I just got my new stainless exhaust system ( Falcon brand from VB )
installed on my SV and am mildly dissapointed. I replaced my old one
because it was annoyingly loud,had holes in it and was not proper.(
assuming this new one IS proper ). The new one sounds very sporty but
seems no quieter than the old, which had only one improper muffler
rather than a muffler and resonator. And the new one sets up a low
frequency vibration at 3300 rpms that could numb your butt if you hold
the rpms steady. It smooths out considerably at 4000-4100. I've never
driven another Alpine to know how it should sound or feel but does this
sound correct?
What is the purpose of the resonator? It looks like it would quiet
things but the name name implies otherwise.
Comments please. I'm disquieted with buyer's remorse.
