Never experienced the WS II, but from what I hear, it's a good option as well.. plus it looks good.

They sound great, not loud if at all. Nice low and deep tone. This would be a great option if you don't want loud and obnoxious.

I have the ultra silent resonator and hi flow cat, both also from Vibrant (2.5"). It sounds great. I'll have to try and get some video clips. A lot of people have been interested.

The resonator helps silence the exhaust system. Refer to the image below:





I will "rename" the parts to terms more often used here.

Front pipe = Headers or downpipe for turbo'd vehicles
Catalytic converter
Middle silencer = Resonator
Tailpipe = Muffler
