Default How loud whould it be if I took off stock: cat and resonator??

Well I got my muffler all welded up and tip and all that. I want it way louder. Now it has a really deep throaty note as expected but not loud enough.

So will it really be a lot louder if I take off my resonator?? Does that 12" pipe make a big difference.

Should I gut my cat?? I heard it will make you exhaust note high pitched and you loose the throaty sound ??? I want low.

If i DID TAKE OFF THE CAT would it be really much louder.

Finally if I took off both the cat and resonator will it be really loud.???

BTW I'm using a dynomax Turbo muffler universal.

I had my resonator taken off, but not my cat. It makes a notable difference, but I have no idea how it would sound if it didn't have the cat.

I am young too, but to each his own. I prefer the quiet sleeper, although i do have exhaust on my civic so, it is pretty loud.

You're stupid, Riceboy, do you not realize that a really loud car which is slow as crap is embarrassing to drive. I can just imagine the Camry wagons passing quietly right now.

um you should wait a while until you do something like that. your new mufler will take a little while for the fiberglass to break down so youll really know what kind of sound youll have.
my tananbe took like a full month until it reached its real volume when i first put it on there i was like wow its serieously quieter than stock.

derek

I had the EXACT same muffler as you with a straight pipe (no resonator or CAT). It wasn't that loud unless you punched it. The reason why it is not going to be really loud is because that muffler is chambered, not straight through.
