Sound of My Exhaust
Hey everyone. Just added an X-pipe to my exhaust. No resonator and no mufflers. The drone I was getting from the resonator is now gone and I can actually have a quiet conversation, well until I floor it!!! What do you guys and girls think?

I originally removed the resonator and replaced it with an X-pipe to get a smoother flowing exhaust. Now, the exhaust exits the manifolds, goes thru the X-pipe and to the tail pipes with no muffler. When I first deleted the mufflers, there was droning in the cabin that got louder the faster I drove. The resonator sits under the cabin of the car and is almost like a muffler. Both pipes from the manifold go thru the resonator before exiting out the back. If you cut open the resonator, you can see that the pipes that go thru the resonator has holes in them. The exhaust goes in the resonator and exits thru the holes in the resonator before going back out. The exhaust bouncing around in the resonator caused the droning. It's incredible how quiet it is in the car now. Should have done it sooner.

Good luck to you, as long as you are happy that is the main thing.
In my case the problem is the drone is always there when just touching the accelerator, like cruising 20,30,50,60,70mph everywhere
.
I had my original mufflers replaced with a straight thru type,even after i said i wanted it quiet,, man was it loud. Everyone always commented on how good the vette sounded, but hey all i heard was the drone mainly.
Well the drone got to me and i found a pair of second hand standard mufflers, ah the car is so much nicer to drive with standard mufflers.
Perhaps i am too old.
