Versa Loud exhaust!? Help Should I delete my resonator??

[rick254txVERSA]

I replaced my muffler with a cheap custom one it sounds decent with a deep tone but it seems to me it's louder in the cab than it actually is outside. I'm thinking of taking off my resonator which appears to be the size of the muffler so I know it will make it louder i just wonder if it will be TOO loud to where it sounds nasty like your muffler simply fell off? If anyone has done this please let me know what it sounded like my Versa is a 2011 SL with a 1.8 and CVT. Thanks for your help! :dblthumb

No resonator and it sounds great!

My muffler fell off my car and I replaced it with a louder custom muffler I have the cvt and it makes great sound when you get after it.

Thanks for the reply! By chance do you know the brand of muffler or atleast how long it is and what size of tip it has? Also how's it sound just driving normal? Thanks again

I don't know the brand but it has a normal tip and is quiet until you get above 2000 rpms. It cost $200 so it is probably a cheap knock off of the higher end brands.

removing the resonator will make it louder

Thanks for the reply i actually had it done this morning and turned out pretty loud but not too loud yet may have to add a header LoL.

Not to mention that the muffler probably shouldn't have fallen off yet... or am I crazy? I may be crazy, but my muffler failed and some exhaust bits fell off back in May (April?)... after my cat failed in October/November (2011). :/

I replaced my resonator with a cherry bomb glass pack a while ago. boy was it a waste of time and money, it hardly made a difference!

IMO, If you're going racing, you want a totally unrestricted exhaust flow. However on a street car. The factory resonator will not hurt performance.
My system is all factory with a Stillen "axleback" muffler. This setup produces a nice mellow exhaust tone below 3K RPM.
It only starts to "bark" over 4K RPM. At idle my neighbor's diesel pickup is loader.
