C32 Exhaust Comparison

Overdrive and I got together and compared two different exhaust mods while retaining stock muffler. Deleting secondary cats makes car sound much better.

Overdrives exhaust mods: headers, deleted secondary cats and resonator delete.

A teal Vespa with tassles and glitter. You know you're jealous.
They both sound good! I need to do something, after two months of owning it I already want a little more exhaust growl.

I am surprised at how deep the tone is on Overdrive's, I know he has headers but it doesnt sound like a V6.

Thanks for the clips!
Makes me want to delete my resonator now.

deleting secondary cats made it sound like that, the headers did make it sound a bit deeper but not as much as removing secondary's.

The headers did give it a throaty sound (the V8 kind of sound) but.... If you listen to both cars, You can tell with the cats on, our v6's sounds kind of muffled, but with them off, they sound like what I have minus the throaty sound if you don't have headers

I've been thinking about both of these mods (including headers)...I just am not a fan of the idle sound myself. I really like when you have any throttle in it though, sounds mean, that's excellent, but idle it sounds like an old pickup. (no offense or anything)
