A resonator or a glasspack. This will get you started. I'm always raving about Dynomax glasspacks since that's what I have and it really did the trick. At SummitRacing.com, enter these part numbers. They are different lengths.

Yup, a resonator would make it quiter, and maybe may it deeper too. You might be able to fit a second small muffler in there too.

Personally the factory sound of a car to me sounds gay.. i like my car now lots of ppl say they hear me commin a 1/2 mile away... but the cops hear ya commin too so thats why i wanted it quieter

My car is pretty quiet. 25 inch glasspack to 14 or so inch Muffler.. it's obscenely quiet.


does that make my car gay?

you mean you can hear your facotry exhaust.

and by "gay" i think you mean "raspy" or "too loud"

just put on a big resonator.

The stock sounds the best, not gay. If you could have free flowing that quiet, ALOT of people would be doing it.

i have stock with resonator hacked out. i like it. gonna get a new muffler soon. stock and put a tip on. should soun even better w/o the exhaust being spilt into 2 tips

Just took a look at those part numbers. I'll ask you since you have one....these are the straight thru perforated cores correct? Not the louvers sticking into the exhaust stream?

Do the pacesetter monza exhausts really sound that bad? I was going to get one because they are so damn cheap... $200 can't beat that... I was going to get a non-coated pacesetter header until a better deal came along too... how bad do they sound exactly? How would it sound with magnaflow hi-flow cat and rksport header on a 2.4?

That is correct, no louvers or anything. They are all straight-through 2.25" Inlet/Outlet and 2.25" cores.

The Monza system sounds horrible. I too bought it a long time ago because of the fact that it was so damn cheap. But here on Planet Earth, you only get out of things what you put into them. You go cheap on the exhaust system, you get exactly that... a cheap exhaust system. I've said it many times, and I'll say it again... in order to get my Pacesetter system to sound even half-decent, I've had to modify it beyond recognition with a 25" glasspack, new muffler, and new collector gasket that doesn't leak like the one Pacesetter includes with the kit. It's raspy, even when the engine has warmed up, and even by itself (no other exhaust mods), tinny, very poor higher-pitched tone, and other exhaust additions like my DC Sports header made it horribly raspy. If you were to combine this system with a header and a high-flow cat. like you suggested, you'd probably shoot yourself in the face because of how terrible it sounds.

Sound is not my only gripe... the overall quality of the unit, its integrity, durability, fitment, and style of hangers are some more things that are wrong with it. Basibally the only good thing about the system is that it has mandrel-bent pipe... but you could get that anywhere.

Don't be afraid of the Pacesetter header though. They are great. I'm biased towards coated headers, so if you dig up the extra cash, maybe consider the Armor Coated header instead of the painted.
