Another exhaust thread

[Troywakeling]

I just picked up my brothers 98 Gen 3 and it already has dual flowmaster 40s and the 3rd cat delete and dont get me wrong its sounds great especially when you get on it, but im looking for a little more bark on startup. It sounds kinda stockish when you first start it. There is a video on youtube of a black gen 3 and it sounds ungodly when its first started, I think the guys username is genIIIv8sho or something. What do I have to do to make mine sound like that, remove the resonator or will I have to invest in a magnaflow y pipe?

Port the intake, magnaflow Y and magnaflow highflow cats.

 

[SHOMEX]

Just remove the resonator and that should do it and don't ask me how I know.

 

[Troywakeling]

thanks for the replies, ill start with removing the resonator and go from there.

Would it be this one?

If so this is what the video's description says.

"This is a quick clip of my new equal length catless y-pipe running through just a Magnaflow muffler. The flowmaster mufflers in the video are not hooked up as the exhaust is cut just after the factory resonator location. The Magnaflow is slid on the y-pipe for sound test. Both the Magnaflow and the Flowmasters will be used for the final exhaust system."

Heres mine..... hopefully you have a killer sound set up on your p.c. or you wont get the effect and yes i live in canada and it was cold when i did this vid hence the smoke

Just cut the mufflers off, throw some tips on and call it good...trust me...it sounds EVIL!

When he has the camera at the back and starts it FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Resonators coming off tomorrow, Ill try to get a clip of it when its done. It sounds good now and is probly loud enough for 98% of people but not quite loud enough for me but I really dont wanna spend $350 on a magnaflow y pipe.

Thanks dude..:wave:

 

[Troywakeling]

Removing the resonator seemed to get me what I wanted. Ill get a sound clip up later.

 

[Troywakeling]

Dual flowmasters, no resonator and no 3rd cat. Excuse my crappy audio quality on my camera.

[Izzmo]

My sounds veryyyy similar to yours except yours a tad raspier than mine for some reason.

I think alot of that rasp is from my camera

how much did you guys pay for a 3rd cat + resonator removal at a shop?

 

[DaSho97]

Damn sounds beastly, thinking about getting flowmasters soon.

My brother had the 3rd cat removed when it was his so im not sure on that, not very much if I recall. A buddy of mine removed the resonator for $50, granted thats a pro welded job and on the books at work but if we could have done it under the table or been able to find 2.25id pipe it would have been cheaper.

Well.. legally they could not do it, but from $50, they did it under the table for me.

You can gut the 3rd cat for free.
