cmb,

that cone thing looks like it might just work for my application. I wonder how it goes into the muffler? i guess it works kind of like a slip ring or something. I'll def. look into it.

also, forward motion isnt exactly the only vendor with exhausts

try www.fwdperformance.com
or www.turbosunleashed.com

i used to have a dynomax superturbo muffler, and it sounded just like stock... sure they dont flow as well as a straight through, but good for quietness untill your really on it at high rpms

Hmm.. I don't think I'm going deaf..but I had a hi-flow cat installed and completely eliminated the muffler altogether on my 89 CSX and I don't really consider it very loud. Sounds ALOT like an srt-4 really. I'd like to do the 2.5 downpipe al the way back.. but I'd bet that's louder... hmm

well, I guess loudness is in the ear of the beholder. My reference for quietness is a Cadillac Catera.

Anyway, I just found (after hours of searching) a place that has stainless steel resonators (link below). these are supposed to quiet down exhausts w/o disrupting the flow much at all.

question: my car isn't here since its having suspension and brake work done on it right now, so maybe someone can help:

is there room (after the cat) for a 4" dia. resonator or a 4.5" high/ 6.5" wide resonator on a p-body? I imagine it would have to go between the cat and the rear axle. these resonators are either 12" , 14" or 18" long. which would fit best?

thanks for info and opinions.

I don't know which would fit best, but the longer the more effective at noise reduction I am guessing you should have enough room for the 18".

cmb,

thanks, but what do you think about height/width of resonator?

does it have the factory victor reinz head gasket in at 130k?

benner135 · 01-30-2007, 05:47 PM

and how bout that pcv system, plus is your factory bov leakin a lil?

dgrun · 01-30-2007, 05:49 PM

benner,

thanks for the ideas, but no, its good, and no. the thing only got loud when the 3" system went in.

Going by my daytona the 4" diameter is doable ... the 4-1/2 x 6-1/2" oval probably not. My 6" diameter S/S DynoMax was up tight to the shielding just in front of the gas tank and still hung too low for my tastes. It lives where the CAT was/should be now. ... only place big enough (forward of the rear axle).
