I have a question for you guys, What would a I-4 sound like with no resonater and mufflers? I am contemplating that or a full exhaust...

STeve

Do a high flow resonator and no mufflers.

Oooops... i meant an SVT exhaust

What would an SVT exhaust sound like without the resonater but with the mufflers.

First: Scrapped everything from rez back and upped pipe to 2�¼. Then y"d off at next to last bend and on back to 2 nice chrome angle cut with rolled edges tips. looks great but too loud.

Second: replaced rez with glasspack. Better but still to loud for me.

Third: Added mini GP's just before the tips. Now we're getting somewhere, it's much more better although I'm thinking about replacing the mid GP with a Cherry Bomb twin tube GP. They say it gives you the performance of a GP but the quite of a turbo muffler

$'s: Don't ask!

Yeh i have a ? about cutting out the resinator. Do i need 2.25 ID or OD pipe and how long should i get it. Another ?, weld it or clamp it. I work for AutoZone, so parts are CHEAP for me. Thanx

Engine/Tranny: Zetec MTX
Detailed list of your exhaust mod:Mystery mod, SVT exhaust, with aftermarket resonator (cant remember brand) with polished Magnaflows (were on the exhaust when I bought it) running into ~3.5" tips.
Cost/Installation Charge: <$150
Opinion: Quiet at idle. The vibrations from the (4) poly motors mounts make more noise then the exhaust puts off. Interior drone is there, especially at 3500 RPMs and when shifting. Again I believe this is due to the mounts and not the exhaust. Up into the RPMs it has somewhat of a ricey sound, but a lot deeper. Im happy with it.
Misc. Info: I doubt its going to be calling the cops to come get me, but if I was in a quiet neighborhood and someone had their windows open, they would hear me. Cant judge power differences as it was installed when I did my ATX/MTX swap.

Engine/Tranny: zetec/atx
Detailed list of exhaust or mod:Flowmaster turbo muffler installed @ local exhaust shop W/chrome down tip, all else stock.
Cost/Installation: $64 total.
Opinion: Sounds a bit louder than stock when driving normal, half thottle, a bit louder, WOT, really loud.
Misc. info:Catches people at the track by supprise everytime. When down RPMs, has a slight wine. Really good, suggested. Im about to remove the res and go w/the 2.25" piping and see what happens.

he i have a 96 mystique with the rear muffler cut out and the rest is stock..it was realy quite but then i think the resonater blew out or something cause man its loud now..but only at certain points..if i have it har don throttle it isnt to bad sounds like a truck ahha serioulsy it does and when i down shift lets say to second gear at 60 kmh which is at 4000 it has a cool vibration sound and man it echoes off of buildings sucha unique sound to it..but i was thinking of putting a glass pack in place fo the resonter or a jsut a straight through smaller resonater into a magnaflow aluminized wiht 1 3/4 in and 1 3/4 out jsut so that it will have that sotck look ahah i dont want ot give anyhting away here for them civc guys haha so what do u guys think ? will it sound nice..or maybe shoul si jsut put a straight pipe in place of the resonater and that magnaflow muffler at the rear give me some ideas guys..i want a loud car under throttle something to scare people aahh casue around here cops dotn care...
