im looking for mods to give it a deeper, throatier exhaust note. it doesnt soud bad now, but it sounds a liiiittle too sportbike for me. your advice is appreciated!

Coupe / fx35 midpipe will help.

Check out the g-faq page for more info.

how much do they run? btw thanks for always hitting me back on my posts

[joe603]

No prob! I'd look for a used one. I sold mine for $70 a few years ago when I upgraded my coupe's exhaust. Ebay...Craigslist...or this forum!

6MT's also do well with a plenum spacer mod. For even more, the Motordyne lower plenum will give you some decent gains!

the motordyne isothermal copper 5/16 spacer is my next mod. i got my r2c maxxflow monday so itll get installed this weekend. what will deleting the resonator do in terms of sound?

[joe603]

Deleting the resonator will make it sound raspy...do some youtube searches with it and you'll see. Spacer + Lower plenum is an awesome mod! The R2C is also sweet...I love mine!

whats the lower plenum youre talking about?

[joe603]

The Motordyne MREV2 lower plenum. On my phone...Google search it for details.

ohhh okay now were on the same page. i was thinking lower plenum and spacer were different things. you mentioned an intake spacer on the very first post i made on nico. ive heard of obx throttle body spacers but i think thats different than what you were talking about unless an intake spacer is the same thing as a lower plenum spacer

[joe603]

They are different things...Check out this webpage for complete info:

hey i forgot to ask you does the midpipe go all the way to to the muffler? i have a muffler delete on my car and the custom axleback section i have is welded to a pipe that leads to my resonator and from what i can tell, if i get the coupe/fx35 midpipe, im gona have to get another axleback section and new tips, right?
i have a picture but idk how to get it on here

Hi-flow cats will give you more exhaust noise while freeing up some power as well.

i already have stillen race pipes. i thought about the hfc's but i decided id be daring and get the "off road use only" race pipes. i see you have wheel spacers listed on your mods. will my car look stupid if i get wheel spacers for it with the stock suspension? i just want the wheels to be flush with the quarter panels. im planning on getting coilovers this summer

I agree with Joe, I did a resonator delete and it sounded very raspy and more like a sportbike than I liked. Just for info sake, I recommend staying away from headers unless you plan to run over 3k to 3,500 rpm ALOT or race tracks with it. The install is a pain on the pass side and you lose alot of lower rpm oomph. IMO I think the hfc's sound much better than the "test pipes" or free flows that you have, I took mine off and installed some Kinetix hfc and am very pleased with them. Lowered the high pitch sound to a deeper tone. Then, of course, I jacked that sound up by installing a cheap azz true dual exhaust system. It sounds great cruising nice and slow then all heck breaks loose when I floor it, a little tinny and high pitched. then again, it is a 6 cyl.

i actually got hfc's and the coupe midpipe a few months ago. best mods ive done to my car second only to the mrev2 and plenum spacer
