I would actually consider buying that even though it's from ebay. It's something simple that has no moving parts, and all it does is quiet down the exhaust anyway. You can incorporate it with 2.5" piping from the cat-back and have a nice sounding exhaust. Even with a N/A engine, you'd gain a couple of horses too. The length of the resonator actually determines how much it quiets the exhaust and any muffler shop would know how to make any size work.

 

well my exhaust is quiet enough, i want it a LIL bit louder, hopefully this allows a lil more sound through than the stock suitcase haha

 

Long shot, but does anyone have a spare resonator? Can't find any on ecs... (I'm awd)

 

This is the thing though. If you get bigger piping and eliminate the stock resonator, then it might end up being too loud or raspy for your taste. The glass pack style resonator only quiets down the sound to a moderate level and allows for quicker exhaust flow than the stock one (that things a monster with many passages that slow down the flow). It really is a science between sound and performance like someone else mentioned earlier. It's your car though, but I just wanted to save you another disappointment if you were to visit the muffler shop again.

 

well its only 40 bux plus shipping then the cost of instal (another 30) so its not that bad... now if i was buying borla or some 400 dollar exhaust then yea i would be bummed haha

 

hey jsut wanted to let u guys know, i got rid of the resonator... and turbo'd the car, here is a sound clip on my youtube.. lemme know what u think

DELETED


i deleted this link and have added a second vid down below instead, hopefully u can hear it better

 

Yeah can't really hear it on the vid, but how do you like the sound now? Does it sound too raspy at higher RPMS?

 

ok here is a different vid... hope this works better

well i like the sound yes... as far as raspy.. couldnt tell u, i havent ever taken the car above 3500 rpm lol... one thing that does bother me, as soon as i get close to 3500... i hear a hone or whine type noise and it freaks me out... but it sounds great, nice low tone... while on the freeway, its just enough to hear it (if ur doing the speed limit) but not loud enough where i cant hear my music... so its a good investment i think

 

just fixed the problem... dont know if any of you tried to watch it yet but there was an error in the vid, i reloaded it and it owrks fine now... anyways i know obnoxious (i think) wanted a sound vid... so there it is
