had it set up like that but had to put a couple of little glass paks in the x pipe then to the eliminators... with eliminators themselves there was too much drone....sounds awesome now....wife and neighbors hate it...I love it..

Might have to give that a shot. I still would be retaining my factory resonator if I didn't mention that so not sure how much that deadens sound
I love the way it sounds now, just not quite loud enough honestly

The Magnaflow piece I put on had about the same effect. It is filled with sound deadening material as well as a nice x-pipe. It's alright for cruising, though still very audible. At WOT it sounds pretty much like straight pipes all the way through. Absolutely no drone or resonance however.

Resonance can be an issue though. My car has the 2.59 rear and there is resonance - but it never bothered me enough to want to put mufflers back on.

Exactly my experience. Previous owner removed mufflers, I didn't like the drone and don't need a loud exhaust, so I put the mufflers back on. But some people like louder exhaust and don't mind drone. However, too loud does not mean too old. Too loud simply means that a driver doesn't like a loud exhaust note, doesn't crave any extra attention, doesn't need to fix something that isn't broken, etc. Some people like louder exhaust because they believe it's how a V8 sports car is supposed to sound, or they like the sound and/or extra attention, etc. As long as it's not obnoxious and rude, violating the basic public right for a person to have their eardrums not assaulted, I say to each their own. And the Harley riders blasting down my street at 2am with straight exhaust... that is some serious bullsh**
