Hey people, I just got my 2.25" exhaust installed w/ a carsound highflow cat and uh, IT'S WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUD! I have a SR 4-2-1 header and a dual DTM muffler too. My girlfriend let me have her old 2.25" glass pack which is about 2 feet long. I was thinking about using it as a resonator (that's what they are right???) Will this help lower the exhaust noise some?

I've heard some cat-back systems online through wave files and my set-up sounds identicle, however it's just too freakin loud! As a matter of fact, it sounds louder IN the car than OUT!??!
At least i'll get better gas milage 'cause i'm too scared to floor it knowing i'm cop bait now.
*sigh* my life is over guys. frown

 

I would suggest getting a resonator installed, this will make it more quiet, but you will lose some power

 

well then will this glass pack work as a resonator? A chambered resonator is out of the question, but if i loose a few ponies from this glass pack, at least i'll keep my sanity. wink

I guess my question is, can a glass pack be used as a reso.? I was under the impression that resonators ARE glass packs.

 

An alternative is Exhaust inserts.
See web page

You can buy it at summit racing.

Works great... although expensive for what it is.

 

or cut a small hole in yer exhaust, that should help wink

lol good luck man

 

Yes the glass pack should help out a lot.
That was my plan, after i get my header an high flow cat, slapping in the biggest glasspack possible, to kill that nasty sound.
If you put it in, let us know how it turned out!

 

mine is going in next week same setup as u with glasspack

 

Well people, i'll post the results after work today when it gets installed in the morning. I'm sure not having my backseats is making it worse too. I might as well put those back in. tongue.gif

 

I good resonator should not restrict flow in anyway!

 

I had to go and have a 25" glasspack installed on mine... It was WAY too loud after I had the 2nd catalytic converter cut out. It was actualyl louder with the silencer in than without it in.

Spatch!
