new exhaust is to loud what now

[mod mod t56]

I just swapped my exhaust out it was jba shortys and magna flow cat xpipe and cat back 2.5 now its jba shortys flowmaster off road x 3" and jba3" back to tips to say the least its 5x-6x louder then my old set up and fill like I lost power.... tuner told my my set up was maxed out so I went bigger... will cats quite it down any and maybe give me a little more back pressure or will that be a waste of time at point?

Put the midpipe with the cats back on. A little back pressure is good for the low-mid range on a street car. Plus your car won't sound like a Mack truck.

When I added my O/R X, I was like geez this thing is loud. But I love it sound like a monster. Yea, get cats back on if you want it quieter.

thanks guys any ideas on a 3" how much for a good pair and what brand

Personally I would go get a set of resonators put in instead of cats. I've been told by my tuner that these cars when ported, pullied, llarger s/c, ect. the added heat, fuel, and pressure will cause even high flow cats to melt down! He had it personally happen to his car and has seen it with multiple other. Has anyone else seen or heard of this happening? sorry to high jack your thread but if there going to fail maybe resonators are a better way to go?

Tuner told you your setup was maxed out at just around 500hp? wow. :bash:

You don't need a full 3" setup until about +600hp minimum.

If you don't want to add cats, you have a couple options: add a turbo or change the mufflers...

Why not put cats on the car?

the exhaust was put on back in 04 wondering if the design has changed since then and i know its over kill some what but it dosent make since to me to take my 2.5 off for another 2.5 this way i will have room to grow.... i wasnt not expecting big gains just not losses either.... car made 527 said injecters maf and exhaust is maxed out maybe it willome to life on the high way im also going from 3.73 to 3.55 gears wondering if thats why.... just dont have the gut check like it used to

i'm use to the sound now and it has grown on me a lot . i get a ton of compliments on it so i am going to leave it as is . i have heard bad things about cats melting down and hurting engines . that could be avoided with a good high flow cat though .

a lot of tuners turn off the 02s - with cats that can be an issue

i see people say this all the time...but where has it been proved?

you definitly lose torque with no cats, atleat mine have showned it on the dyno, but i love how it sounds with no cats, monster sound, but if its too loud for you, slap on you're 2.5" catted x pipe, you should be just fine, people run aftermarket blowers with a 2.5" system and make over 580 to the wheels and they are just fine, believe me you're not anywhere near maxed out at 500rwhp
