I'm on the virge of completing a 351w swap into my car, and after starting it the first time, I'm not really happy with the volume - I want t to be louder and a bit sharper, yet not cop-stopping loud or ear drum piercing sharp.
I'm currently using a Magnaflow Streets system, and it uses glass-baffled cans with 4-inch resonator tips. I don't want to buy a new setup right now, so I'm looking for cheap ways to make the system louder.
What we tried so far:
0) Running with the existing setup (too quiet)
1) Running without mufflers (cop-stopping loud)
2) Running with 12-inch resonators on the end of the pipes (less sharpness, but still cop stopping loud - we all agree that it sounds REALLY good this way)
Here are my ideas:
0) Replace the resonator tips with non-resonator tips.
1) Remove muffler packing, and leave the resonator tips on them.
2) Remove muffler packing, weld in the resonators just after the xpipe, and leave the resonator tips on the mufflers.
3) Remove muffler packing, weld in the resonators just after the xpipe, and put non-resonator tips on the mufflers.
Looking for opinions here.
