yeah it does weird

 

HFC is the best way to go!

 

get an FI exhaust and call it a day

 

Bought a magnaflow Xpipe muffler...11385 and will install this week and see...
Just trying to get a little deeper more mellow tone and a LITTLE more sound at idle and when I step on it only....
Will let you guys know how it sounds on install and in a few weeks...
If it's still not enough I plan to replace the back 2 with magnaflows as well...

 

^ let us know how it goes!

 

OK - went in with the intention of just taking the resonators out and putting the 11385 magnaflow xpipe muffler/resonator...

Exhaust expert at the shop said that I could just take the stock resonators out for cheaper and would get great sound...NOPE! Sounded like tin crap!

Soooo HIS next best solution was to swap the 2 back mufflers to magnaflow 12225 and I remembered seeing that part number on here...and did it. Sound was better...
Sounds AWESOME at idle...and while cruising there is very little noise inside the cabin...at those 2 times I am satisfied...BUT under load and accel it is a BIT too loud....SO guess I am going back to have the Y pipe cut out and put the Xpipe magnaflow in there...he said that it will be DEEP but will be as quiet as STOCK...I don't think that's correct...

SO, I should have done what I wanted to in the first place instead of listening to the shop owner and trying to save $$...ended up costing me WAY more...now I wonder how it would have sounded just putting the 11385 in...all I wanted was more depth and about 15-20% more sound....
When I go back in I am asking for a discount bigtime!

 

^^ and that is exactly why i bought the FI system. bolt on, high quality and i knew exactly what it was going to sound like. I knew if i went the muffler shop route i would have an exhaust with multiple different size pipes and would have to be cut down if the transmission ever needed service.
