Loud Exhaust Dilemma

[kmart64]

Does having an OEM catalytic converter and OEM mid pipe make the muffler quieter? Because if I get a high flow, and an aftermarket mid pipe, I was thinking it would be a little quieter at a higher speed range. For example, right now, I have the first option (OEM cat and midpipe) and the muffler noise fades if I'm at 30-50 mph constantly. However, when I hit 60-70 I start to get a constant drone. Will getting a high flow and aftermarket midpipe make the noise fade between 60-70, because the only time I really I mind the droning, is when I'm on the free way. Thanks!

Get a better exhaust. Apexi ws2 is a good one that's pretty quiet and gives good performance.

Throughout my tuning experience, I have had many applicatoins, 1. apc muffler w/oem piping----CRAP!!!!!! 2. Greddy Evo2 No cat--awesome, But loud, I quieted it down with an extra resonator in place of the cat, after whhich it was awesome. 3. RS*R w/ cat --WHOA! Bad to the bone.--If money is an issue I would go with the high flo w/ a resonator, then save up for a cat back system - good luck!

but I saw this item that said "this high flow resonator replaces the oem catalytic converter..."

[aww_shiet]

if u have the money, get the RS*R... it's quiet and the cops wont hassle you as it looks almost stock

[kmart64]

is this high flow resonator the one on the oem midpipe?

I got a used header with a resonator attached that replaced my oem cat. Sounds good but probally lacks in the green department.

Depending on the muffler you get, some of those high flow ones come with silencers, don't know if they'er worth much thou... my car's all stock

high flow resonator? everyone i have seen has a straight through design, so aren't they all high flow? later.

Ya, they must be refering to the catalytic converter.... I'd just use a large resonator, and a quality muffler....like mangaflow.

personally, i am looking for something that sounds quiet, but not bassy droning, and looks relativeley stock, with a tip no more than 3", and that is pushing it. any ideas? i havent had any luck.

yeah, im looking for the same thing ^^, quiet, high flow, stock look. maybe instead of the big pipe, dual side by side? I need ideas quick, my shits draggin
