I was told that the resonator hangs VERY low on this system, is this true? How low is it exactly? Do you guys scrape it up even on stock height? What about those that have dropped ur car an inch or two? Any info appreciated. Thx.

 

It's not that the resonator hangs low, it's that it is quite a bit bigger than the stock b-pipe resonator. I have stock suspension and I've only barely scraped it once (while trying to 3 point turn on some uneven, unpaved, gravel road on a hill ). I've never had any problems on the street with it.

 

i had the twinloop on stock susp.
never scraped it and this was in NYC

tho it does hang low

 

I think that in almost a year of ownership Ive scrapped once. And I live in the crappy roads of the North East and NYC

 

I have a good sized dent in my resonator that was a result of carrying too much speed over a speed bump. From looking at it, it doesnt effect the performance (its not THAT big) however it sucks to see such a beautiful piece you shelled out big bucks for damaged like that. This was at stock height as well.

Just be careful with the speedbumps, and you should be fine.

 

I had never scraped it with 3/4" drop. If I didn't scrape it then, you shouldn't have any problems in stock height. Just be cautious when going over big bumps.

 

when i was dropped I'd scrape all the time, but i am now up to stock height and no problems at all... big resonator.

BTW OT: is it me or is my mugen exhaust getting louder and louder... it sounded like stock the first couple of weeks, but now after ~5 months it's pritty damn loud... :shrugs:

 

Could be the resonator material breaking loose.

 

is there any warranty on that? would you think? by the way.. I have a test pipe, i know that has alot to do with it.

 

There should be no warranty considering it is a race part.

Have you ever sprayed water in there? That definately ruins it.

 

Who cares if the resonator scrapes? Flatten that shiot with a hammer and yer good to go. I grind mine every day.

 

-never, but i figured it wouldn't be covered... worth a shot

-when I was dropped scraped everyday aswell, but not too bad...

 

how much of a drop did u roll around with

 

I scape it from time to time... But it doesn't have any dents in it.

This should give you some perspective (~1 inch drop) Notice that the Spoon header has simular ground clearance.
