I just picked some up, got one installed on my car, i put a y-pipe on at it was just too loud with a free flow muffler on the back, it sounded great at idle and horrible once you broke 4K so put the resonator on, and this thing sounds wonderful, still has a low deep growl at idle, but no civicy sound, really it sounds like a V8, so if anyone wants one of these wonderful resonators please let me know, they run about $30 with tax, so just add shipping and i will get you one, these will not reduce the flow of the exhaust they are about 2.75inch inlet and outlet, so they will fit right over your 2.5 in b-pipe, and it is about a foot and 1/2 long, shoot me an email, and for those coming to the KY meet on the 13th you will hear for yourself


Thanks

i'm still confused as to why a stock catback with a dual-tip y2k muffler isn't good enough......then no aftermarket resonator is needed.....

i can't imagine that much real world power being worth the noise.....

Some just like the bigger tipped aftermarket look. Probably as simple as that alone.

what exactly do you mean, of course the setup you have should be quiet, but I was just saying that if anyone with a loud exhaust that wants to quiet it down a little, not a lot, and get rid of some of the raspy sound of it, this is the perfect thing, it costs about 10 to get welded on, made a world of difference to me

I understand, it's just that some people think there's 100 ponies waiting for them if they get rid of the entire exhaust and sound like a motorcycle with a hole in its muffler when a closer to stock setup would be just as effective and a helluva lot quieter.


Personally with your setup I would lose the dual tips and go to 2 single tips. That would be much more appropriate for a sedan that doesn't have M5 on it and a little more subtle so those in the know would appreciate it more......

I think that is the first nice thing you have said to me here Bill, thanks, you are also the first one to see that i was trying for an M5 style with the dtm tips, but I like it enough for now, I see what yoursaying about the too big exhaust and that's not what i am going for, but I do think with the 2.5 inch from the headers back is very helpful for gains

I think someone just took over EvilBill's mind and went nice, nice on us.

Well, with all the Middle East crap, perhaps the apocolypse has warped my brain?












I was just curious since I'm an idiot when it comes to exhaust stuff.....

what is the brand of resonator and what does it looks like? i need to get something that will give me that deep deep droning sound at idle like the stang's.. i want a deep drone at low and not to be able to hear it at WOT.. any ideas?

all I know is that it's stainless steal there really is not a brand name or anything, it comes without packaging and all, that's why it is so cheap, but if you have the y-pipe and catback, i am sure you have the same sound i did, this is a really nice resonator, it looks clean, and makes all the higher RPM range smooth sounding, it is a glasspack, I don't know if that is a brand or not though?

The resonator makes for a good sound. There is a thread about Magnaflow mufflers; I have one. I also have the Courtesy B pipe with the resonator, and together they sound great. . It is a low burble, not harsh but purposeful. The deep mellowness gets V8 owners to perk up and pay attention.
