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.

 

CompTech

 

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

 

magnaflows

 

im also ordering magnaflows tommoroo as a matter of fact, im also deciding which resonator to go with it since my stock is already off , maybe the 14"?

 

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

 

whats the difference?

 

bump

 

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.

 

nah...sorry bro...i crashed it b4 i had a chance to record a drive by...*cocks glock*...lol...j/k...yea i will when i get it back tho...u can bet on it...im actually gona do a short vid project...but ill have some1 up a drive up vid b4...anyways...yes on the striaght pipe n no on doing it urself...it has to b welded...

 

i had ppl saying w/o resonators. the magnaflows will sound like a civic rice rocket

 

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?

 

nothing less than 18".
i have a 14" ...and it's loud.

 

have u ever seen fsstty's vid clip on his comptechs? is it MUCH louder than that with 14"s? i am def gonna order the exhausts tommoroo,, but i cant seem to make up my mind on the resonators.

Thanks

 

u can always add.
most use a 18 - 22 in place of the stock resonator.
and nothing (except a support bracket)..in place of the premuffler.

 

and if u get larger diameter piping..
which u should....it is IS louder than fsttyyymmmsss exhaust.

 

i have a 14 inch res....lots of resonance around 2.2k to 3.0 k rpm.
it's not bad....i like it...
but the interior resonance can be annoying to passengers.

 

and that my friend is why the comptechs RULE!!! if your driving somewhere you can add the quiet tip inserts in a matter of seconds and reduce the resonance by over half!

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".

 

just tell them you want 2 1/2 inch pipe

 

thnx
