i think the resonator might be part of the popping, and rasp, ill have to try and experiment this summer

my buddy has a g6 with a 3500 in it, which will sound similar, but his sounds kinda bad imo


Well, how I see it is is this... you wont be able to turn your v-6 into a v-8. you can throw a lot of stuff on it, but the 2 extra cylinders I have just make that much better sound.

Backfires typically are caused by unburned gas in the exhaust system, mainly the headers, being ignited by the amount of heat in the exhaust. With that being said, you can tune the car to not "pop" (or be less likely to) with the air/fuel ratio and other engine mods. Be careful though, as you mod the more fuel you'll need goes up. see the problem here?


Don't worry about the backfiring sound from the exhuast, its just how it does it. You can try the resonator to see if that helps at all by leaving it in, or throw a cherry bomb or glass pack in its place.

as for the grille. Can you remove the chevy symbol and put the original monte calr emblem on the grille. Im talking about the knight emblem from the 80's monte. Which imo looks way better than that ugly stock one on the 6th gen montes

In order to do that, you'd have to shave off the two pegs on the knights crest emblem (mine got accidently shaved off during my removal). It might not fit entirely and there me be overlay on the sides from the flat perition where the Chevy symblol lies. But it's sure worth a try.

i dont wanna use more gas =p, but is that correct, the resonator will help most rasp? and what would a glass pack or cherry bomb do in its place?

Yes, the Chevy bowtie can be removed, it's just a decal. But there is a flat portion were a decal must be placed. Some have used the SS badge, but it's not quite the perfect size...
