Can someone explain why it's louder?
#9
Hmm, I forgot to see if there is a resonator. Should be. It's usually located in the middle to front area right? Yeah, from my pictures u can't see it since it cuts off around the middle. I'll have to check it again...with all the rain lately and no jack stand it's a PITA to get under there and have a good look.

i also thought this might be what it is

It's still a single exhaust system but when it comes out of the muffler, it splits into a dual exhaust.
Not a true dual exhaust but the more I think about it, I think that's what my car has. The only reason
why it looks much different is because my car is so small it has very little space underneath that even
the stock muffler has to be position sideways. So the previous owner actually did the dual exhaust from
the muffler, which explains why the 2nd pipe that goes to the right side of the car is coming out of the muffler
as well and NOT welded on to the original pipe BEFORE the muffler.

I wonder how much of a difference in noise this makes comparing a system that has a 2nd pipe welded BEFORE the muffler entrance vs a system that has a single muffler with 2 exhaust pipes coming out of it.

just another example: http://www.angieslist.com/files/dual_exhaust.jpg

I think it's the same idea as what i have? Picture my muffler in the center and then 2 pipes coming out of it.
The only difference is since mine has no space under the body, it has to stay in it's regular location but 2 pipes
are still coming out of my muffler. Hmm.
Be the change you want to see in this world.
