Thread: Is there any sound improvement with so called high performance resonator ?

Sound is all personal preference.

That being said, I have never heard a 3800 car sound good. From no exhaust to some exhaust to full custom on youtube with the woofer turned up, it just doesn't sound good to me.

I would recommend a big/long (no that's what she said jokes) resonator, and the factory mufflers. Go ninja stealth mode, fully quiet. Focus on engine mods and make that supercharger scream and let it do all the talking. I have headers and factory catback... some rasp but mostly quiet, the blower screams and people give a look.

wont do a thing unless you use a fatter res.

and if it does go bad, a res runs over a 100 bucks, a glass pack, like you said old cherry bomb, same thing as a res, and cost 25 bucks.

my res went bad, rusted out. i put a glass pack in its place, sounds the same, nice and quiet. just how i like it.

Do you have a video or sound clip? You should post it, or make one and do so.

I'm with most people that 3800's exhaust doesn't usually really sound good. The only setup I like is maybe stock or a little quieter, and 0 rasp.

Well you could upload it to youtube, you'd have to get the video file from your phone to the computer, and make a youtube account if you don't have one. Or just get the file on the computer and email it.

if you like how your car sounds, that great, its your car. but i think you forgot how good the other cars sounded.

ive had cars from the 70's as well, they all sounded way better then any W body ive heard on youtube, or in person. this is why i like my car nice and quiet, cops dont give me a second look with it being quiet. if the cop can hear you before he see's you, now your on his radar.

only vids ive heard that i will say i liked to any degree is the few guys who have done full 3 inch exhaust set ups. truly sounds better then any other set up ive heard on a W body.

If you picked a 3800 to sound good.

You picked the wrong car.

But; like said.

Glasspack for resonator.

I actually loved the fact the stock one is even quieter than a Glasspack...then...choice of mufflers/tips...because stock mufflers sound like ass.
