I just put the resonator back to my car and sounds very deep and no more fart and charge me $150. So if you have the limit budget and I suggest just remove the muffler instead of spending a thousand dollars to buy a new exhaust system.
Does removing the muffler effect any thing to the car. I don’t know anything about removing muffler

I will put one of the item back between muffler and resonator. If the sound not good I will buy Invidia R400 or Q300.
You should get a ktuner first or You'll just be another ricer sounding like you're going 80mph but going 20

Not sure how the KTuner plays into this?

For me, I don't wanna mess up my car, so I will not use the KTuner.
But a straight pipe does mess up the car makes it sound like garbage and it's still slow...idk maybe I'm a old man (28)

Well it's one of the few things that actually make the car go faster and drive better with the revhang delete...i just think it would be a better use of 400-500$ than an invidia exhaust on a 2.0..suspension would also be a better investment..id just muffler swap and call it a day for sound wise

Really? A lot of people said the KTuner will mess up the ETC, so I am still thinking about it. I just removed the muffler and sounds good right now. Does KTuner change a lot?

I have a 2.0 that is ktuned. It doesn’t mess up your engine, it improves it! I really believe that should be the first upgrade to a 2.0. Here is a dyno sheet of a 2.0, the red is stock and yellow is ktuned. Everything else is stock on this engine

I used to have no resonator or muffler on my 2.0 but I since put only the resonator back on and it's not half bad, I have videos of the muffler delete and with resonator and muffler delete too.

Ktuned and Ktuner are totally different companies.

You don’t need a tune just because you change your exhaust... but also, a resonator and muffler delete sounds like ass on this car. :dunno:

I didn’t know it was two different things. But I have a ktuner. And I’m actually deleting the muffler and resonator but I’m installing a flowmaster dbx muffler in the spot where the resonator used to be. Many people have done this and it has had good results

Yup, putting a third party muffler or resonator of some sort will sound much better than straight piping it

Yeah this is my muffler I got. Fits right where the resonator is. Then I’m getting duals out the back
