Default Which resonator or cat?

Currently my exhaust is a bit too loud. Did a search and seems like most people are recommending a glasspack.

My setup is, 2.5" piping, megan header, megan test pipe, no resonator, es oval muffler. Would a resonator be enough to make it more stock sounding?

Do you have the Megan resonated test pipe? Yes a resonator will drastically reduce the sound of your exhaust. The longer the resonator, the greater the db reduction.

i have a B16A swap like everyone else but i got it cammed out with a whole new valvetrain and other small mods, my exhaust is a dc 4-1 header, 2 yonaka resonnators and a yonaka s pipe and muffler, it helps a little but my car is still loud as hell the best result would be to get the resonator and a smaller muffler like the noir, or ws or ws2 they are nice looking after market mufflers that i have used and liked with very pleasing results.

Hrmm.... I think i'm going to try a glasspack and/or maybe another test pipe with resonator. Maybe a new exhaust manifold.... I think the combo is just making it hella loud

the cat will definitely help a lot.
Get a Magnaflow High-Flow Direct-fit cat from summitracing.com.

Yah, I went in to get a resonator. It did the job very well. I went with a generic version at some random shop. Quick fix for now to avoid getting pulled over. Can't wait till I can buy another car so I put this one on blocks and work on it in my spare time.
