How effective is a resonator at reducing DB?

Postby FoxForceFive » Mon Feb 25, 2008 2:11 am

I have a really nice exhaust....twin tip stainless, but its a bit too loud and boomy for me....how effective is a resonator at quieting down an exhaust? Can anyone reccomend a particular type?

Hi Adam,

You would be surprised at how much difference a 12-15inch straight through reasonator in the midpipe will make!

Xforce have a good stainless one ,

Cheers,

Peter
