Resonators

[RadRacer]

Who all is running a resonator on their system? What kind? The bigger the diameter, the better it would be, right? For instance, a 4.25" diameter resonator would sound better than a 3.5" diameter? Would a 4.25" even fit under out cars with no problems on a 3" exhaust? The resonator is 11" long

Re: Resonators

well, I'm tryin to tone my down abit, but mostly get rid of alot of the rasp. Tryin to decide between a resonator and a hi-flow cat; resonator will probably flow better, but cat will probably work better for what I want.

Re: Resonators

yeah you need to go with a high flow cat.

res. didn't really do much for rasp.

Re: Resonators

Well, I got my exhaust fixed today, and after looking under my car, I don't think I'm getting either :P. My "custom" S-pipe has no room for either one, and I don't want to pay to get a new S-pipe as well. O well, I can live with my current set-up.

Just have a resonator welded into the i-pipe...

Kristen, I got rid of my flowmaster resonator too. That didn't do much for the rasp. However, many straight through resonators are more effective at controlling rasp while keeping a throaty sound.

Re: Resonators

You won't need a resonator if you get a good sounding muffler that does not rasp, like the 3" Summit Turbo muffler, no rasp to 6000 rpms. And if you want more sound you can do like I'm doing 3" cutout before the muffler.

Re: Resonators

I have a Cherry Bomb Vortex muffler. It sounds real mean, but it rasps more than I want.

ive heard cutouts on a v6 camaro.... didnt sound that great, but it gives you a couple extra ponies at the track

Do you have a 3in setup? what about a slp resonator.......I've heard it works wonders on those loudmouths on the v6s.

Ya it's 3". I didn't really look at the SLP resonators; I found a resonator on eBay that's 16" long, and I think it might be too long. The SLP ones are 18.25", so they're even longer. Not to mention they cost more :P

Re: Resonators

what about moroso? they say there 12 inches installed. but there also expensive... i guess its either ebay or nothing hahah, is the rasp that bad?
