hey lads, like i said before i have the flowmaster super 40's, u-bend deleted, and a hi-flo cat, would you say it would sound better with or without the resonator?

With resonator. But no resonator is better then a resonator with holes in it.

i just put a new resonator on, but its still not as loud as i thought it would be, i like a deep rumble you know, but if you know from experiance that resonators are the way to go then ill trust your judgment, lol i just wanted alittle louder sound is all

I have super 40s as well and I really couldn't tell a difference outside the car with or without a resonator. But there is more cabin drone then with a resonator.

this will be you on the highway with no resonator.

waaaaaahhhhhhhhhtttttttt iiiiiiiiiii ccaaaaaaaaaaannnn'ttttt (let off the trottle) hear you!

what??? hahaha you saying its good without resonator??

or terrible?

i'm saying it drones and gives you a headache.

As long as you have a full exhaust, and the tip goes passed the end of the bumper, not having the resonator isn't that bad.

I've got 2.5" pipe and one FM Original 40 and there is little drone. But if that tip were not that extra inch or so past the bumper, yeah, it'd drone pretty bad.

Not having a res isn't going to be head-ache inducing. Not having an exhaust past the cat is, however.

Or not having tips is a headache. Drove like that for a day never again.

ok so then maybe ill give it a shot, my tips go passed the bumper, for sure, alittle too far, but anyways ill give it a shot, im actually getting it done at speedy muffler, they seem to know what to do. ill let you know how it turns out

If a full resonator is too quiet, check out the dynomax race bullet muffler. I put one on my wife's car after installing a ZZP DP on a already custom 2.5" system. The muffler took just enough bite out. Dynomax's site says 2-4db reduction.
