okay so i have an 07 impala ss and i am debating on what type of exhaust to get and i would like some input. im thinking about a 40 or 50 series flowmaster or a magnaflow. i want it to sound like a beefy but i also dont want it to be really loud in the car.
your input is greatly appriciated.

My flowmaster 40 series are loud in the car. Road trips can give me a headache especially with DoD kicked on

Start with removing the resonator. If it's not loud enough I'd go with the Flowtech afterburners.

This is catless so your setup would be quieter:

what exactly do you have to do to delete the resonator? im looking to spend around 400 dollars.

Have it cut out and a piece of pipe welded into its place.

DudeWTF407

but say its to loud, is it something that can be put back in?

AlabamaGuy

Yes it can be welded back in place. It's not going to be loud though.

DudeWTF407

alright also that wont interfere with the powertrain warranty correct?

Just do a cut out on the stock exhaust. I just did that(plus i have headers) and it sounds great. I'll try to get some vids of my car tomorrow so you can see how it sounds.

Shouldn't. Might have to fight your dealer on it, some are gracious about it some not, but the law states that the burden of proof is on them to prove that the modification caused a certain failure...theoretically they could say that the increase in power from aftermarket exhaust cause (for instance) the trans to fail. Surely they wouldn't be that ****...but the possibility is always there.

if you don't think that is loud enough after you cut out the res get either a magnaflow or the afterburners and that should be perfect for what you want. oh and if you can cut out the res yourself and weld in new pipe it will be super cheap to do.

it was only $80 to do a res delete and replace with pipe and also put my cutout right before the Y

I've got a resonator delete only. Rest of the car is stock.

So if you want to meet up and hear what it sounds like let me know. I think it cost me like $40 to get it removed at Ice Cold Auto Air on 50 a couple of years ago. Still have the resonator somewhere too.

Whats quieter, flowmasters or magnaflows? The reason I ask, is because Im going to get a full exhaust next spring. Hi Flow cat, full 3" pipes, and since I got my cutout, I can open it as loud as I want. I just want something subtle for daily driving, but not to quiet, lol. Listening to a lot of these videos doesnt do much, because I know how much the microphones really dull out the noise.

i think magnaflows are quieter

TheMonteMan

magnaflows are definitely quieter.
