Thread: Resonator length?

Remember also the thicker the more dampening of the sound your going to get. I upgraded to one of the skinny 5 inch rounds and it did not really change the exhaust tone the way I wanted it to, it now had a slight raspiness that I hate.

I plan on using a cat, as well as a regular style muffler so they should help keep things under control.

^^To much weight for me. Mine is side exit and strait through. No cats or other mufflers. YOu dont need all that muffling to be quiet.

It's the only car I have right now, so it's also my daily driver. Guess I'll just be old skool or something.

^My car is N/A and it is not side exit. That has something to do with it. That extra weight pass that cut off point likes to swing. I'll double check all my rear hangers though. I need to order the ones like BenFenner.

If your car is lowered and you drive the car on a daily or frequent basis, you may want to get less than 6" round resonator. I'd go w/4" at most from what I've read.

OK you guys are gonna do what your gonna do. But the front of my NX's lip is 3"s off the ground. I have scraped my Resonator ONCE. Just once.

ya, well, like I said for a daily driver I wouldn't do it. GL going over speed bumps

I get over them. The only thing that ever scrapes is my downpipe. I could get under my car and take a picture to prove it but its cold. I wont say anymore. But anyomne whos serious about making there car quiet should check out what im saying. A six inch barrel tucks under the car nicely and wont rattle around with good hangers. My car is slammed and it doesnt scrape. Only about an inch if that of the resonator is exsposed.
