Thoughts on resonators for full 3 inch

[mattmynhier]

Ordering new kooks soon. Going with the 1 3/4 to a 3 inch O/R x pipe. Then having custom 3 inch pipes to the back. Wondering the thoughts on a good resonator for the 3 inch. Or just go straight out the back w/o any resonator.

Before people start talking about how it will sound like ass, I've had a M-55 and have an M-58 on my car currently.
I love the sound of the M-55 and this is pretty much the same setup as the M-55. Thoughts?

Thanks

So you basically you want a 3" M55 it sounds like. With exhaust sound it is like women there are so many types and each guy has their own favorite type of lady. We can't tell you what you like. Pull up some videos listen to some good clips and see what you like.

I for one loved the M58 had it on my 01 but hated the M55 so for me I would not like 3" resonators but again not my car.

Yea wanting a full 3 inch from front to back. Just haven't seen many 3 inch resonators.

I have these from ARH that are installed in my 3" x-pipe. Not sure the part number or anything on them other than they are 3" in/out. Maybe worth a call to ARH to see what they offer. Posted these links because my pictures aren't showing for some reason.

I have four kooks mufflers on mine with a full 3" setup and a custom built H-pipe -- I love it. You could do the same setup without the larger mufflers. Kooks is just a bit pricey. My setup is based on a YouTube video I saw from Kooks.

Vibrant sells a quality 3" resonator.

I'm turbo, but here's my exhaust. Just 1/5/8-3" cg fab ff headers, 3" downpipes, and 3" back. Did the resonators because it droned too much. Now it's almost as loud as it was, but cleaner and still pretty lopey (mmr cams), but quiet enough for street use.

(Before anyone says that cooler is mounted badly, it has a heat coated air damn now. And the entire echaust is coated as well. I can touch the pipes right after dyno pulls. Maybe gets to 100-110°)

Pretty clean. Got any sound clips? That looks pretty sweet setup
I've been wanting to hear a good sounding TT stang with mufflers all the way out the back

That setup is going to be EXTREMELY loud! To be anywhere near driveable on the street, we would recommend running a pair of oval mufflers at least 5x8x14" in size. We offer a handful of these with 3" inlets and outlets which can be found here on our site:

Please let us know if there are any questions we can answer about them.

That's a solid recommendation. I'm happy with it. I have twin t4's so it's not too loud in my opinion. My catless dr.gas 2.5" xpipe/2.5" magnaflow cat back combo on my original eaton 4.6 with stock exhaust manifolds was actually quite a bit louder driving around town.

I'll try to upload vids. I have tons of them but they aren't on a website, just on my phone. When I try to upload it says bad source :-/

Wow that actually worked. Ok here's a better one


It's not omg loud, even wide open throttle it's quieter than most o/r ts cars around here. Turbos are natural mufflers.

 

[tt335ci03cobra]

It's only loud at wot, and honestly not that loud.

 

[tt335ci03cobra]

Alright, thread hijack done, so back to 3" resonators. I like them. On an sc car it will be obnoxiously loud though...

Car sounds awesome my friend. Thanks for the vids

Thanks man, it's crude but I like it. CG fab headers, 3" down pipes, stainless works plumbing with x pipe, vibrant resonators.
