New Exhaust!!

tiggerp504 · 05-16-2005, 09:41 PM

got the cat and the resonator taken off. It sounds good on the outside but its annoying on the inside (sounds like a ricer on the inside and a V8 on the outside) what should I do to make the inside sound lower I can still put the resonator back on or the cat but I cant do both any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

the pics are before and after sorry if some came out bad i used my cellphone to take the pics

i would start with the resonator....that should help...if not...you can always add a cat later

tiggerp504 · 05-17-2005, 08:40 AM

thanks im going back today to get that put back on

UNCTYPE-S · 05-17-2005, 09:01 AM

what kind of muffler is it? I havent heard of any exhausts for the v6 se or gt that sound ricey on the inside.

tiggerp504 · 05-17-2005, 06:02 PM

I got the magaflow round exhaust i put it where the cat and the resonator was im going to put the resonator back in prob tomorrow i dont know i want to do it because its starting to grow on me. i love the looks i get when people see me drive by

tiggerp504 · 05-17-2005, 06:03 PM

you can kind of see it on the last pic i posted

boost21 · 05-17-2005, 06:30 PM

get a sound clip , i wanna hear what its like

tiggerp504 · 05-18-2005, 07:13 PM

i put on my resonator on, it stills sounds loud but a little lower i dont have room to put the cat back in i think ill have to try a new muffler if someone tells me how to load sound clips on here ill put it up i just dont know how to do it

boost21 · 05-18-2005, 07:16 PM

how much total was all it

tiggerp504 · 05-18-2005, 07:43 PM

my neighbor opened up a new muffler shop so i only paid 100 we are experimenting to see what sounds good. i think we might take the muffler off and put a camro muffler on it.

UNCTYPE-S · 05-18-2005, 08:06 PM

i dont know where your getting all these goofie mufflers from, but the slp, borla, magnaflow, and flowmaster all dont sound ricey on a 3.4 v6 grand am.

tiggerp504 · 05-19-2005, 02:57 PM

huh can you not read i said it sounds good on the outside but it sounds ricey on the inside maybe i dont want to be like everyone else on here im trying new things to see how they sound so people have an alternative than just the stuff everyone already has
and i do have a magnaflow but it prob something you never heard of because they dont sell it i on pfyc all i was asking for was help not smart as$ remarks

boost21 · 05-19-2005, 03:05 PM

/\ oh god here it starts, what type of tips are those

magyver · 05-19-2005, 04:04 PM

not feelin the tips... nothing on the ga is square... so im confused as to why you chose those?

on a side note, imy 97 3.1 i did 40 series flows w/ no cat or resonator... it was hella loud, sounded like a V8 at idle w/ a cam... but yes, it was pretty loud inside... but i liked it hella mucho!

dont get P'ed when someone flames your exhaust when you say it sounds ricey yourself... yer just not makin any sense... its one thing to test mufflers out when you got FREE means to do so, but if your paying for each install, then you get the CHODE award....

all things aside, look at the bright side, at least you dont got fart cannons on there... so thats a plus in my book...

whos giving smart ass remarks? take this and talk to me in the morning.

tiggerp504 · 05-19-2005, 11:26 PM

Well I’m sorry unctype I took it the wrong way I had a bad day but anyway I guess I shouldn’t have used ricey when I was talking about the sound resonating in my car. I was trying to get people to understand it sounds different in my car than I does outside. When I let my friend drive my car I loved how it sounded but when I drove it sounded totally different then what I heard outside (sorry if I confused anyone) All the stuff I’m getting done I don’t have to pay for. Like I said earlier my neighbor has a new shop and he wants to experiment to see what sounds good so I’m all for it.

tiggerp504 · 05-19-2005, 11:30 PM

oh and the tips were free so i just put them on there until i find something i like

SilverSurferGT · 05-20-2005, 12:08 PM

^^ I see what your saying...

My magnaflow sounds diff on the inside than on the outside

Inside: mellow and bassy n smooth

Outside: throaty with a great snarl when I get on it.

In other words, the tones diff cuz of the resonation. I think my exhaust sounds 10 times better on the inside than out especially when i get on it, but i do like it on the outside

tiggerp504 · 05-20-2005, 08:51 PM

What kind of exhaust setup do you have silversurfergt

SilverSurferGT · 05-21-2005, 09:52 AM

Magnaflow camaro muffler with 3.5 inch stainless dual tips...stock pipes and resonator...I regret not goin full catback but it was all I could afford at the time. I'm thinnkin about savin up this summer tho and gettin some SLP pipes and doin the same thing you did cuz I feel my exhaust is too quiet and I want some more performance out of it
