I thinking about getting a 2.5 mild kteller cat back to replace my current Apexi N1 cat back on my Civic/GSR. I was just curious as to the benifits of getting one with a resonator opposed to getting one without. Im more concerned about performance, and not concerned with the sound. What set up would better suit me?.

 

you not going to notice a difference with the resonator. I would recommend getting, just because you don't really want the raspy sound.

 

The raspy noise is real bad if you drive on the street. Get the resonator.

 

ok i will get one, does the lenght matter in my case?

 

No not a whole lot, you have a lot of room.

That is a question for your girl to answer!!!!!!! lol j/k supposedly the length of the resonator helps with the noise level. longer = less noise

 

how good are those magnaflow oval mufflers

 

you will notice a differenc with lets say a 13 inch resonator. IT will be slower and much quieter. But if you want just straight up gains i would run without resonator. Oh yea the magnaflows are really nice. Dynomax makes some identical to the magnaflow, and theres a flowmaster thats quite the same also..

 

intresting

 

I can tell you first hand that if you run the 2.5" kteller with the Magnaflow oval muffler without a resonator or a converter its gonna be loud and raspy. I just installed one on my hatchback and noticed some really good gains but that thing is loud now haha. Good thing I dont drive it everyday.

You are not going to loose power with a Magnaflow resonator. I use them for all the kits I sell.

 

damn, well i already got it. im going to order a muffler for it friday with a silencer which i know wont do much but as long as it does somthing

Explain to me how the car will be slower with a resonator? Dont spread misinformation

 

from this topic on here and other places, it seems that everyone has their own different opinion.
