justmike Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 hope this is in the right section, i have a 95 mc z34, when i first take off it sounds like crap( weed wacker - or just real ricey) for my birth day my parents had thrush turbo mufflers put on it , as the stock ones were rusted out and from behind the car looked bad, well even with the new mufflers on it still sounds raspy, but sounds good afer like 25 mph or so.. any ideas as to why?? any one have sound clips of a 95 or 96 mc with after market muffler?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Garage Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 v6's don't always sound the best. what is the condition of the resonator or the cat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmike Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 my dad also had them remove the resonator. i know my v6 is diff than the v6 in my dads buick gn, but it just so raspy at take off. i am looking for a test pipe so i can remove the cat just to hear if it sounds better.

94 olds vert Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Here is my 3.4l DOHC driving around. It has two Magnaflow mufflers, no CAT and a hallowed out resonator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 The 3.4 is a very raspy engine... Removing the resonator probably did more harm than good when it comes to sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I like the way mine sounds with no res. I'm thinking about putting a glass pack in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schurkey Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 i am looking for a test pipe so i can remove the cat just to hear if it sounds better. Good luck. They've been illegal to sell for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich_e777 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Exhaust manifold gaskets? or the exhaust flange gasket might be worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 olds vert Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Nate, I like you're purrin tiger sound! Thanks. I have decided against putting a resonator on. I like the way this car sounds. [video=youtube;gBTWc3_o8Iw] That video yu can hear what it sounds like after the car has been warmed up for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
