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.

 

+1 for resonator

+2

 

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?

 

up

 

from my experiences with my friends turbo cars there exhaust arent loud at all compared to na exhaust even open down pipe there turbo cars arent that loud.

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
