Default RE: sounds like a ricer WTF!?!?!

i went borla. Everything is from them, still have the resonator in, and the stock cat. It sounds very deep, but not loud at all. Its very very subtle. My buddy drives the same car and said that if I take out the resonator it'll be DEEPER but I dont want to risk it sounding like a rice can =). As people said before, try putting the resonator back on, and when they have it on the lift, check your pipes. Piping isnt extremely expensive, and therefor shouldnt be toooo pricey. Good luck!!


Cheers,
Monty

ok. so i have a custom dual magnaflow, dual chamber setup on my B6 1.8TQM. 3" i believe. it sounded awesome for a while. after i took out the cat and went to an ecode test pipe. it sounded awesome.
Theres one problem right there. YOU HAVE A TURBO CAR, YOU NEED A STRAIT THROUGH MUFFLER!!

That tone your hear is.you guessed it...the exaust resonating. that also happens to be a note that our ears pick up really well. resonators tent to lower that note, but personally i like it. what defines a fartcan for me is when all you hear are the puffs of the exaust and no pressure or engine sound.
