Hi,
Okay so I removed the cats and put glass packs in and deleted the muffler and is now straight through. It sounds great but when it hits 3000 it gets TOO loud lol. It sounds like a rumble rattle fart slap..(reverberating) ahh would anyone know how to oversome this issue? Should I just put the muffler back on?

no, over time you will go deaf and then the tone will be just "right"....lol
Do you still have a resonator in place?

This is the exhaust system

What kind of mpg change did you get if any? I had the CATs replaced and the installer could not fit the resonators back in. I lost almost 2 mpg.
PS mine sounds the same tone with the OEM muffler, probably is quieter but at 4000 it becomes raspy and can set off some car alarms. Once the car warms up it is less noisy.
im overseas and fuel doesnt cost much so i havent checked. I only had the car done a few hours ago and right now im about to go back put the mufflers back on and see what happens
Ive had the muffler put back in and it sounds standard again. Im going to have the cats removed and see what happens, will update you.
what do you think of something like this http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts...A2672A0A0.aspx and then straight through i guess.
I am going to remove the cats and leave the muffler and see what that sounds like. Just experimenting.
I have just a muffler delete with straight pipes and I thought it was ignorantly loud even with the cats and resonators.

I thought it would sound great because the straight pipes on my 540 sound glorious. Totally different worlds.

No real reason to get rid of cats and resonators unless you want to get pulled over everywhere and ruin peoples day.

sounds pretty savage. Unfortunatly mine didnt sound normal haha.
Ok an update, The cherry bombs are still on as cats and put the muffler back on and deleted the silencer and Y pipe from inside the muffler and it now sounds reaaaaaallly nice, take a look
The items near number 1 are CATs the smaller items to the right are resonators. Note you have the OBD I design with one oxygen sensor (29) thus the 2 to 1 pipe before the CATs ... still dual separate inlets. Resonators will probably remove the lower frequency thump sounds while the cats naturally reduce all sounds. The muffler reduces the low and some high. Guess that's why they are called tuned exhaust. but most companies cannot touch the CAT and resonators thus CAT back replacement.
Good info thanks mate car sounds alright now, going to do the interior this week and week after will have the car painted black and then hopefully start the turbo job
Turbo will completely change the sound of the car.
