Default Aftermarket Resonators

Guys,

Putting my car back to stock so I want to tone my exhaust down some. it is a custom mandrel bent exhaust with L-Tuned mufflers. Sounds mean as hell but now i sold the supercharger I don't need the excessive noise.

Anyone put aftermarket resonators in?? I am guessing Magnaflows will be the most popular??

Jonny

I think I am one of the few who have done the magnaflow res. It is a bit more free flowing then stock and only changes the tone just a hair. I had to replace mine cause of the accident...they were all bent up

I recommend them....price is good as well

Thanks man,

Absolutely.....I would say its just a little bit louder...barely noticable compared to the stock res's

I have the L-tuned mufflers. I liked how it sounded when I had the stock piping with the L-Tuned mufflers, but at that stage I wanted to go a little louder. Now I am back to stock I want the exhaust toned down a lot.

Do you have a link where you got yours?? Thanks man,
Jonny

you may want to sell your l-tuned exhaust and put back on some stock muffles but change out for more aggressive tips. im sure you'll be able to sell the ltunes.
