Magnaflow resonated x-pipe
I recently installed the Flowmaster American Thunder axle back on my 2018 V6. There is no drone or rasp, and I like the tone. Only thing I wish is that it was a tad louder. Would the Magnaflow resonated x-pipe make the car louder or quieter? I've been doing some research, and it seems to smooth out some rasp and whatnot, but I can't really find info stating if it's louder or quieter than the stock resonator on a 6th gen V6. If I did this I'm looking at replacing the resonator only...not the secondary cats or anything else.

On my car that was straight pipe it was louder but still the same amount of drone from a straight pipe system. High RPMs you will hear raspy noises.

Are you saying you had a muffler delete (aka: straight pipes) and with the Magnaflow resonated x-pipe it was louder than than with the stock resonator?

Yeah (I plan on getting an MBRP exhaust in the future) the cold start was slightly louder but the high RPMs gave it those raspy exhaust sounds and they sound beautiful <3

Apparently my Flowmaster axle back has the built in Helmholtz design similar to the MBRP, but it's all enclosed the resonated box. If you run the Magnaflow resonated x-pipe with the MBRP I'll be very curious how it sounds, since it should sound similar with my Flowmaster |

So when you did the Magnaflow resonated x-pipe that's all you changed at that time that you're describing? No secondary cats or anything else at all?

-Stock exhaust (embarrassingly quiet) -Borla Atak axle back (noticeably louder and deeper. Turned out not to be enough) -Secondary Cat delete (more noticeable loudness on WOT or heavier throttle. Added more rasp that I’m not a huuuuge fan of but it wasn’t a deal breaker) -Supercharger (not exhaust, I know, but it added a good bit of sound when I get on it) -MF X Pipe (took away most, if not all, rasp. Took away higher pitched sounds and I think that’s where the “sounds deeper” comments come from. But it didn’t increase depth in my opinion. I guess addition by subtraction. Regardless, it made the whole system quieter which was no bueno) -MBRP SS cat back race exhaust (louder than ****. The quad tips look dope. Sounds extra crazy with the supercharger)
