Some FX45 Exhaust Questions

[DaveButcher]

As some of you know, I'm new here. But, I had some questions regarding exhaust. So, I really like the sound of the OEM. I was very pleasantly surprised when I heard it for the first time and that it was already pretty loud. I was wondering what I could do to keep somewhere around the same sound but louder/deeper? Would resonator delete do it? (Any videos?) or would catless? Or both? Someone steer me the right way please! Thanks!

You will always have the same sound, maybe a muffler delete?

^ That is a wicked set up Andy^ But might be over budget for what he's looking for. I have also had the exhaust bug for my 45. Dave some options for you would be: remove/bypass your resonator with straight through piping, a New axle back exhaust w/without resonator removal or a hybrid of both.

My first plan was replacing the resonator with a simillar size Borla Xpro muffler (single 2.5 in dual 2.5 out) and then running new stainless straight out from there back. Bought the muffler still NIB but held off and decided to go a different route. My personal taste is for a lot louder configuration then most. So I'm going for a full custom setup.

If you have more questions PM me. I'll be happy to help with what I've learned along the way. I also could offer you a deal for a fellow member on the new in box borla xpro muffler,some stainless tubing and tips.
