Default Someone school me on Resonators....

OK, so I'm now hitting up my Exhaust as my next upgrade. I've ordered the MMW and will be shipping it off to Jet-Hot.

I'm going to go with the Greddy Evo2 catback.

Now. The last thing I obviously need to add is a resonator or three. Can people give me the pros/cons of the different resonators out there? Is there a specific model people like? Pros/Cons?

I've heard of >30" Magnaflow resonators, but I don't see 'em on their website... so i'm a bit confused as to where this stuff is buyable.... It's probably also worthwhile to mention that i'm SC'd, so if there's anything glaring about my exhaust plans, speak up

(Yes. I did search. No. There's nothing useful about Resonators out there, only spotty info. I'm looking for more definitive info. Thanks in advance!)

last time i heard of is that greddy evo2 was a axle back not a catback. hmm..

i have no idea about resonators. but ive read a bunch of these "getting a headers what type of exhaust" and everyone responds catback with 30" resonator. so you obviously know that already. yeah im not much of help. LMAOOOO

Try PMing Stylis (Gabe) he can answer any of your questions on resonators. He knows his stuff and is always glad to help.

resonators - they decrease sound

how they do it: they have the sound waves inside the resonator reflect and destruct against themselves, producing a much lower tone. Its harmonic physics really. They are nice little contraptions - if you can call them that lol

Yah, I'm aware of how they work and what they do - just seems like I keep reading about these 30" resonators, yet no one ever mentions brands/model numbers/etc like everything else in here

Did you do an exhaust on your BCP? If you did, which resonators did you use?

Most local exhaust shops can get them easily. Check one out and see what they say.
