Default Suggestions....Power Effects too quiet
Help me.....
Should I remove the resonator and go with straight pipes? Or is there another suggestion. (Must leave the cats on.)

Go with long tubes, high flow cats and no resonator with the Power Effects pipes and modules in back.

Try the resonater removal. B&B Triflow is the next step in noise.

My Polished Dynomax Turbos are too loud! We need to switch!
Try removing only the pre-cats if you have to pass emissions.

I ran my power effects wide open when I first installed them. I love the sound but it wasn't as strong as I had hoped. Got rid of precats and added a high flow cat and it is just right now. I did find after a couple of weeks they did become noticibly noisier just driving. If I am traveling interstate for any distance I crank it down to the third position to kill the resonance. In wide open position it is for all practical purposes straight though. So to get more volume you have to open it up up stream. good luck.

Dude you are hard core. My PE is border line too loud for me, especially on long trips. Take the resonators off and I'm sure you will eventually go deaf! Good luck
