Will this quiet down my car?
Right now I have a custom 3 inch exhaust. it is completely straight with only a muffler at the end to quiet it down.
lately i have been getting pulled quite bit because my car is way too loud
i recently contacted a local custom fabrication shop and they said they will add a catalytic, and a resonator to quiet down the car
my question is, will a cat and resonator actually make my car quieter?
as far as i know a cat is only for pollution and a resonator is only for resonating (which i imagine will indeed quiet down my car, but not much)
what can be done to quiet down the car if these options arent suffice? (granted i want to keep the 3 inch)
aaand for the record, no this is not for my civic, but rather for my audi s4(not that it would make a diff)

usually yes. cat has a very fine mesh screen that restricts flow and separates the air. resonator usually works with the muffler to cut down on louder frequencies. these are really your only options without going down to 2.25 inch. the engine just cant flow enough air with the 3 inch. now if you had a big turbo, the exhaust would be almost like stock sound.
