhaust (trd muffler...) my exhaust is louder through a higher rpm.. and it didnt seem to make it pop anymore.. it just made the popping a lil louder.. but ppl tell me that its a clean sound and it sounds like a really mean sleeper... but at the same time i had advanced my timing.. now i dunno if the exhaust beaign a lil louder and the popping being more pronounced had anything due to that or not.. but i have experienced both... my mechanic did it for free

when i had my res. removed, my exhaust fumes smelled real bad while i warmed my car in the garage, it was terrible.. so i took it back and had a buddy put it back on.. There wasn much of a sound increase and it smelled real bad........

anybody have the same thing?
