hey guys what resonator would you guys suggest so my tsx doesnt sound like a lawn mowing civic? going 2.5 piping

 

vibrant ultra quiet resonator

 

funny thing before anyone commented i just bought that one haha you think itll make everything silent though im concerned for that

 

Depending on what muffler(s) you plan on using.. If you plan on leaving the pre-cat and second cat alone then with most decent aftermarket mufflers it shouldn't be bad just deeper and louder. The factory cat-back is pretty free flowing already. Where you really start to get rasp is when you start taking out cats before the cat-back. If you want a cleaner sounding cat-back a resonator is a step towards the right direction and vibrant being a good choice of one. Just stay away from the cheap ebay mufflers a lot more r&d gets done on products coming from larger reputable companies so your bet is usually safer with those

 

ah i have magnaflows 14829 already installed i was planning on doing 2.5 from the cat to the Y pipe then from the Y to my magnas a 2.25 or something thats what the guy at the shop recommended me to do

 

It should sound similar to this...

 

Resonator...

 

No resonator...

 

You hear the importance of what a resonator makes to a fabricated exhaust now?? ����

 

Holy ish... I want this... www.youtube.com/embed/K7jGYnhbQQU?

 

I want it

 

Lmao I watched this video too cuz it's recommended like crazy for custom exhaust search on YouTube lolol. I will admit it seems pretty legit and open or close it sounded very clean for an n1 style on a turbo h4.. Coming from a previous scooby owner I give it a thumbs up for looks and sound.. Dunno if it had a custom downpipe from the turbo back on it though.. That would be a true test!! 😉

 

I bet you could set that up where the resonator would be, and then just have it be pipes from there back, no need for back mufflers really....

hmm....

 

Only problem I see with that is the exit side being overzized. That tip is prob 4-5 inches with more than likely 3 inch entry in the back. Unless u wanted to run 4-5 inch piping from the exit end lol 😱

 

Hmmmm this muffler would be perfect with a *gasp* single out exhaust mod. This muffler is looking better and better. Damn Optimus lol your a genius! See!! your opinion does matter lmao

 

4 inch should be fine on the exit I would think.

I agree though this would be perfect with a single pipe exhaust. Or even put this muffler in the middle and split out to two pipes going out the back.

 

Duuuuude if you go on their website they make all diff styles of the varex muffler.. There are a few perfect for Optimus' idea where it's 3" inlet and outlets where he could mount it where the resonator would sit.. I think 4 inch would be overkill lol.. Maybe if we had turbo diesel super duties

 

I think going from 3in straight through (almost no back pressure) to that valve totally choking the exhaust off will really mess up the air fuel ratio, it will kill the turbo spool up for sure, as long as you didn't get into the throttle to much with it closed should be ok, adjustable sound level would be awesome for sure

 

thats so dope !!! but having duals and buying two of those would cost just about as much as a whole catback

 

btw do you guys know how i can add a picture under my username its getting me upset i dont have a cool picture

 

I agree with what you are saying Utah, what I am thinking is when I am cruising through my subdivision, or dropping kids off at school, have it closed. Then when I go to get on the highway, open it up.

Obviously, I wouldn't be opening the engine up when the exhaust is closed off... but that could be an awesome fix, getting the 3" that I want, and a quiet exhaust when I need it.

 

Also, looking at it, they have a kit that will wide open the exhaust when you reach a certain RPM.... oh, that is cool.... have it go wide open at like 3300 rpm...

And apparently the butterfly doesn't have to be totally open, or totally closed, it can act like a throttle, and be part open, which they didn't show in the video.... but they should have.

Can axion get this?

 

I found a cheaper alternative to the varex
