A) what's the resonator do?
B) Already running no cat.

This radio station was renamed Krenzy in honor of the last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul. The question is not when he's gonna stop, but who is gonna stop him.

It will quieten things down + give it a better tone.  You're not really going to get a "muscle car" sound from these cars. Both of my TGP's with different setups get pretty quiet at higher throttle levels. I'll have to record a new video of my naturally aspirated 3.1 for you, it has a nice rumble to it when driving normal, but you can tell it's a V6 as soon as you get on the gas. I have a 30series flowmaster(large case, three chamber) mounted where the cat used to be and I also have a dynomax bullet on it before the y-pipe. The bullet is pretty much acting as a resonator and quietening the exhaust. Before I just had the flowmaster and nothing else and the car was REALLY loud, you could literally hear it from over a mile away. After adding the bullet it cut down the sound probably about 40-50%...and it's still decently loud. :laugh: The NA 3.1's sound a little bit different since they have no turbo to muffle the sound.

Yeah I won't have a video...no video camera and my camera doesn't double as a video camera.

But it does take professional 10.2 megapixel pictures!

Dynomax Ultraflo FTW.  i think they might be the same as the Magnaflow but i'm not sure.  whatever you do, don't get a chambered muffler.

Someone should really put a section to this website titled exhaust sounds so people can post vids of the exhaust combos they have.  At least that is what we do in the mustang community this way people can hear a combo before they buy mufflers.  I would recommend some others but I don't know how they will sound with the muffling of the turbo.  I think right now I'm going to run a glass pack before the y pipe and then straight pipe from there.  Or i'm going to keep the stock exhaust and get an electric exhaust cuttout installed and run no exhaust during street races.....I mean at the track;)
