Exhaust Burble

I was wondering if there was any way to get the exhaust to burble more, like the S. I have a non-resonated cat-back. Its nice and i love the sound but i would like some more of the burble.

and one have ideas?? and would it make worse gas milage/less hp?

Many of the aftermarket cat-backs produce burble. I have a magnaflow on my MC and it burbles like crazy...more and more as mileage racks up.

I wish I had a less expensive solution for you!

A few ?s for you. 1, are you happy with the Minspeed exhaust. 2, do you have the resonated or non resonated one? 3, and prolly most important, are you happy with the sound? I've heard good things about them, just looking for someone's own $.02.

1. I am very happy with it. It is so much lighter then the stock, its not even funny.

2. I have non-resonated, Pete, the owner, said it was the best sounding one he had heard. No one else had gotten the non-resonated.

3. I love the sound. It's not overly loud when on the highway, but when you step on it..... you know its there, especially around 4500+.

Do you have a stock intake? Going to a better panel filter or a cone filter will help with the burble a little. It will also make everything slightly louder.

YEABAYB, I love the way my Magnaflow burbles too. Like yours it just keeps getting better with the miles.

I have the Invidia Cat-back, and I notice when I leave it in gear and coast to a stop, I achieve more burbles with the AC on. Thats the only thing I can think of to help in the burbleology dept... Good luck
