How Important is the resonator?!?! NEED LOTS OF OPINIONS PLEASE!
hey guys and gals....
looking to buy an exhaust and im stuck on megan or magnaflow...
megan - $335
magnaflow - $255 cept it doesnt have a resonator...

for that price, you could just go buy a resonator and still be way cheaper then a magnaflow full kit thats usually close to $600
where is that place located where ur buying from?

i have header 3 inch dp with cat and Magnaflow its not raspy at all excpt when the coolant temps are below 165 other than that its a great exhst. mine is the deepest that ive heard on a balt, mine is custom though, its their long muffler and it does have a resinated tip, it should still sound the same

so i got this exhaust on.....no resonator....my god its freaken loud...
theres no real fitment issues....just that the tip was a lil off centered
its freaken loud cause
1) it doesnt have a resonator...
2) the muffler is a straight through system...unlike the other magnaflows offered for the cobalts...which the inlet is centered and the outlet is offset to a side...
3) its quite raspy wen starting up but its okay wen its warmed up....none the less....gonna buy a resonator now!.
pics and sounds later..
