Hate my 3" thermal exhaust

[GearHead_1]

Just not sure the 2.5 would be much quieter pulling from the curb and start n stop kinda driving. At regular speed and freeway it’s great just hat 1st thru 5

Perception is always one's reality, but I surely haven't felt that my 2.5" system is obnoxious at any speed and in any way. I guess it's a little loud, when accelerating under an over pass, but always in what I considered a good way.

Thanks I reached out to him

Mike good to hear from you. "Exhaustfather" here LOL.

Yes, I was the development car for the AWE 3" exhaust. It's too loud! Just like Thermal. Lots of people don't realize drone is different than volume. Thermal and AWE don't drone but boy are they loud. Way louder than many desire on an SUV.

I added 2 Vibrant 1142 canister resonators
https://a.co/d/8zxxcYz after the downpipes. We welded into the mids where they would fit.It's tight around the bend on the pass side but it worked. Drivers side is good.

It's still a bit loud but has cleaned it up the sound quite a bit. I think the only solution to get it quieter would be to add more mufflers or completely redesign. Not worth it.

Happy to answer any more questions


Just remember the people pushing these exhausts on Facebook will tell you they aren't loud and that's a lie.

Yeah the 3 it’s really loud. It’s quiet when off the pedal and sounds great when your on it but it’s loud I’d be willing to trade my 3 inch for a 2.5 or it will be for sale soon. Has less than 50 miles on it and I powder coated the tips black and they look awesome.

FWIW, my 2.5 Thermal sounded great. Right up until I put down pipes on it. A tad annoying when just driving light to light. I’ve got a couple Vibrant 2.5” resonators I’m hoping to add soon. Hoping it takes it back down a notch.

I’m interested in your opinion of how much difference it makes I’m not sure it will help my 3” enough.
