what are the pros and cons of a straight pipe exhaust? and do i need the resonator?

 

loss in low end torque...its loud...the resonator is a good thing to keep if you dont like raspy bumblebee trapped in a coffee can exhaust....

 

i want the deep tone sound from my exhaust. is a straight pipe gonna do that with the resonator? and is there any performance boost?

 

straight pipe isnt gonna give a deep sound.. its loud and raspy.. deep tone = good sounding muffler with resonators and cat. u will prob notice a loss of low end power like he said if u do the straight pipe unless u are turbo

 

oh ok thanks

 

how many resonators are there in a stock dx?

where is the graph? i stopped trusting butt-dyno's years ago.

 

I ran open header once, it was sooooo loud little kids were running for cover as I was cruising at 2000rpms. That was enough to know I shouldn't floor it so no butt-dynos on my end LOL

Pros - gain peak HP,cheap,if you have a turbo it spools faster.

cons - loud as hell,smelly,gets very irritating,illegal,neighbors slowly start hating you,cops slowly start hating you,everybody starts hating you.

If you want a deep sound you need a long resonator and a chambered muffler,dyno max super turbo with an 18" resonator does the job.
