when u change exhaust

irondiezl3 · 08-20-2008, 08:30 PM

if i change my exhaust with pacesetter and oe fit magnaflow converter then that will take away the factory resonator right? if so im assuming with that setup its going to be pretty loud?

pacesetter exhaust will delete the resonater.. here's a clip of what it'll sound like freshly installed (3400 V6) a blue alero drives by while its recording.. lol

this is an old clip- i'll go get an updated clip here in a few minutes while im on lunch break-

really i thought the resonator was before the cat? why the sound changed now? and whats ur favorite thing about the exhaust sound or performance. and alls u have is the pacesetter on that exhaust thats factory from manifold to cat?

resonater is after the cat.. I have a picture of that also- cat is the first tube, resonater connected behind it-

sound will change after the exhaust goes through its little break in period.. it sounds more like a V8 now-

I love the sound it makes.. didnt notice that much of a performance gain.

lets see what ur opinion of not much is. id say when i put a full 3pc cold air intake i noticed even less than not much of a performance difference so is this exhaust like that or more than a intake difference alot of posts claim to see atleast 5hp gain which is actually alot to me?

well.. you might gain 1 - 5 HP.. IF THAT.

exhaust on an N/A or -stock- application isnt really going to give you any numbers worth mentioning.. its mostly for sound.. now if you have other mods such as CAI and ported manifolds / bigger throttle body and other things like that.. then a higher flowing exhaust would be a good idea- I mostly got pacesetter for sound..

plus it was free because they eff'ed up my order somehow and ended up sending my money back.. the day the money came back to my account.. the exhaust was dropped off at my front door-

havent heard from them since

later on when I get into the more serious mods, I'm definately changing my exhaust.
