Does the stock tC have a resonator? if you get it straight piped, how does it sound? ricey? deep? raspy?

haha...

thank you

 

yep the tC midpipe has a cat and a resonator. taking it out makes your exhaust louder.

 

and sound like crap.

 

if you have the stock muffler it'll be louder but not bad. if you have an axleback and header on it you're heading towards rasp city

 

yea ill have all exhaust components stock... will it just be louder? or sound like ____

 

No power gain, and probably sound like poop.

 

my friend says it gives you the g35 growl

This might help? I found it right now.

 

Is it possible that the car will run like sh*t if you remove the cat? My car is straight pipe right now and has two resonators. After about a week or two of it being this way it boggs down under hard acceleration from time to time. I dont really know what it is but maybe its cause theres not enough back pressure???

 

thanks alot ryphlex you confirmed it will probably sound like ____, haha

and xd40tc, how is your o2 sensor doing? any cel?

 

i have a simple solution to the resonator delete i tested it on my old accord and it worked but holy shiznit it was loud, i feel the louder and more annoying the better cause lets face the facts loud ___ 4 bangers are hilarious, and it was a honda... anyways i had a 2.5 stainless catback system, i cut the pipe at both ends of the resonator and slid a piece of stock 2.25 exhaust pipe in there and welded it at both ends. then stainless welded the midpipe back together. my setup on that car was ebay header, punched out cat, my homade resanator soulution and i also did that to the fart can...needless to say i have only ever heard one car louder than that and it was a mustang running open headers.

 

I don't know if you realized, but this thread is from 2006....Thats 5 years ago. Thanks for bumping.....

 

Wait-you tested how a tC would sound by testIng on an Accord?

 

Either way, that accord was loud because he gutted the muffler and cat's, not because he took the res out. Obviously taking the res out will make a difference, but nothing like a "mustang with open headers." Fail

 

During my exhaust change up I replaced everything.... one high flow cat and one 18" resinator then split into dual mufflers and it didn't get raspy just loud..

I don't know what my peak db is from the exhaust but I try to keep it quiet, in town at least. But if you keep your stock header and modify from there you might not have as much of a noise/rasp issue. Then again that kind of sound will also be altered by your muffler, stock or aftermarket.

 

ooo im sorry for giving the "ricers" an idea i guess thats not what this site is for. im gonna rice my car out to the extreme just so all you people who think scions are the end all be all of motorsports and customizing can look at it and just hang your head. so what if i bumped a 5 year thread i was researching it yesterday and this is all i found, i guess i should have made a new thread with the same title.

 

the tc doesnt sound too horrible without the resonator i've driven around with just my ptuning exhaust on after taking off my turbo kit.

 

Say what?

 

i dont understand what you dont get. did u forget how to read? i thought you had to be at least semi educated to be in the chair force but i guess not, just fat and lazy. just keep holding that chair down behind that computer bro ill do all the work overseas as im doing now. and whenever you do an actual deployment aka 12 months then we can talk until then keep your smart ___ remarks away from my posts i dont care what u think...im only here for tips and advice on diy.

 

okay gents take it to PM's this isnt a place for an argument it's supposed to be about dicussing cars.
