Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Performance Exhaust

I just installed a Ractive muffler the other day and removed my resonator and the car,to me,almost sounds like a Volkswagen with a performance exhaust. It's very deep,and around 3k rpm hits a nice sweet spot in the sound. Definetly not the sound I was expecting. I was almost thinking it would sound like a Honda or something,a little more high pitched,but this is pretty deep. However,the sound of my old Duratec with an intake and SVT exhaust with a res but no mufflers was the schitt!

I don't find any bad rasping or anything without the resonator,but I find the car to be extremely quiet in 4th or 5th gear while crusing around town at the speedlimit 40-60kmh. Just doesn't have the rumble the Duratec did.

Overall I like the sound though.
