Default resonator offerings

What would quiet my 3" Kteller better...a glasspack or one of those Vibrant Ultra-quiet resonators? (oval, not sure if we can stuff those under there)
Fitment will be on my hatch. I have a Magnaflow oval out back but its a little burned out I'm afraid. ****'s a little out of hand.
No cat..
Want to add something upstream and replace that one later.

Im lookin for the same thing lol. Ive also eye balled the Vibrant Ultra-quiet resonators.

I love the peace and quiet with my silencer Installed, but love the power of my 3" catback with 4" muffler tip even more

I havent tried yet, my catback has a single resonator, but I feel like anything straight through wont be able to muffle the sound much

Yeah I was leaning toward a Magnaflow glass pack. The three inch one I found is only 22 in. overall, gonna look a little more.
I just see those little oval resonators on Greddy systems, etc. and they make it so quiet, when I saw that Vibrant I thought I finally found something like what they use....

Yeah I had one of those black mufflers on my stock setup. Was actually really nice and quiet. I also had an electronic cutout so that probably saved the muffler from getting ruined over time.

You should be able to fit 2 bottle resonators in there and a full size through muffler in the back

ive tried the vibrant resonators and didnt really like them. i would up welding a magnaflow long cylindrical muffler in the pipe where a resonator would go. night and day difference in sound and volume.

I bought a walker bullet muffler to use as a resonator on mine. I hope it's not too loud whenever I get it together.

What size is the piping? Is that 3"?
Thanks for the pic.... I have often wondered about the dimensions of those but looking at the muffler by itself in an ad is diff. than seeing it welded in.
That's a different place to put it... I would've prolly welded it upstream, is there more room at the rear? I bet the sound is different too, depending.
