hey, im goin for a 2.5 kteller exhaust mated to a vibrant straight through muffler (performance section). a few questions for you:

did you have the resonator installed or not?
application?
n/a or turbo?
and how was the sound? bearable? highway drones? set off alarms? idle, throaty, deep, etc. thanks a lot! i dont wanna offend everyone with a loud *** exhaust

Everyone who has installed an exhaust, with upgraded piping, without a resonator, always complained about it being way too loud.

I made the mistake of taking mine off dont...it gets pretty annoying around 3k rpms almost like a screaming sound Im gona put the resonator back on soon

resonator doesnt really do much in the way of turbo exhaust gas flow does it?

another 1 here. I got 2 on mine. Its nice and quiet. i hope it will be silent with my turbo on!

i know, since the turbo uses the exhaust gases... it "deadens" the sound. thats why im asking in the first place... will the note be BEARABLE before i go turbo. seeing as how the consensus is no, then im asking if the resonator hurts performance

i dont have a res and my exhaust sounds good once i get up to operating temps, before that it is a bit raspy. i have stock d15b7 header, bseries cat with my flange on it, 2.25" piping, oem type R muffler

On my old car I had one. Sounded very good.

No resonator = bumble bee
