Quote: interested in the resonator idea DOHC6T, have you done this on yours? does it still groan like a truck or is this absorbed?

Yeah mate I've done it....2 x 2.25 stainless mercury hotdogs.....and no groan....you'll only get groan leaving the centre muffler and removing the rear. I also changed the oval tip to twin straight cut 2.5 dual wall stainless ones.

I did mine on the cheap.

Had a whole centre muffler section made up with straight pipes including flanges for $200. Could have just had the stock centre muffler cut out for around $80 but I wanted to retain the original section if I wanted to return it to stock.

And just recently had a rear sports muffler fitted for $180 as I broke the honeycombe in the stock rear muffler with so much extra flow. I also wanted to get resonators/hotdogs inplace of the rear muffler, but was warned slightly against it saying it would have a very tractorish sound. I would love to do it eventually with hotdogs, but as it currently is, it's pretty loud.

Another idea would be to remove centre muffler and replace with 2 x 2.5inch with resonators. Then later if u need to save coin possibly retain the centre piece if you were to go say custom 4inch dump with 2x 2.5's. That is what I have done exhaust note sounds pretty good..

This was the original plan for myself but I gotta deal with another exhaust that I cant refuse.

Hey mate I assume you changed both your centre and rear muffler with the hotdogs? Does it drone at all? From what I can gather, like you already said removing one muffler, either centre or rear will make it drone a bit. I'm pretty keen to swap my mufflers as well (only to get a bit more sound out of it, not worried about more power yet ) but don't want it to drone.

Ben the stock exhaust will be fine upto 340-350rwk mark with a high flow cat and a muffler removed.

I also have a modded stock system, has the small xforce 2 x 2.5" muffler installed, and 2.5" hotdogs at rear, its loud, but sounds good! and 100cpi 5" cat
