Any videos/sound clips while driving?

I'm undecided to do it, since I like the stealth car/sound I have, but the exhaust could be a bit louder, but I'm afraid it could be a bit to much!

What do you guys think, only louder when full throttle or all the time with the resonator delete?

Thanks

Not loud at all. Distinct difference on cold start then "mellow" change in higher rev range. Any louder you'll need to change mufflers. No worries - you will not be waking up the neighbors ....

Thanks for the feedback

I was recommended to remove the Kat's instead of the resonator, do you think it will be louder that way?

Thanks

yes it is restrictive. Remove it - it changes the tone

Anyone remove the resonators and mufflers? I was going to do my resonators but ran into a guy that removed his mufflers. Sounded good..nice and deep, somewhat loud but not obnoxious. Curious what muffler and resonator delete would sound like. This is for the N/A 5.5 V8.

To clarify, sound restrictive yes. Back pressure restrictive I would say no as main chamber of resonator is straight through.

I heard several clips on YouTube and for my tastes resonator and muffler delete was too loud, especially on non-turbo V8.

What would be louder, res delete/keep muffler or keep res/delete muffler? Also, what will putting an X pipe do to the sound in place of the front res with either of the above setup? I need this car to rumble but not be boy racer booming loud. My CLS55 AMG sounded incredible stock, I would like this to be like that if not a bit louder.

Muffler delete will be louder than res delete. X pipe will lessen sound for either setup. There are several sound clips on YouTube and on this forum of various setups on the NA V8.

Thank you, yes I have seen most if not all the vids. I think I will do muffler delete instead of res. Appreciate the help brotha.
