    Got a Delta 40 Series with 3SX DP, no cat & factory resonator and I love the sound even though the drone is kinda loud on long road trips. I'm considering installing a high flow cat to take the edge off just a little but it's not that bad.

    P.S. I do love how they sound on a v8 though!

    Does something like this exsist? From the OP and others that have posted over the years I think this option does not exsist. If it does exsist what is it exactly I would like to know.
    this is why i will run a cat on my next setup. i'll sacrifice some power for some silence. i've got so much headroom in this build that i could probably make 50% more power if i "took the training wheels off". having a 500whp 3/s that sounds as quiet as a prius would just be.....awesome.

    There are a number of stock cars these days that are putting down numbers around 500 HP that are not very loud on the exhaust. SO it is possible to do. Just the option I think has not made it to the 3s yet mostly because of demand I assume. You and I are maybe the only people that want this option.

    Rolling at low speeds in first gear you can hear my turbos through the exhaust from great distances.

    Stillen DP and Borla cat back. And it's loud.
    I'm going to try a Magnaflow resonator on the big pipe, see if it mellows out any.
    I'll prolly have to replace the Borla cans as well to get it anywhere near quiet.

    Don't know if you're NA or TT - probably a difference in the two.

    I had Stillen/Borla, gutted rear pre-cat for my VR-4 and the drone/loudness sucked. I now have Tanabe Medallion cat-back and it sounds good, at idle. I've yet to drive/test with this new setup. However, if it turns out that it also is too loud I've got a Tanabe DP knock-off with a Radomn High flow on standby to replace the Stillen, with hope that will tone it down a bit.
