I just saw a video on GTChannel on YouTube where a guy installed a Spoon exhaust on a Honda S2000 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E40lTHPlc8o#t=478 goes straight to the part of the video where they show what I'm referring to next).

As you can see, the Spoon exhaust has a silencer which is easily removed from the exhaust tip. Does anyone know if that can be done on the stock 4GS exhaust?

I'm a newb when it comes to working on cars so please don't bash me if this sounds stupid lol.

Stock exhaust don't have silencers.

Aftermarket cars come with silencers because it may be too loud for the owner.

Thanks for the reply. Basically there is no "cheap and easy" way to make the exhaust louder, correct? I'd have to go with a new aftermarket exhaust for that?

You can take the resonators out and put straight pipe that will make it louder

I did this on a previous car. Sounded great and it only took the exhaust shop about 30 minutes. But beware you might get a little drone inside the car.

Yikes. Sometimes I feel my GS already has a drone. I don't think I'd want anymore.

Aren't the resonators behind the muffler and if they are im pretty sure you can remove the mufflers and leave the resonators on which would make the exhaust louder, without any drone

3:55 into the video. haha

Wow...LOLLLLL. I'm definitely not trying for a rice rocket fart can sound. I just wanted to bring out the natural sound it does make. I've noticed in sport+ mode when I'm hard on the throttle, it sounds better in the car than outside of the car. I would simply like to share my interior's orchestra with the rest of the world LOL.

I have a 2012 Challenger SRT, I took the resonators out and it sounds AMAZING!. Only cost me about $50 to do it as well. But that's a V8. I don't think a V6 would sound good. Your going to get a Civic SI sound. I would just leave it stock, take a breath and just drive.

Just wondering did you get any drone?

PirelliRC

no i didnt get any drone, is Obama around ? lol

i am not quite sure i know what drone is, pertaining to a vehicle.

Jack777

It's a loud bass thump, it also happens when you open the rear windows a little on the freeway

Drone is the sound that comes from cruising along the highway. It's the sound your exhaust emits when the engine is under a slight load. It sounds like a constant deep humming in a tin can. That's the best I could describe it.

This is exactly how I would explain it when I had my Challenger R/T without resonators. But that car had cylinder deactivation so I think that may have been part of the culprit.
