Exhaust Mods, M35 Stagea

[chad bob]

I'd like to work on the only fault i can find with my VQ30DD powered M35 Stag. It's just too damn quiet!

All of my previous cars have had factory exhaust systems that let some rumble and snap crackle pop filter into the cabin, this made them easy and fun to drive. The Stag just 'wooshes' along with nothing but the tire noise to allow me to judge the road speed without a glance at the tacho.

What I'd like to do is moddify the exhaust system so that I can at the very least hear some of that gorgeous rumble that I can faintly detect on take off.

I'm not out to wake the neighbors nor change the exhaust tips, I just want to hear my motor!

Now I was wondering if anyone has replaced the back silencer with anything less muffled? Does this allow more rumble to be heard or does it just cause droning? I was trying to avoid having to replace that massive 'coffin' muffler mid way down the exhaust line but if a back muffler swap causes droning then I may have to attack it's fat ass.
