Resonator Options

[Starcraftjunkie]

So it looks like the previous owner took out the resonator and both cats. With the 3.5" dual tip magnaflow exhaust, it get fairly loud and a little be raspy >3k. Any suggestions for a decent resonator?
I should try to find one that's 2.25 in/out, right? Engine is stock 5sfe, so I suppose more back pressure is better.

Is there anything to be gained by getting a hi-flow one? thx for the help.

lol I was wondering when this post would come up....

your exhaust is a tiny bit loud, but mine is super quiet (i think my cat is plugged though). i dunno what you should do? maybe see if someone's selling a factory one from here or something, i dunno?

You can try going to the summit racing website and order a Magnaflow resonator muffler and a Magnaflow catalytic converter. You can browse through to see what length and inlet/outlet size you need for the resonator as well as the converter. It will tone down your exhaust a bit and get rid of your raspy sound from your rear muffler. It helped alot for my celica

Still waiting for someone who can offer me more specifics like the piping and type I should be looking for.

I just got on at the muffler place.. I took them a Magnaflow muffler, and asked for a 2 1/4" cat back exhaust with a resonator inline.. done for $120 Love the sound.. Nice and deep but not overly loud.

I'm using a 2.5" custom catback exhaust with magnaflow catalytic converter, magnaflow resonator and a megan racing n1 muffler. The exhaust sounds awesome Since your probably going n/a with your car, preferred exhaust pipe size should be from 2.25"-2.5" You'll be satisfied with a pipe size slightly bigger than stock.
