Default Exhaust question

Last year I installed the FRPP Duel Exhaust Kit for my V-6. I want to make it sound a little louder...

Should I buy the SLP Loudmouth Resonators?

Thanks.

Resonators will just quite it down, I would say get you some chinese headers off ebay, cause I have them and they do great. or get some Longtubes and have a shop cut your FRPP kit and put them on

Yeah some headers will make it a little deeper, but I don't know how much louder. If you want it a lot louder you're going to want to change the mufflers. I don't know much about the Loudmouths but I've heard they're raspy. I recommend Borla Stingers, they're pefect.

The V6 will sound little raspy without chambered mufflers. Loudmouths are just straight-pipes out the back, unless you get some inline resonators.
Headers wont help the sound much.

FWIW, I've tried some magnaflow 4" round resonators in place of mufflers, and yeah it was loud, but sounded like **** (I have them for sale, as I wont use them).

@Alloy--

Do you drive your car on the highway much (60+ mph) with the stingers? I have the stingers on my car and the longer i have them, I hate them on the highway because of the terrible drone. ( i have a hpipe setup). Ive heard that adding resonators would fix this. Any opinion?

Corsa has drone killing mufflers.
