(supercharger, turbocharger, NOX)
an upgraded exhaust can help release some power.

However the stock SVX exhaust is very efficient and well designed.

Untill the factory resonator starts to BUZZ!
Thanks!

I am fairly happy with the resonator and muffler. It's very quiet, which increases comfort. When I open the throttle I, and those around me, hear the engine sound rather than hollow exhaust bellowing. This means a lot in terms of "prestige" around here. Every kid on the block has a modified exhaust but it's very little impressing and somewhat comical: You can hear it's just an expensive exhaust system on a 112hp 4 pot family affair.

Possibly, I could enjoy a little more bass on low RPMidle and enhance the "racyness" of high RPM. I think the quality of the tone right now is quite good, so I'm not sure if it's worth the money? For sound tuning, I assume the important bits are resonator and muffler?
