Title: More exhaust ideas
Post by: FO SHO on December 26, 2013, 06:11:15 PM
As of now i have a 10' SHO non PP with an Unleashed tune and Meth 70/30 mix. Im tired of hearing the engine whine and not the turbos or exhaust. lol I want it to be light, sound throaty, and low cost. My idea was to delete the 3rd cat and resonator with a magnaflow dual in and dual out x-muffler and 2.5" all the way out with 4.5 - 5" tips. Would that be too ricey considering the muffler is still has packing and has a built in perforated x-pipe built in? I know an H pipe can add a nice growl at low speeds but is it worth it considering the x-pipe is in the muffler? Conclusion in my eyes is an H-pipe then a muffler (dual in and dual out x-pipe) and straight out from there. Sound good? Ive been kicking this around forever. I refuse to pay 1k dollars for minimal gains and all i really want from the exhaust is a great sound. BTW. I thought the dynomax mufflers sounded a little raspy at idle; like there isn't enough exhaust pressure to obtain the right frequency note. Thanks guys/ gals

The cherrybomb glass packs do sound pretty good on another guys taurus. Wasn't sure if it was a SHO or not. Definitely cheaper and supposedly cuts down the high frequency sounds also.

I had thought about just pulling the third cat and resonator.  Leaving the rest of the exhaust stock.  Somebody here did it.  Can't think of who right now.  I think they were happy with the results and it was very low cost.

I saw that also. I just never got to hear it. I don't make a lot of money to swap out parts like crazy =). One and done is my motto. Thats why i have one daughter. lmao

That doesn't sound bad.  A little loud for my taste but I have very sensitive ears.

I have glasspacks and open exhaust after that all the way to the  back.  I did an x pipe then glasspacks right where the 3rd cat used to be

I had the DynoMax  with stock 2.25" and then up Grade to LMS D-pipe, Magflow x-pipe, and 2.5" cat back to my DynoMaxs. DynoMax come with 2.5" tube with step downs to 2.25" at there end to fit our stock 2.25" pipes. A local shop install the hold exhaust(+$60 X-pipe from AutoAnything, replacing 3rd cat and welding the Dyno Maxs) for $500.

And I can still reinstall the stock muffler and go back to stock sound for road trips with the wife! lol

STOCK with DynoMaxs only.

I really want to hear what Spintech can do for these cars.

I wonder how those glasspacks would sound with otherwise stock exhaust just removing the stock mufflers and adding the glasspacks. I think that car sounded good above just too loud. Curious as to how it sounds while driving.

What or Who is a Spintech?

Here is inside stock exhaust with DynoMaxs ONLY. The sound did come out like I wanted it to, you can hear the car but not me.

Venturi-flow muffler, a little like a Dyson vacuum for an exhaust.

Lots of youtube clips, just look around if interested.  I was thinking they might be good for a V6.

Sounds real good. The only issue I'm having listening to the sound clips is the hissing/ raspyness of the exhaust. It might be because of the angle the cameras are at. It sounds really awesome though. My buddy qouted me 455 for 3rd cat delete with H-pipe, 2 glasspacks right after the H and 2.5" straight out the rear.

You'll never know if it's right for you unless you try it. $455 sounds like a good deal, I've got $1600. into mine and the downpipes aren't built yet(parts are collected tho)  It's not raspy but the low RPM drone is annoying me and keeping me one gear higher than usual to avoid it :-

I think that the d-pipes, x-pipe, and 2.5"cat-back make the DynoMax a little louder and more drone than the stock with the DynoMax. But the stock muffler at the end of the MODed (d-pipes, x-pipe, and 2.5"cat-back) sys has no drone and is as quit as stock.

That is what I plan on doing, using an x-pipe to delete the third cat and resonator. After looking at all the aftermarket exhaust systems and the stock exhaust I've come to realize that if there is any bottleneck it is in that region. Also due to the fact that I have the MKS I'm not really looking for a loud exhaust, wouldn't suit the car, and that x-pipe delete should help make the car a bit more audible and help the turbos breath a little bit more.

Cool Spartn27!  Let us know how it goes and what you use.  I still might want to do mine sometime.

I Think s4 sound very mean but I think it too loud for every driving for me. I'm a old guy and driving a loud HOT-ROD every day get old. In my 20's I had a 1972 Challenger with header glass pack mufflers love it every day until I got married and kids. Then it got a little loud for every day driving.
