2nd cats or Resonators, which is louder?
when deleted which gives more volume? i know deleting the resonators gives a raspy tone which most hate. ( I like aggressive though). and 2nd cat delete gives deeper sound, which more like. (also a great sound)
I have OEM (2 pipe )mod, and looking for louder sound. So with that said, i am not looking for advise on which sounds better! .whats going to unlock more volume. not looking to delete both btw. one or the other. thanks for any help. not looking to touch primary cats also. |

I had the oem mod (2 perf pipes) and deleted the 2nd cats. It was noticeably louder and also a lot more raspy. I eventually replaced the straight pipe with a second set of resonators to cut down on the rasp.
Never touched the original resonators so I cant tell you how much, if any louder that would have been as opposed to the 2nd cats. Maybe just start by removing the secondary cats and if that still isnt loud/raspy enough for you then go ahead and take out the resonators too. |

in the pass i have always did full exhaust, and always did away with resonators, but went with high flow cats.i wanted to keep this car little more DD friendly for the time being though. i might gut the 2nd cats. |

Deleted secondary cats, resonators and replaced 2 pipes in OEM exhaust. Mega raspy loud. Probably don't want to go that far... thus I replaced the backbox now to a supersprint. Hint of rasp but much better now. Still running with my chopped up OEM x-pipe without the cats/resonators.

If you're sure that's what you want? For me it was a bit too much. Fun though!
Full of character but very thin and raspy sounding though. Extreme ear piercing sound.
