Exhaust Resonator
I'm wondering which exhast resonator to go with, i'm getting a custom exhaust put in and i dont know which one to go with. I'm lookin for a nice low deep sound, nothin like a civic.

well it depends on what exhaust you go with. you dont want to change your resonator till you know what mufflers your going with

the ones that have done custom exhaust have gone with the 18 to 22 inch resonator

if u installed the 18 resonator itll sound louder than if u had the 22...i dont have any resonators on mine n i havent gotten tired of the sound yet...but to play it safe n getting the sound u want...i would suggest u not to install the resonator yet...get ur custom done w/o the resonator...see if u like it...if its too loud...then install 1...kuz if u install the resonator 1st u will wonder what itll sound like w/o it...

if i dont get it istallled, there would be strait pipe just going through right?
and if i dont get it installed right now, can i (myself) install it later on or would i have to have a pro do it?
do you have a vid of a driveby wit your car? i already heard the startup and revving.

yea see, thats the only problem, it'll cost more if i dont get the resonator and then decide to put it on, and im not plannin on bringing my car back to the place to do that
so i think im gonna go with a resonator
now with magnaflow, is it only between 18-22?

it's not bad....i like it...
but the interior resonance can be annoying to passengers.

OR if you want it louder you can make some loud tip inserts (as i call my little creation) and make it louder in a matter of seconds!

how would i go about getting larger diameter piping? juss tell the mechanics when they install my exhausts? if so, what is the normal stock size and how much wider should i make it? i think imma go for the 14".
