I had the same setup as the first video and yes daily driving it like that got old fast.
For sure. Loved it at first but got rather old fast from a comfort factor.

Thanks. H-pipe maybe?
Definitely more noticeable. I wouldn't do a resonator delete on stock muffers, after having done it myself. While it does increase the volume to a nice level, and sounds great at partial throttle, it is really, really raspy and tinny sounding at WOT. Go axleback before going resonator delete. You'll have a much cleaner and richer tone doing it this way, and can do it without going very loud.

Touring axle back would work for me, not wanting to be "that guy" on my street. All the Stangs at C&C have over the top systems, just WAY too loud for a DD.

:thumbsup:

Corsa touring or that new awe touring axle-back. I love my Sport axleback and it's still not super loud. Corsa touring is a 7 dB increase over stock only, which means you'll actually hear it but it's far from obnoxious. Point of reference: Xtreme catback is 24 dB over stock.

Not too much. Probably will be hard to notice a volume increase but the tone will be great.

I just ordered one of these after watching your vid. I'm currently running roush mufflers with an x pipe and cat deletes and It needs to be toned down

You might still need to add some bullet resonators behind the 11386 to calm the volume down to acceptable levels, since you have cat deletes.

I had the FRPP Sport Catback which I thought sounded pretty good. Once I added cat deletes though, it was just way, WAY too loud and raspy. It was obnoxiously loud and sounded ridiculous in my opinion. Unwilling to reinstall the cats, I opted to swap my X-Pipe out for a Borla resonator similar to what the OP has. Car sounds absolutely wicked now. The resonator definitely quieted the exhaust down quite a bit (it's about as loud as it was with the FRPP catback before I added the cat deletes) but it's quite a bit deeper and more "refined" since removing the cats. Happy with the exhaust note but I do wish it was just a tad louder. I've been considering swapping my FRPP Sport mufflers for the Borla ATAKs since there's a set up in the member classifieds. Overall I'm really happy with the exhaust after adding the cat deletes and resonator, though.

11386 resonated X-pipe is going in tomorrow. I am also thinking seriously about making it a double-X, with another X-pipe right behind it in the same space the resonator occupies. It will be close.
