Can I make my Exhaust sound More Aggressive?

Can I make it any deeper without changing the system or back box I have heard of resonators would this help any suggestions?

Unhappy I DID

I did.

Too aggressive. I got stopped by the cops 3 times in a month. But no ticket fortunately.

If you like a deeper and louder sound, seriously, consider to replace the aftermarket performance exhaust.

Very Lucky

So lucky, I guess I was nice to the cop, so he said there was no room for him to write down 1 more violation and asked me to drive carefully?! - But I wasn't speeding at all, I was just waiting at the intersection for a green light. Motorcycle cops in LA, watch out, they can get you at any time. Oh... give me a break, too many tickets....

A cop is going to give you a ticket because your car sound so loud after removing the resonator????? You gotta be kidding. Removing the resonator will NOT make your car sound louder when idling, the difference is specially noticable when you step on the gas.

Also, changing to a performance exhaust will sound milder than removing the resonator? This is really interesting.....

Hey! That's exactly what I was about to say......

I did both on my E, with a Sebring muffler and I'm still not happy that its loud enuf - ITS ALMOST SILENT ON IDLE

Is Canauto subtly trying to sell his stuff .....again!!!?????!.... LOL….. I've noticed this guy trying desperately to promote his company on several forums and on different boards...... I guess its Ok when a guy is trying to make a living but making inaccurate statements like that sure makes one wonder how much he knows about cars ......

Unhappy Forgot to mention

Oops, forgot to mention yesterday that I have the customized muffler. I am a bit regret and am considering to change to the Carlsson touring dual exhaust system IF they are selling it.
