Default exhaust too loud

i hate driving the sc around due to the exhaust noise. what co will make least audible exhaust? i plan on putting on resonators, but people say it will not help that much. i do not want to go stock b/c of the hp loss. any suggestions?

Unless you're boosted you're not going to loose noticeable power. You may in fact gain usable power low end to mid range.

resonators will be your best friend all it does is quiet it down. i had a full 2.5" exhaust on my g35 straight through it was insane till i put a resonator in to quiet it down a lot.

You bought Johnny's car I see. I didn't know he sold it already.

Sounds like you've already got some serious stuff done to it?

Resonators should help quiet your exhaust down. Those turbo cars can get ridiculously loud sometimes.

Maybe try switching back to a dual exhaust setup. You could run 2 mufflers that way, also you could reduce the pipe sizing after the "Y".

Edit: You could try some sort of sound deadening inside the car.
