So I made my own exhaust on my GT. After the stock resonator i upped the diameter of the pipe to 2.25 then it goes into a long glasspack muffler then a downpipe just before the rear axle. I seem to be getting better gas mileage, so i want to keep my flow through design, but its so LOUD. I ordered 2 vibrant resonators I heard one is good and two is better and they are flow through. The question is....Should I build the system resonator-resonator-glasspack,
resonator-glasspack-resonator, glasspack-resonator-resonator, or just leave the glasspack out? |

i decided against getting a header for it. i heard it only helps at high revs and makes gas mileage worse. its stock until after the resonator except i deleted the second cat and my first cat might be slightly higher flow than the original. if i delete the stocker and put the vibrant there the size increase will be a little sooner (they dont even make a 2 inch one) i think ill take my stock resonator off, put the 2 vibrants on without the glass pack and see what happens. if its still too loud i can put the glass pack back on the end. i wonder if part of the problem is that the amount of pipe after the glasspack is like 6 inches. mabey they need more pipe behind them? i tried covering the exhaust halfway like a halfmoon at the end. not much difference in sound.
