Removing Resonator.

I would like to give my car that low mean growl but I am not the best modder out there and I would like to know if that is the source of that low beefy sound. So what would be the best way to get the low rumble?

Thanks guys!

Re: Removing Resonator.

Low Beefy Rumble? Sorry to say it, but its pretty much impossible to make a GTP sound like a chevy small block v8.

Probably the only way to drastically change the sound is to switch out the camshaft. There's a website floating around of GTP exhause sounds you can listen to, and the website lists the MODs each driver had to do to achieve sound.

Do a search, you'll find it.

Removing the cat or resonator will add more of a raspy drone to the car, and it sounds like crap. Grand Prixs just inherently do not sound that great. All you can really due is remove the resonator and install a glasspack and than install a decent set of muffers(flomaster 40 or 50 or even hookers), you could even install catback if so inclined. However, out of current catback selection, I was only impressed with the Borla solution... little pricey though.

Get some Borla XS Pro mufflers. They sound good.
