i need some advice guys, currently im running the full aftermarket I/H/E with 2 resonators and the second cat was replaced by the 2nd resonator. so im deciding to either put stock headers back in or a new more restrictive axleback but i dont know which will help my exhaust be more quieter. quiet as is almost to no noise!

if i change back to stock headers i know ill lose performance but possibly be alot quieter, and if i change the tsudo axleback to a big muffler ill probably lose little performance but possibly quieter with rasp.. this is what im currently assuming. the point is i wanna reach the quietest as possible to stock so what should i do between these 2 decisions?

 

i have dc headers by the way

 

get a greddy SE axle back. it should be quieter than tsudo axle back or change to the different resonator. magnaflow resonator part#12649.

 

TRD axle back may help.
High flow cat?

 

ive heard from a few people that magnaflow resonators burn out a lot and thats why their exhaust systems get louder.

 

then what resonator is good? vibrant resonator?

 

i hear good things about Aero, Hushpower and Vibrant.

 

actually i have no room to add another resonator. i already got 2 lined all the way down right before the bend. i think i saw a clip of dc headers with trd axleback and it was raspy...

 

if you got 2 resonator then that's good enough. greddy se should quiet the noise.

wonder where is this place. good for drift. lol

 

try tanabe exhausts they are quiet...

 

im about to put my stock headers back in. should be just as effective as the axleback right??

 

if you put the stock header back in. the noise will be alot quieter than you change the axleback. yet you will lose about half performance of the set up right now

 

its good to have some "backpressure" right? i live in the city so mid-range power is what i need and the top-end dc 4-1 headers is pretty much useless, correct me if im wrong. my spipe,midpipe with 2 resonators, and axleback are aftermarket by the way

by the way im selling my dc headers, its thermo-wrapped and thermo-sprayed!

 

If you're willing to put stock header back on why not just do that and use the stock muffler leaving your 2 resonators in place.

Why did you do the upgrades if you want quiet exhaust in the first place?

 

he can't handle the noise. lol

 

Lol because I decided that I had my 5years of fun and I'm not the only the person whose annoyed with the sound on the passenger side

 

i too am tired/annoyed a bit with my loud ARK N-1 exhaust with no cats and the one resonator it comes with... it doesnt sound raspy AT ALL eventhough i have a 4-1 header but it is pretty loud especially when going up a hill and being in 4-5th gear...ugh its loud... im going to put a cat on the midpipe and call it a day

 

im sure its the header, even with the cat itll be crazy loud
