I have a question. I searched but didn't come up with much.
I have read a couple times how the ES tuning mufflers are very nice and have a nice tone and sound. I was just wondering what size piping you used and if you used resonators or not?
They are affordable and heard the sound was badass and was wondering what your guys set-ups were.

Thanks for any info or set-ups.

from experience...i have an estuning muffler (2.25 inlet /outlet). I got it from jhpusa for a good price. the plan was to get custom 2.25 piping, but after research realized mandrel bent piping is the only way to go. problem is that the only way to get it is to order it. most muffler shops dont have a mandrel bender. so after ordering my kteller bend kit for 215$. then i order my resonator. and had to take it to a shop and get it all welded up. in the end it cost me the same amount as most quality catbacks.

thats my story now...
-i love the sound its beautiful
-without a resonator it will sound like crap ( i have had custom piping with no resonator before )
-for performance mandrel piping is the only way to go
-2.25 piping is large enough for non-turbo unless you are building a beastly all motor car
-only having the muffler welded up to stock piping wont yield much performance (imo)
-if you dont have a hook up on welding or can weld yourself it will be the same price in the end if you want quality

es tuning muffler 90$
kteller mandrel bend kit 215$
vibrant resonator 45$
butt raping by shitty weld shop 150$
(lesson learned from but rape=priceless)

just my experience good luck any more questions i would e glad to help.

Hey thanks for the help. Exactly what I was looking for.
I just heard they had an awesome and unique sound so was looking into getting a possible set-up. Not that expensive IMO, well worth it.
Any more opinions or set-ups are appreciated.
