hey i just got a universal magnaflow muffler welded on my 05 lx sedan . I find theres barely any difference in sound from stock , wondering why and what i could do to make it sound a bit more louder ?

You know what you need to do, your title says it- delete the resonator. This does nothing to your emissions, so don't worry about it being deleted.

The only way is taking off the resonator but then it will be so loud you will not be able to think so do not do that. Plus your car will be raspy as hell and sound like crap. Your other option is get a real catback exhaust or stay with that. Quite is good, Mine is quite and I love it.

mate up some 2.25" piping from the cat-back with a resonator somewhere in there.. That'll give you a little bit of sound..

That'll effectively give you an actual cat-back system..

Mr.VTEC

Yeah get a cat back system I got a 2.5" system....its rather loud. But I like it like that. Got 2x louder with my intake.

Mr.VTEC

Its a good loud though.....its very deep...even at high RPM's and no rasp whatsoever

if i delete the resonator do you guys think it'll sound ricey and **** bc im not looking for that at all , if so i'll just live with what i got for a while til i can afford the cat-back

I definitely wouldnt cut off your resonator. Ive heard it, and it does make your car sound like crap!

Already answered your question.

get a full header back setup.

welll okay , maybe getting custom bent 2.25 inch piping would that help for the sound? or is the any way of upgrading the resonator . i cant really come up with 500 for the magnaflow catback right now.

Getting piping custom bent will prolly run you that much.. I'd just save the money and do it right instead of spending hella more money in the long run on 2 different exhaust setups..

mattmac10

true , i guess im gonna just start saving up and eventually get the catback , will probably be better off that way , thanks for all the advice!

that's what we're here for

mattmac10

heyyy , one more question . My exhaust guy told me it was the stock resonator taking all the sound away before it reachs the muffler . i can get a magnaflow resonator for 67 dollars shipped . Would that help for adding sound at all ? appreciate all the input!

mr22508

Im sure it would at least a little!
