Preciate it man. Glad I could make it easier!

Looked like the dude in blue for a sec lol

Headers, High Flow Cats, Z1 Resonated Y-pipe and OEM mid pipe and muffler. Retain the real VQ sound the engineers created, but deeper and amazing under WOT. Anything else doesn't sound like a VQ anymore. No drone, no buzzing, no trumpet, and not obnoxiously loud around town at low RPMs.

I've messed around with engineering my own exhaust as well. Final version: Mild steel dual exhaust with H crossover, stock cats (CA!) 2 louvered resonators (super cheap) to lower pitch, and 2 vibrant ultra quiet mufflers. Sounds like a v8. Pulled up on a corvette, couldn't tell our exhaust notes apart. Easy, inexpensive. No trumpet, no drone.

Same, a lot of people think it’s quiet but it’s good volume for me and no rasp. Had mine on for like 8 years at this point as a DD

Best setup ive ran is my current one. Stock headers, z1 non resonated TP, 3" y pipe, and AP muffler. The agency power muffler kills a lot of the rasp. There's still some on the higher end but not terrible. Resonated y pipe would probably take care of that but i like a little rasp.

Stock y pipe is a pretty small diameter though as compared to aftermarket ones so flow is not near as good

@victorraymond5211

Ай бұрын

I know, but i found that larger diameter piping increases more rasp. Also, if there is anything more than 2.5 inches of diameter piping, you will lose power and torque. The original diameter piping is perfectly fine as long as you're getting rid of the stock cats.

Well, adding resonators is going to make it quieter I would say resonated test pipes is always the way to go because you can make money by selling the cats and with the money you make then add the resonators on top of the resonated test pipes

I will say it is a pretty annoying process cutting open the resonator because there’s fiberglass in the sounding and that shit gets everywhere. and I will also say there is a little bit of trial and error in this so what I did was buy exhaust clamps so that I could remove and put back the resonators and tips every time I changed it to hear the sound then eventually got them welded in once I liked the sound
