Hey everyone, new to the site in posting, couldnt find a thread of what im looking for, its probably there but cant find it lol

anyways, im running a 4.6L 2010 fx2 and went to get my exhaust done. i got a cat back exhaust, with a single straight pipe to the muffler, and then my dual exhaust. i love the way it looks, and sounds, my only problem is the cabin noise is wayyyyy to loud when im driving, and when im on my way to work it kills me.

I have only had this exhaust for 3 days, and called the shop, he said he can put in a resonator and will dramatically dampen the cabin noise, and keep the outside noise. he also suggested i wait a month to let the carbon build up inside and it will dampen, because its all brand new pipe.

any suggestions? should i wait it out, or just go and stick a resonator in

thanks!

 

Sounds like you got a flowmaster or something similar. Those drone like crazy. You might want to think about swapping out for a muffler that wont drone as much. A resonator will also help, but you will still have some noticeable drone. You could also try putting some acoustic foam under the carpet to soak up the noise, that will help out also.

 

i got a solo performance muffler put in. and i do like the exhaust sound. I was told that the resonator would dampen the drone and keep the exhaust sound, where a larger muffler would dampen drone and dampen exhaust sound
