So here is my setup....

DME 4-1 header>Magnaflow highflow CAT> 2x18" Magnaflow resonators> Tanabe Medallion touring exhaust.

So I had to installl the resonators to deal with the rasp that I developed from adding the header.

I am planning on going turbo in the near future and was wondering if I need to keep the resonators installed. Not planning on getting a different muffler. Will the turbo effect the sound of my exhaust?

 

yea it should sound way better

 

before: supercharged scion tc, weapon-r 4-2-1 header, 3 inch exhaust with high flow cat, resonator and muffler:

after: same exhaust, but with a turbo toyotas simple kit:

So the quesstion is, should I remove the resonators?

 

you dont have to...but it does act as a small restriction. but nah youll be fine with them in

 

I would because I run no cats and no resonators with just a magnaflow muffler and 2.5" piping except a stock S-Pipe and it sounds great! No rasp, nice deep tone, not loud at all and sounds stock on the inside! My recirc'd WG and BOV help too but the BB turbo tends to give me away because it's louder than the car! lol

 

should be fine with them. though resonators always resist. so its up to u

 

ull be fine right now im running open midpipe on my turbo and its quite as ***** when i open it up all u hear is spooling, i have 2 resonators 1 stock and the other a 12 inch vibrant

 

it wont be raspy at all unless u get a ptuning kit then your car will be raspy as hell...good kit tho...and remove the resonators ...

 

The turbo will act like a muffler on it's own and quiet down the exhaust.

 

ptuning kit raspy?

whatttttttt

are you high right now?

its a turbo kit.. with a straight 3" s pipe!

 

 

I might just remove the two Magnaflow resonators and replace them with an Aero or Vibrant.

We'll see once I get the turbo, I'll have to play around with it.

 

actually chin has a point moises has a ptuning kit and the ptuning exhaust and its not a deep tone its more a rasp but its a nice deep rasp i like

 

The exhaust note will be effected on the turbine A/R, exhaust diameter and manifold design.

 

So the turbo and turbo manifold will kind of act like the OEM exhaust manifold. Need to replace the Magnaflow resonators anyway, they seem to have lost their effectiveness in reducing the rasp.

Don’t really want to have a horribly loud car.

 

if thats the case then keep one resonator...when ur turbo take out the resonator and u will be golden...

 

I reckon it's from the turbo on the SS kit being used. As the Race kit runs a GT3076r and it doesn't sound the same obviously (dual BB).

 

My cars nice and deep when driving once I get on it it just opens up a bag of raspiness

 

yehh...his kit was what i was referring too and that other guy makin 617 whp his car is pretty raspy...but who cares lol if ur fast idc what u sound like
