Exhaust note
Hey guys. Got the x-pipe mod done to the car when I first got it. I love the way the car sound a bit more aggressive. My question is how can I make it a bit louder without drone but keeping the same stock/raspy sound i.e. keeping 1st or 2nd gear at high RPMs. I tried searching but can't really find anything. Thanks

Nothing you can really do except remove the stock muffler and put in something aftermarket that will be a bit louder. RemOving the mufflers altogether will surely drone like mad. A secondary cat delete may help but can cause low end torque loss so I'd steer clear of that option. Honestly, any louder than just doing the x-pipe will surely make it sound like a Japanese import. IMO just keep it how it is and enjoy the sporty exhaust note when you get on the throttle.

Where is the secondary cats located at? Is it the two round canister before the x pipe I found in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_0mKNr6tww

Ok guys. So I finally got it done. A lot of shops won't do it because they all think they were cats. I made one of the shops call MB with the part number and was told they were resonators. Thanks for all the help. So here is the link to a short video I made. http://youtu.be/kMz6qmTy3xI
