Factory Exhaust Resonator Removal and Free Flowing Alternatives

[Gunny]

AFAIK there are only 2 systems that have NO drone ... stock and Corsa ... the fitment is fine on either system. Corsa is reasonably tame until you get above 2500-2800 rpm then it is very loud (at least to me).

The early (90-92) stock systems were not only restrictive at the resonator but also at the mufflers ... can't remember the neck down at the muffs but I believe it was about 2" or less. Also, I think that only one tip flowed; the other was for appearance. The later stock systems were less restrictive and if you want to stay with a stock system it's probably easier to get one than try to mod or adapt an early model to fit your needs; otherwise you're looking at a variety of 3rd party exhaust systems. Finding the "perfect" exhaust system for all situations is a tough, perhaps impossible task ... I know since I currently have 3 systems hanging on the garage wall plus a Corsa system currently installed. Every system I have (except for the stock 90) has a certain appeal to me but also some drawbacks ... I'm looking for the happy medium which may not exist.

Do a search on this forum ... the guys in Chicago are doing some really nice things with larger systems, C6 flapper mufflers, etc. I haven't heard any of these systems yet but plan to next week at BG ... great place to hear a lot of different exhaust systems.
