Resonator

[J. Henley 17]

So I've got my Magnaflow on...sounds good, but not quite as low as I'd like when the revs climb. Are there any good resonators I could use? I'm getting my cat replaced next week, so that's pretty much all of the funding I have left, but if a good resonator can be had at a decent price, I might be able to squeeze that in, unless it isn't recommended.

[Question]

Did you buy a Magnaflow catback or what?

[J. Henley 17]

I didn't buy the kit, too expensive, just the muffler.

I guess you could put a resonator somewhere before it, it would help quiet it down a bit. Are you wanting us to tell you a specific brand?

good luck fitting one under the car and not having it rattle/bump. my flowmaster catback came with a square resonator that comes off the side of the I pipe into a little compartment on the underside of the car. i think its useless honestly and it creates rattling issues. i think i may just cut it out. bad news is that rasp isnt going to go anywhere, most everyones setup has rasp and those who dont, have a setup that was blessed.

Actually, the volume is perfect, if not just a little bit too quiet, so I probably shouldn't do it? I'm not wanting it for that, I just want to deepen the tone a little more.

[Question]

Theres really not THAT much you can do about rasp, other then getting a new muffler. Our cars are pretty much ALWAYS going to have rasp.

Dont the bullet mufflers help the rasp some?

[vanbibber]

yes they help out a little bit but you cant really get rid of it. the v6 will always have at least a little rasp no matter what.

bullet mufflers???

it actually does work. if your having rattling issues its most likely because of the install.

back on topic. you could easily fit a resonator in your i pipe. but thats not your problem, the stock piping is. the smaller the piping the higher the pitch will be. stock is 2 1/4, most people go for 2 1/2 or 3in, you can probably get piping off of a v8 there stock piping is like 2 5/8 or something odd like that.

I think I'm gonna wait about a year and see if I'll be in the financial place to swap an LS1 or buy a Trans-Am. I didn't have them replace all of the piping because they only did crush bends... crappy place.

If it rattled, couldn't I just use some header wrap?

[articacid]

it depends why its rattling. if it is rattling becuz of something under the car then yeah you could just stick something in between it and what it is rattling on.
