I love them. Altough it does sound very hollow and smells a little but i got used to it already. Power is there and everywhere. So far the best bolt on i installed. I wonder if I could get rid of that thin can sound with an aftermarket exhaust, without introducing any drone to it, cause that I hate more then rasp. Im thinking tanabe but i dont know. I had the ATLP base but had to sell it since i could not drive with all that drone...

I could be wrong, and hopefully I am, but I think a resonator can only affect sound downstream of it. If the noise is actually coming from under hood that leaves us out of luck for noise removal.

should have went with the HFC's.



But :aheminamanlyvoice: I kinda like the smell of the fumes and HOPEFULLY a resonator will work.

BUT WAIT, did you see that thread with all RV6 products. no rasp.....im drunk right now, so I wont be able to find it.
Please help. I know that you saw it, because I did. was it morrrrrriseeeeey? I dont know. but you need to check it out, asap.
it could solve all our problems.
RV6 needs to sell the exhaust pipes. I would buy it.
too bad he stopped production on it, cuz i would def. buy it. it would solve all our problems because that guy with all RV6 products had no rasp. please find that thread as i am inable to do it. is inable a word?
I will call richie later today and ask if this is the answer to our prayers.
the end.

My buddy with the WRX STi wanted to hear my exhaust now that I'm catless. With the door open and my head sticking out the rasp sounded more like it was from the back of the car, not underhood. I'll have to see about getting a larger resonator installed and see if that cures me.

i have my pcd's but cars in body shop new bumpers lip and paint putting them on when i get it in a week or so but had a question i keep hearing about this mythacal resonator that takes the rasp away but where do you get it and how much does it cost? i looked on the RV6 website and found nothing... also does it replace our stock resonator or just go ininline somewhere also one more thing about it does it take away any hp by adding it? hopefully someone can answer these questions & thanks in advance...

This thread titled Taming the Beast....PCD Rasp discusses the resonators. It also has videos so you can hear how the resonator makes a huge difference.

I have no rasp with my Tsudo exhaust, comes with a resonator on it already. I did end up adding a high flow cat because it smells like crap. Just add the 3rd cat, will take maybe 2-5 hp which you will never feel and you will have no rasp and no smell.

took the words rite out of my mouth lol
and as for the magnaflow yea you replace the stock one you dont add it to the exhaust if your doing just the res and a mid-muffler delete it sounds amazing not extremley loud but sounds good hopefully the rasp goes away because with my new set-up its sexy untill you hear the rasp i hate that
