Long Tube Headers + Borla.. Too Loud?

[DRKHORS]

Im installing the magnaflow tru x tomorrow morning on my roush axle back + res delete + mak cat delete whipple car tomorrow. What do you mean by neutered? You mean sound like stock? I made an entire thread on the mag res x pipe and everybody with the exact same setup as mine said that the magnaflow tru x took away all of the rasp, and it cut down volume by 30-40%, which is what i am looking for.

It did take away the rasp, but for me it was simply too quiet. It wasn't stock quiet, but it was definitely more quiet than just my catback with stock manifolds. Keep in mind my car is still NA. I think with you being a whipple car and moving more air, your end result will likely be different.

My apologies for not seeing this earlier this evening.

Install the MagnaFlo Tru x or the Borla resonated x along with the LT's. Trust me. Not to loud with top down & still let others know your car is not 'stock'.

Stephen,

I would like to talk to you more about this...

Give me a shout whenever you get a chance. I'm here to help.

I did very similar to this to tone down Corsa Xtreme to ARH LTH. A pair of 1794 Vibrants took out the trumpety sound and calmed it down alot.

Where did you place the Vibrants? I have some small resonators which are 6 inch long with maybe 1/2 inch packing attached between the headers and OR pipe. I was thinking of adding them there.

The 1794s fit in the straight section right before the inlet to the muffler. Almost perfect fit.

So I just got back from the muffler shop. The magnaflow tru x REALLYYY quieted everything drown dramatically. My car is now quieter than even before I took the cats off of the car. The tone did change and a lot of the rasp went away, its very deep. Anything under 3k rpm on my setup is almost like having just an axle back exhaust on a stock NA car. But if you floor it past 3k pedal to the metal it gives a very nice deep grunt. Im not sure how i feel about it though

If you do not want the car extremely quiet, dont get this. But if you were like me, and was worried 24/7 about being pulled over from being heard 4 blocks away, get this. I can enjoy all 650rwhp at my disposal and floor it way more often and stay under the radar. Although I did miss the popping gunshots when letting off the throttle at 4k or higher, it is nice being under the radar again and being able to fully enjoy the car without worry. I also heard the x pipe needs to be "broken in" for about 100 miles and it will get about 10% louder.

If you decide to make a change from there, consider the vibrant bottle-style resonators if you have room to install. While volume is reduced, they shine by taking some of the harshness out of the tones.

Maybe in the future i will add those resonators if i decide i just want a little volume back. But i paid $292 after taxes for my resonator, i dont plan on just taking it off yet. Ill just enjoy being stealthy right now and then when i go back to school in arizona in august, ill make it ridiculously loud again.

Dont blame you one bit. Enjoy stealth mode!

Yup exactly. Similar to below:

Agree with the Magnaflow being too quiet. I have LT's, x pipe and Roush mufflers which is crazy loud. Added the Magnaflow Tru-X and it killed the sound of the car drastically. I ended up taking it out.
