Ok I've gotta pick your collective brains a little and really hope someone can help me out... So I bought a set of Borla p/n 40842S (S-Type mufflers) that are basically what comes with the Borla S-Type Cat-Back exhaust system and installed them Friday. And now my car basically sounds like an old school hotrod with glass packs. I mean that muffler is more or less a glass pack style muffler only with 21st century technology. It actually doesn't sound much different than the 40 Series 2-chamber Flowmasters they replaced. But here's the deal and this is where I hope someone can help me: I am the second owner of this car. But I've owned it since 2007. And the only thing I haven't touched in the 13 years I've owned it is the exhaust system. I've been through the engine and still never altered the exhaust. Up until Friday, the car has had mid length Bassani headers through a Bassani X pipe and out the back through the Flowmaster mufflers. There have never been cats on this car in the 13 years I've owned it. There are no resonators on this car (did they come stock on these cars??). So I was under the impression that it was the mufflers only that gave the Borla cat back exhaust with the stinger muffler that signature exotic, raspy and crackling sound. And that clearly is not the case. What is missing??? All this to say...do the factory catalytic converters somehow play a significant role in that signature sound or is there another component missing from the factory exhaust like a resonator? I don't know and that is where I am hoping someone can get me pointed in the right direction. I want my car to sound like what a 2003 Cobra with the Borla Stinger S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust system should sound like. And not like a freakin truck with glasspacks
