Hey,
Before today my exhaust consisted of;
stock exhaust manifold into cat, stock piping into huge resonator back into stock piping to near the rear tyres. then in went 2" piping into 2 rear hotdog resonators with the twin dump tips either side.
it sounded allright but wasnt very loud. so the next step was to remove the middle resonator. this came off and its around 1m long and the inside pipe diameter is about 1" if your lucky! talk about restriction!!!
anyway now it goes off the cat, 2" straight through piping all the way to the rear with the 2 rear hotdogs.
AND...
it sounds like crap! so loud and not a good sound, and it shakes the car and has weird vibrations!!!
the guy at the shop told me that it would prob be too loud but might aswell try rather than spend money on another middle resonator to find out that was too quiet!!!
so yeah... they question is will another hotdog style middle resonator quiet it down and give it a nice note?
its booked in again for this arvo to fix it, and thats what he reccomended!
cheers
