3800 Exhaust Question

[BLK00GTP]

I am going to Jim's place next weekend for a 3" DP, U-Bend delete, and removing the resonator...I am holding off on the rest of the exhaust for a few weeks but my question is how will the car sound with stock catback and and no resonator. I dont want a raspy sounding exhaust. When I complete the catback will it sound raspy without the resonator? Thanks in advance.

it shouldnt, but it might..

It probably will at high RPM's

i know when i downshift through the gears, and you can feel the air pushing out, it sounds kind of raspy. i can't hear my exhaust though when i floor it, i just hear the supercharger whine

zack

Thanks guys. What kinda of mufflers would you recommend. I want something free flowing but somewhat quiet..Without Drone or raspy sound..If I get the 2.5" catback could I use the stock mufflers? Do they flow enough?

Dynomas Super Turbos...

More flow, less noise.

Dyno tests prove it--Dynomax's Super Turbo mufflers are the closest thing you can get to running an open pipe, but a lot quieter. To make things even better, Super Turbos have more features than most other mufflers put together--less backpressure for improved quarter mile times, aluminized construction for long life and good looks, patented flow directors that channel exhaust for maximum performance, and fiberglass matting for a deep, throaty, powerful performance tone.

What advantage is there to removing the resonator?

 

[iliveonnitro]

a marginal increased exhaust flow

 

[EmersonHart13]

Isn't the verdict on the street that the resonator really is worth keeping on? The flow increase really does not out perform the increase in sound, unless you like it tthat is...

No, especially not if you are keeping stock mufflers. It barely sounds any different without a resonator and you are saving a little bit of weight and increasing flow. As for the Super Turbos, if I bought those, I would have to look into some sort of aftermarket resonator. They drone quite a bit on the highway.

Does jim sell these at his place?

I am going sometime in the near future to get my custom exhaust.

If you can keep your stock dp i would love to have it. When i pull my headers off i won't have a dp to bolt back in place, and my exhaust work won't be ready when i take them off.

Does anyone remember the part number from Summit or model number from Dynomax?
Are they the WLK-17730 for $38.88 on Summit? Thanks
