if you got some kind or resonator it should sound okay. i got a d16y7 (till i put my y8 in) and i got a effin 4" can on my catback exhaust and its pretty loud but its the low type of loud. i love it except for the bad fitment since its an ebay kit :( it also sets off car alarms at 4-5k. lol oh and silencers are a joke. they dont do much for the sound imo but my exhaust cheap so i could be wrong.

Just for reference

You can hear mine from approx. 2.5 miles when i get on it, and i don't think it's TOO loud. Just loud. It's not raspy though... where as I'm sure yours has a decent amount of rasp to it. If it's raspy (bee hive effect) then shut that thing up! lol

that 4" tip is going to make it really really loud. i would invest in some steel wool from family dollar and pack the muffler full with it

Real question is, do you really need a 3-4" tip? It's a z6.

I have a 3'' pipe with no resonator, no cat... The pipe cuts off around mid chassis... total length is like 2ft from the downpipe... I have no problems with sound, unless I drive on the highway for a while... I think you should be alright with extra sound loud... Of course, my car doesn't make the raspy sound that yours would make :bluelol:

Dude just turn the volume down and it's quieter.

OP do that just turn that volume knob on your dash too and you should be straight.

basicly its like this, the only person that can tell you if its too loud is you. ( and from time to time the cops) but if you like it, leave it, if you dont, get something else.

i have a D15B8 running 2 inch with 2 short resinators and a IS300 muffler, it sounds deep, no rasp, and at 3200 up under WOT it sounds like its going to shake its nuts in a corvets face, lol but it still cant even get out of its own way,

its all about preception, i like low deep sounds for around town, if im beating on it i dont really care how it sounds ( when i do my B swap its a differant story)


just have fun with it

It's raspy because the diameter of the piping is too large for the current motor output.
