I have a v6 in my car and i was wondering if there are any really cheap ways of getting rid othe rasp or whatevey you call it when i let off the gas at high revs. I don't wan't my car to be loud just not sound so much like a **** burner. I have a V8 that will be installed a soon as i can afford the parts.

 

dont worry about the sound of it now then worry about buying the parts to put that v8 in it ......the only true way to get rid of the rasp sound that your car is putting out is to put a v8 in it.....LMAO

 

well by parts i mean i need a new trans and thats not going to happen until at least next year.

 

OH ......well they make some resinator tips that might help i know summit carries them......here look at these

So what exactly will these tips do? act like glass packs or what? Im kinda new to this stuff so :shrug:

 

yeah iguess so i dont know for sure either on a v6

 

Do you have a cat? Is your exhaust too big for your V6? These are the two main things that contribute to rasp and annoying resonance.

 

NO cat and the pipe size is stock

 

yeah not having a cat can and will make it alot more raspy .....if you reinstalled a cat on it ...it would quite down alot

 

well again the biggest annoyance about this car is that the idiot who had the car before my sister welded the whole exhaust system together. the only thing not welded is where the Y pipe mates to the manifold

 

nothing wrong with welding things together especially when you get rid of a cat ...but it sucks for people who want to reinstall one later on

 

Kinda off topic but will a exhaust leak around the manifold cause a loss in power? i ask cause i had one and after i fixed it it seems to me that there is more power available at low RPMs is that a realistic thing or is it all in my head?

 

that would have to be mostly in your head .....

 

maby its just cause i am no longer hearing the exhaust leak and going shesh that sounds like crap. so i think i have more power

 

yeah i understand how that is...LOL...it always seems like its running stronger when in fact it just sounds like it does...
