1148 Vibrant muffler sound?
Hello I own an infiniti i35 and am wanting a a nice infiniti g35 sounding exhaust ( a growl and purr) not a ricer loud sound... so I'm wondering how nice would just a 1148 vibrant muffler sound? Will I have to delete the resonator ?

I have the Vibrant Stealth Muffler #1148 as well as the resonator deleted, (running just a straight pipe from the Cat to the axle back ... the is my video sound clip

(It was late in Nov and cold out that day which why you see all the exhaust smoke)

@Ghost_54 - you are running a test pipe!? You don't end up smelling like gasoline driving with the windows down in the summer?

That's your exhaust ?? I keep listening to that as well as another but both resonators are deleted. Sounds very good!! I'll just put the muffler on and then possibly delete the resonators... Is your straight pipe from cat to axle stainless? Thankyou

Yes my straight pipe section is from the OEM Cat to the section that goes over the rear axle and then the 1148 Vibrant muffler is welded into place
