It will change it some? The more air you pull into the engineand the more you open up the exhaust opens up the motor and has to change the sound some. I agree with you to a certain extent on these motors because the stock manifolds are so resrictive and they have such a small throttle body. Every little thing you do will change the sound of the motor some, especially headers, cam and valve train.
it doesnt matter. the intake doesnt change the exhaust sound.
sure it does :th_nervous:
I'm taking it to another exhaust shop tomorrow to add a glasspack in place of the res hopefully that will take away most of the "rice" sound. Once I find the intake thats legal in CA I will order that as well. As for the headers smoh legal one for CA are like a grand so **** that. I'll keep you guys posted on my rice sounding removal adventure lol.
I had my air box on just a few minutes ago and took video of the exhaust with the box on and it was the raspy gp sound. I put my open cone on and it definately added depth to the exhaust. It didnt change the tone but it did add depth.
Post the Vid or send me the link pleaseQuote:

because the motor has the ability to breath doesnt mean the exhaust note changes. the sound of the exhaust is based on a few factors:Quote:

stock air box is restrictive, now put on a cone filter that is less restrictive, more air is able to pass through the engine and out the exhaust
the more air going in has to come out as well and it comes out at the end of the exhaust system where the mufflers are so they will behave differently
Not trying to argue with anyone or be a pita at all. I havnt been on the grand prix scene for very long so believe me or not, try it yourself. I cant get the second video with the deeper sound to send to my email. Even on something as small as my one cylinder 450 cc quad the engine tone changes when you add a different intake. Simply because the air is flowing at a different cfm through all of the parts you just mentioned. More air flowing into the tb through the intake manifold, into the heads and out through all of the components you just mentioned at greater volume creates a different sound again if you dont believe me get a db meter and test it at the pipe it does change. If you really want it to change up the compression and port the heads, then it will be very noticable.
what youre hearing is the intake.
f) sure it does :th_nervous:
I have been building motors for 12 or so years bro, im over it your right im wrong even though the laws of physics say im right.
uh yeah.. A intake will effect the sound of your exhaust.. It will add depth to it just as thunder stated.
Btw magnaflows sound great This one has no res.
YouTube - 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP w/Magnaflow exhaust
Btw this is the best sounding 3800 iv ever heard and its got a magnaflow
YouTube - 1996 Monte Carlo - L67 Swap + Whipple
sure guys. keep being naive, it's fine. just stop saying it and letting other people learn things that aren't true.
Your full of...Quote:

More flow = more volume.
not necessarily the tone.
is this a nice middle ground for you guys?
im talking about no matter what intake you put on your car the exhaust note will not change. given that you were to change the FLOW DYNAMICS of the upper and lower intake then you may be able to produce a small, but different, sound from the exhaust. putting an open cone, short ram, fenderwell, etc. intake on your car will NOT change the exhaust note.
Engine sound and Exhaust sound are two different things.
You know what changes your exhaust note? GO FAST MODS! If its not quick, noone gives a damn what it sounds like anyway.
Yeah my engine makes more noise but my exhaust sure dont.
