To add a resonator or not add a resonator, THAT is the question
heres the shibby...
recently installed 3" test pipe / SS kteller exhaust / muffler with a 2.5" downpipe. running roughly 7-9psi on a 60trim t3...not bad for a little bugger.
will putting a resonator make a noticiable loss in power? It is EXTREMELY loud..i thought i would be ok, i thought the turbo would quiet it down a little bit but the two hour drive up adn back made up my mind that it was too loud for me. i tried putting in the silencer and it helped a little, but still reverberated everything in the car... not to mention killed my spool up time.
just curious on everyones thoughts, if you know a place to pick them up somewhat inexpensive. on a few friends exhausts setups they'd run glasspacks (as resonators )from autozone for like $20 and they sounded pretty good, do those buggers come in a three inch or do i need something a little better?

Toss a nice long (24"+) stright-through bullet type muffler on there. They are only a couple inches bigger in diamter than the pipe, and they are drilled core for little to no restriction. It WILL make a good difference in volume.
I wouldn't run an Autozone glaspack, because I think those are louvered core.

Magnaflow universal fit round mufflers. They also carry Dynomax ones.
