Muffler Delete

[FoMoCoSHO]

There's just simply no way that a muffler delete doesn't drone. No way.

In fact, the SHO just isn't a car I can see bumbling around everywhere. It needs to maintain a subtle exhaust note. Something like a stock Nissan VQ would be ideal for me. Very subdued, but excellent sound under load/throttle.

What the hell is a Nissan vq?

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Catted dp's>cutout>OEM for me.

Well, the 3.5l H series or whatever they are called. May be off on my nomenclature. Lol!
But, the 6 cylinder found in both Nissan and Infiniti vehicles - in the Z and the G series, FX, whatever, etc..

Sweet sounding exhaust note, even with original equipment.

Gotcha, Nissan and BMW make some sweet sounding 6's.

Yeah, for sure. From the factory, I like that the SHO is quiet, but I can't understand why it is silent. It's damn near a travesty.

I seriously considered gesweks Darthtipped Corsas on OEM pipes but I spent too much time thinking, not enough buying.

Oh well....

Is that pretty subtle?

I keep thinking, I'd really like just a set of mufflers on the factory piping. In my opinion, alot of drone originates from increasing piping diameter.

All you need it a resonant tube. Works wonders. I'm not limited to any muffler design. I love the amazing downshift sound I get now.

My thoughts exactly on drone and pipe diameter.

So, I'm going to need recommendations to fix my newly created drone. Thanks in advance.

This guy said he ran the delete for a while and the drone wasn't bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8v5Sw_lTX8&list=UU6r8fJRSQ7lgDX0g9O0bEvA

OK GUYS HERE AT THE FACTS AND VID's
1) With NO MOD's I add DynoMax axle back exhaust because ( IHeartGroceries ) is right stock is just to quiet. http://www.dynomax.com/exhaust-systems/?find=2011-ford-taurus-sho-30703

2) If you don't go over 2.5" on exhaust pipes Taking the 3rd Cat out/adding X-pipe will not change the sound from stock pipes and DynoMax mufflers. In fact I have QUICKDISCONNECT to go back and forth from stock/DynoMax for road trips with wife. She likes the shock quiet muffler sound.

So I won't have any videos, because I don't have a YouTube account and I won't have any links. I don't know if the forum can load from a phone video.

Thanks for the links. I've watched them all before. I was confused as to a Magnaflow crossover muffler and an x-pipe. I'm new at car stuff. I'm better with computers and software. I will probably never post a video. I spoke with the best exhaust place in my city, and got a really fair price, great craftsmanship and what they thought was great advice. It sounds amazing at higher RPMs, but the drone is just brutal. I think I'm going to run dual Vibrant performance resonators until next summer. Live and learn.

I posted a video to the exhaust sound thread. I guess Tapatalk can take phone videos and I don't have to use YouTube.

 

[jtoddk98]

Looks like I'll be saving up for some dynomax mufflers. Hopefully just the dynomax rear mufflers will sound good with little to no drone

well….. after a bad night sleep, I woke up and decided to visit my local muffler shop and made a bad choice to remove the 2 rear mufflers…… sounds GREAT on the outside….. can't hear an elephant sneeze inside the cabin because of all the drone that I have magically created.  My wife said…. "wow…. sounds……good??"  If you are one to not care about drone…. then this is a sweet cheap mod to do.  If you are like me and like to have some attitude but still keep your peaceful interior sound, then run….. run as far away as you can from the muffler delete option….. now I have to figure out how to get it quieted back down, but still have some attitude.  My wife is going to be mad that I have to go and spend more money.  Whoops…..

You and I are in the same situation. That drone is head rattling. Is there really such a thing as a performance resonator? Would 2 more mufflers do anything for the drone? I'm open to all suggestions as I just ruined an MKS.

 

[PokerMunkee]

Ha,  others have done this mistake with the same crappy results. Those mufflers are there for a reason.  To do it right,  you need to spend $1300 on a corsa exhaust and $800 on catted down pipes.

That solution would come with divorce papers attached! Lol
