so i just bought an hkd carbon ti muffler cause i love the cf look and they sound legit. i used to have a drift spec and i loved it so i wanna get as close to that sound, a nice deep rumble. I know the drift spec had 1 responator on it so im gonna get one. im getting custom piping for the catback obviously and probably a megan s pipe.

so my question is what kind of resonator and what size should i get to get closest to that sound? this is my first time dealing with resonators

 

have you already installed the HKS......it shoudl be pretty deep sounding already.

 

no i just bought the muffler, hks carbon ti, im getting custom piping to make it a catback, just wondering what resonator to get welded in the middle

 

with a header and exhaust, you need about 30 inches worth of resonating.

 

stock header, will probable install megan s pipe then match that up the the custom catback piping then to the hks carbon ti.

but what brands should i look at? magnaflow?

 

to be honest, I don't think the brand of resonators matters that much.

Nobody is going to agree with me and they are going to say go with an aero25.
theone thing I will say however, is stay away from cherrybombs

 

You can just copy my setup...
Megan spipe, tsudo midpipe, custom axleback

 

i saw a video with someone who had a header and aero25 attached to their midpipe....still sounded like garbage!

 

wow really? I thought that was the cool thing to have now-a-days.

I've only heard good things about em..

 

ok well guys i will have a stock header, i will never put a header on my car lol. stock header-megan s pipe-custom piping witn ____resonator-hks carbon ti. i want it to sound like my drift spec but a tad quieter.

and yeah i've heard of aero and magnaflow thats about it

 

I would go with a Vibrant Ultra Quiet but that's just me. There is no need to get 8 feet worth of resonators, that's just insane. You won't be able to hear anything at all at that point. You don't want a bunch of hotdog style resonators cluttering up your midpipe. I would go with the vibrant ultra quiet and go from there.

 

aero25 is only like 12" and its not enough to take away rasp by itself.. for its size it does a good job, it does about same job as my 18" vibrant resonator..

there are different types of resonator and some have thicker material in theme, like the vibrant ultra quiet.. you dont want really long resonator you might wanna buy a thicker one

 

ill look into the vibrant, it was one on my list anyways

 

True, but I don't think rasp should be that big of a concern in this case. If all he wants is to quiet down the exhaust a little bit, I think putting in a bunch off big ___ ones in there will be over kill.

I guess it all just depends on the owner and the taste.

 

i would get a header but the rasp is just killing it for me. for some reason people that do have good setups dont ever post videos or show videos of how it sounds from the outside.

 

magnaflow or cherry bomb

 

its between magnaflow and the vibrant...hmmm lol

 

Magnaflow shouldn't be in the equation if you want a resonator that doesn't clutter your midpipe.

 

alrighty, i gues its gonna be the vibrant ultra quiet

 

most if not all vids and sound clips you find will always suck with sound.. they dont do justice.. i havent heard of any nice sounding exhaust anywhere on you tube, they always suck than what they really sound.. it takes some pro editing to get those sound clips right
