Exhasut Line modification??!!!, 2 Muffler on one exhaust??? Options

[lilpmp]

Hi guys, i was wondering if it would be possible to Delete my resonator, put the stock muffler (with modification) instead, and put a fireball exhaust(jdm style) in the place of the stock muffler...

because here in QUebec its illegal for us to have Louder muffler than original one, so if the sound is cutted by the stock one, then the second muffler will not make any noise? or a tiny tiny rumble???

Because i really like the look of the side up exhaust...But i dont want no ticket!!!

If u have any suggestion i would really apreciate it!!! thanks!

Ack -- why can people not tell the difference between resonators and mufflers?

A resonator is not a muffler. It's an echo chamber. Tap on yours, it'll ring like a bell. It bounces soundwaves into each other, cancelling the noise out. Great for smoothing the tone of one's exhaust, only good at reducing the volume. They come stock.

A straight-through muffler is often mistaken for a resonator because they're both cylinders. Aside from the exterior shape, however, they are nothing alike. A straight-through is packed with insulation behind a perforated centre pipe. This absorbs sound. If you have one and tap on it, you get a dull response. Straight-throughs are great at reducing the volume with minimal flow impairment, and offer the flexibility of greater noise suppression with a longer body. However, they will not smooth the tone nearly so well as a resonator.

If you want a muffler for looks on the end, without compromising volume, I'd suggest adding a straight-through round-body muffler after your resonator, and then stick whatever muffler you want on the end of the pipe. It won't sound the same, but it shouldn't be notably louder.
