I’m thinking about doing magnaflow exhausts for my dual pipes for my ‘17 Honda Accord sport and keeping the resonator. I think that might be the best way
I removed the Resinators off my GTO (LS1) and replaced the mufflers with a couple Flowmaster 10 series and it sounds amazing. It was the perfect mix of a nice rumble that's not too loud and a deep sound when I get on it without any of that obnoxious popping.
Ls1 straight piped with a Flowmaster super40 and I just eliminated the cats and man I hate the popping noise soo looking into installing a resonator now to see if it reduces the popping on take off speeds
My 2004 GTO has mufflers,just resonators and NEVER has a foul word been said about it by others,only complements. Oh, it was done as a Christmas present in 2005 for me by wife. I thank her big big.. Thanks guys for your time.
Mufflers quiet down all that sound but removing the resonator makes it all the more raspy because it has nothing to turn down all that sound because the resonator is like a chamber that cancels out the unwanted frequencies in the exhaust the best it can that’s why I don’t understand why people like no resonators cause it makes a huge difference
I’m not gonna lie, I put two 18” resonators on my 2014 mustang, and it silenced it SO much. No cats and Flowmaster outlaws. Took the sound almost entirely down to stock. Sort of crazy...
@@Jsteelies Drone is near non-existent. I have 3.73 gears so on the highway taching 3k can get noisy but not quite droning. The sound is VERY lovely from idle-3500, but starts getting wild around 4000. Still sounds great throughout the whole powerband, definitely the best exhaust setup I have heard on a 3.7.
size of resonator makes a huge differnce, I have an HKS catback on my jdm STI it has 2 resonaders of different lengths. No drone at any speed but sounds amazing.
I have been really trying to find this exact content. This answered every question I had in order that I had them, ironically. Keep making great content. I have seen a bunch of your videos over the years. I was positive I was subbed at one point. Here's my sub again. YT can't stop the people!
I agree with your stance, just short of going with a valved system of putting in diverters, getting rid of the muffler but retaining a resonator is great for daily driven cars. You get the louder volume under hard throttle without the drone. That’s what I have on my car and it’s perfect. It’s definitely louder than but there’s no drone and very little noise unless it is under load. Be light on the throttle and it doesn’t bother anyone, punch it and it sounds amazing.
I'm a REAL newbie... want to have SLIGHT throaty sound upon acceleration but quiet at cruising speed (as much as possible)... 95 Honda Del Sol S Suggestions?
Only confusion for me is that on my 07 outback 2.5i I cut the y pipe and mufflers off and I left resonator which gave me a slightly louder and aggressive sound, BUT with the addition of removing the resonator it was 3 times louder and I had to put it back on, seems like the resonator does a better job of silencing the car than the mufflers.
The pipe going into the resonator on my NA Subi is 2.4 inch but coming out is 1.75. I can't picture it as free flowing. I will probably put a glasspack type resonator in.
Did muffler and resonator delete on my V8 B7 Audi S4 and I'll tell you right now for a Station Wagon my Audi S4 sounds better than any muscle car I've ever heard! I'll post a couple videos on my page soon. My page is normally only meant for my music that I produce but I may start uploading some content regarding my Audi S4.
I still have a cat installed but it blew out ages ago. Recently I did a muffler delete and replaced it with straight pipe and a 30° bent pipe. Sounds awesome with just a resonator. I don't notice any drone on the highway.
On my g35 I have it straight pipe with magnaflow resignator its just the perfect amount of sound. Where I can still stay lowkey and not get pulled over.
This doesn’t really make sense, more power would use more fuel. Reducing exhaust restriction would mean more airflow, which means more fuel for more combustion.
I have 2022 Durango rt with 2flowmaster super10 as my mid muffler ,sound amazing never heard any drone even when cruising maybe because of stock 2 resonator still on. thanks to this video it's explained properly
I went the other way on my LS 6.0. Kept all 4 cats and resonator but use electric cutouts on both mufflers. Sound like a corvette when vales are open, quiet as a limo when valves are shut.
What if I run a car with 3 different-sized resonators (but no mufflers), each resonator for each specific RPM range, would it still be straight-pipe-sounding when I step on it? Theoretically, my brain says it should, but in practice, I wonder.
When I'm buying an aftermarket exhaust system I prefer a tuned sound without all the drone and rasp. On the flip side of the coin, a loud exhaust may sound " cool " and turn heads, but it does not make your car any faster. A nice, clean and well built vehicle IMO will score more points than any obnoxious sounding exhaust. Function > Form all day long.
Thanks Scott, ive been looking for a way to explain the sort of noise i want from my car without myself sounding like a 15 year old kid or having another car there to show them what im after. But a "tuned sound without all the drone and rasp" is exactly what i was looking for, Cheers :D
My car's "resonator" is technically a muffler, as it is a 3-chamber design. Most aftermarket fart cans and legit "mufflers" are a straight through design with a large-ish body, suxh as Magnaflow (not XL), Borla, and Flowmaster FlowFX series and arguably call the Flowmaster laminar flow mufflers a straight through design also, as by your definition, it is a resonator, not a muffler. Dynomax Super Turbo is a muffler, but a Ultra-Flo is a resonator, by your definition. Confused yet?
I got a muffler delete on my truck but kept the stock cars and resonator. The resonator is our near the tip, and the truck idles pretty quietly. Would removing the resonator make it sound deeper and a little louder when idling?
It really depends what your engine sounds like straight piped. A lot of cars have resonators to get rid of undesirable sounds so getting rid of it could make it more high pitched and raspy🤷🏽♂️
I always delete the factory muffler and resonator and then run an aftermarket performance resonator. But at the end of the day it’s all preference based on sound.
My truck is true dual straight piped and it has a ton of crackle and its too much around 1300 to 1600 rpm. Idk how to get rid of the cracking. I thought resonator would take out the cracking and popping and still leave the exhaust loud. It read 117 decibels at the exhaust shop but on my phone it read 98 directly at the pipe. What would be my best option thats still affordable, i just paid 330 dollars for the true dual straight pipe so im a little low on funds but i need it quieted down quickly, im 100% pull overable right now. Should i do something like glasspacks or just go resonator or something more 2 in 2 out magnaflow, what should i do?
My 1.8 A3 has a sport resonator with a muffler delete and there isn't a drone when cruzing around. Bout to add a IE high flow catted downpipe and Im sure it will change 😉
So I have a stock 2011 Lexus GS-350. I want that deeper tone, but no crackling etc. I heard a Flowmaster FX that sounded nice. He added tips. Do tips help the sound or just for looks? And I have a dual exhaust. You’re saying to only buy one resonator to replace one of the mufflers or am I misunderstanding?
Ok so which is the muffler and which are the resonators? Middle VRS back . Big debate about this … is the muffler in the middle or are the muffler the ones before exiting at the back🤷🏻♂️
I have a 2017 Honda Civic lx model and I got a muffler delete. It’s sounds really good but I would like it louder. If I get a resonator delete would it be any louder or not make a difference ?
It would be louder but you would have drone noise in the car from the resonater deleted. My gf car is a 2022 Toyota corolla se and she wanted bother muffler and res. Deleted. Let me say it is loud but kinda wish we just went with the muffler delete due too it being too obnoxious loud and cuz the warranty for her car. I mean we asked when we baught it if it would void the warranty for deleting the muffler and the dealer said it wouldn't. So hope we're good on both lol
Are aftermarket resonators worth looking into to replace the stock resonator ? If I have a muffle delete and want my car to be a bit louder but not obnoxiously loud and still control the drone
In my experience with a 3G TL: -resonators cut down rasp (or high RPM unwanted tinny/rattly sound when you get on it) -rear mufflers (chambered/baffled) will cut down volume across all RPMs, but are also responsible for drone. Straight pipe but with these 2 rears on eliminates all drone. -mid muffler (in my case straight through like a secondary resonator) didn’t do much, like 5% increase to volume and sounded stock. My advice is to keep rear mufflers, and swap resonator to something smaller for good tone, but enough to not cause rasp.
@@ifranz4995 definitely want a resonator Because it would be raspy AF like that now. Something like a 12” Dynomax or 14” flowmaster FX. Then if you have your old mid muffler, put that back. Still be plenty loud, and hopefully the muffler cuts some of the drone out
I’ve been searching hi and low for someone trying to do something with the 9th gen 1.5t Malibu.. before you laugh, it has respectable numbers especially with the aluminum frame
Mufflers stop the exhaust pressure almost completely. Kills more power and sound. Resonators is a straight flow design with baffles to disrupt exhaust pressure. Baby muffler. Kills less sound and less power. Helps with sound vibrations as it travels thru the pipes. Thats why its usually in the middle.
I got a 2012 Jetta 2.0 TDI and it's my daily driver! It's running a Stage 1+ ECU TCU Remap and a BMC stock air filter replacement. Would you recommend I get a resonator delete, muffler delete, both, or just don't even bother because it's a TDI ?
Quick question brother I'm about to install some resonators on my car just want to know is there a difference on what side yo installed them? but I'm talking about the inside part !
What would you guys recommend me. I have a 6.2L V8 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe. I just recently deleted the muffler and don’t like the drone in cabin … like feels like about to give me a headache…. What should I do
Can u explain the overboost for the RS. Obviously means that it is able to produce more psi for limited time. 1. What conditions need to be met to activate over-boost? 2. What is overboost function on Cobb ap n does it require different conditions to activate? 3, What are the main changes that Cobb ap does to RS?(shift buttons up n down happen at a much lower rpm.)
I have a 92 crown vic, I cut the stock muffler off and added a thrush muffler, sounds good. I wanna know if I cut my cats off and replace them with resonators will I keep somewhat the same sound or will it be obnoxiously loud???
It depends on the car if it is NA or Turbo/Super charged. NA engines need the backpressure that the muffler and resonator make. On the other hand charged cars dont need any of that, they actually gain hp from straight-through exhausts.
thanks for the simple explanation! I was debating oh what to do for my challenger scat pack, dont want the droning, just want to be louder!! Looks like ill do just the mid muffler delete.
My Question Is How Do You Tell Which Is A Muffler And Which Is A Resonator? I've Seen Mufflers That Look Like Resonators Listed On eBay. I'm Starting To Think Resonators And Mufflers Are The Same Thing.
The dummies 101version. Say the word it literally does what it says. Mufflers will muffle the sound, making it quieter. Resonators resonate sound inside of the camber changing/canceling certain sound frequencies. Corsa uses probably the most clever resonator style "mufflers" out there. They are essentially straight though design but have sophisticated baffles to tune and cancel specific sound frequencies that can eliminate drone. I run one on my car and it has nice tone and volume at WOT but sounds near stock at cruise.
@@MyGoToUserName you're talking about Active Noise Control or Noise-Cancelling. a method for reducing unwanted sound by the addition of a second sound to cancel the first. in this case sound is forced back onto itself creating a resonating effect. got it.
I have question. I bought a muffler with remote controlled bypass valve to make the exhaust sound louder for my 2009 escape v6. But the muffler guy told me there's no space for the new muffler because its bigger than stock so instead they put the new muffler to the resonator. So the new muffler is my new resonator. Now i notice after the installation my gear changes a little bit delayed from 2.5-3k rpm. Not like before where it shifts at 2k rpm. On the normal drive. Though i got the growly sound that i like when i open the valve. So do i need to have the ecu tuned for the changes or the ecu will learn to cope with it?
I recently deleted my muffler & resinator on my 16 z71 v8 5.3 adding straight pipes & shes sounds beautiful!!not sure if I do already but I can send u vid if you’d like!
@@showcasehardwoodfloors1473 so you don't have any drone? I have a 2019 Chevy 1500 Z71 It has the V8 5.3L I did a muffler delete with a 3-in straight pipe but I added in a super 40 mini race muffler and I have really bad drone was wondering if I removed that race muffler if it would go away or not just don't want to cut everything out reweld everything and then have the same problem lol I also noticed that I'm pretty sure I'm getting the drone when the truck is switching from V8 to V4 mode which obviously has its own other issues but I need to get a tune or something to disable that.
I have a S60 2.0T that had one cat, resonator and muffler. Removed just the muffler and it sounds super great. Tried only with the cat, it sounded cool but it was painful to drive with it like that.
I have a question I have a 2016 focus sedan I straight pipe the resonator but I gave it a magnaflow muffler and whenever I start my car it doesn’t sound as much should I like replace my magnaflow muffler onto my resonator and straight pipe the muffler?
l Pronox I have the same set up on my camaro, and was wondering the same thing. so, did you get the resonator deleted or nah? If yes, how does it sound with resonator deleted? Better than before or nah?
I literally typed in ‘8th gen accord exhaust that doesn’t sound like sh*t’ 😂 I don’t plan on my mom redlining melting rods and pistons but then that would be bad🫏
I put flowmaster pro on my car. I ask them to put it in middle. They didn't they put it at the end of pipe. I can't stand the drone sound. Question? Can I put a resonator in front of the flowmaster to correct the drone sound?
i have a 1.8t 4motion tsi Golf Sportswagen '19 it has 3" catless downpipe, stock Res, and 2.5" pipe after the res welded on with neo chrome 4" tips 😂 and its loud on start up and full throttle, awesome on the highway no drone, and the kids never complain about noise, thinking about putting a flowmaster 50 series delta flow from my old f150 on to the back to make it quiet again (scrapped stock muflers) should i make er quiet again
Hey I have mustang with no cats but I still have muffler on the I was think about add resonator on the car will it quite down the car or will it take away just the drone and rasp?
If you could give me your opinion on my 04 Grand Cherokee V6 4.0 inline straight limited someone cut out my resonator would straight piping it and leaving the muffler be ok? Will it be quite or loud or make any difference at all if you have any suggestions it be appreciated thanks.
I’m cat-less down-pipe and muffler delete with a vibrant ultra quiet resonator with JST protune on my focus ST it sounds great. Turbo could be louder imo.
I got a 2013 mustang (V8) and I had a shop do a muffler delete but the car still could sound louder and I feel like I loose a lot of sound in the higher rpm range, the car is at its loudest at 3000rpm but I’m only there for a split second or 2 so it’s really kinda a bummer. I’m contemplating doing a resonator delete aswell, the shop said a resonator delete will make it even louder but I might get a lot of droning so I’m really not sure what to do. I just want a louder car lol! Any suggestions?
I replaced my rear muffler with a resonator. It sounds stock up to 2k rpm and then it gets louder then stock. So if I push it it has some sound, but for cruising it has the stock sound.
so quick question, I own a 2008 Pontias G6 "GXP", one owner, very low miles, but it's "quiet", super quiet, talking to the guy at the locla muffler shop, he suggested verses removing and replacing the muffler being it's a somewhat unique muffler (his words), he would remove the resonator. So what do you think, I do not want "loud", and it's only a V6, but it's as quiet as a Honda currently, what's your thoughts????????
Deleting the mufflers so u get that exhaust sound but keeping the resonators to delete the droning is the perfect combination
facts. i have noi mufflers and catless on my GTI and the resonators keep the drone down but its still pretty loud when i want it to be.
I’m thinking about doing magnaflow exhausts for my dual pipes for my ‘17 Honda Accord sport and keeping the resonator. I think that might be the best way

Right... the name says it all Mufflers muffle... resonators resonate.
LungHotBox 420 if you run no cats, and a resonators in the back the car will sound mean but it will be most likely too loud.
My local exhaust shop is telling me to replace my muffler with a resonator so that I’ll have 2 resonators on my exhaust. Is that good or bad?
Good, not too loud..
I got a 2012 Jetta 2.0 TDI and it's my daily driver! It's running a Stage 1+ ECU TCU Remap and a BMC stock air filter replacement. Would you recommend I get a resonator delete, muffler delete, both, or just don't even bother because it's a TDI ?
Did a muffler and resonator delete on my 2014 Tiguan 2.0 tsi. Sounds awesome
Quick question brother I'm about to install some resonators on my car just want to know is there a difference on what side yo installed them? but I'm talking about the inside part !
Maaan the first 3 seconds got me excited to learn 🤠
I have 2017 Volkswagen Jetta se what should you recommend will be good for that car?
What would you guys recommend me. I have a 6.2L V8 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe. I just recently deleted the muffler and don’t like the drone in cabin … like feels like about to give me a headache…. What should I do
I got a Mazda 3 2.5l w a muffler delete and it sounds great
Can u explain the overboost for the RS. Obviously means that it is able to produce more psi for limited time.
1. What conditions need to be met to activate over-boost?
2. What is overboost function on Cobb ap n does it require different conditions to activate?
3, What are the main changes that Cobb ap does to RS?(shift buttons up n down happen at a much lower rpm.)

So I will not hurt my car by having a resonator and muffler delete??? I don't want to hurt performance
thanks man now I don't have to stress about this
I have a 92 crown vic, I cut the stock muffler off and added a thrush muffler, sounds good. I wanna know if I cut my cats off and replace them with resonators will I keep somewhat the same sound or will it be obnoxiously loud???
Do not delete any of them ulness you have a V8 :)
Good one..lol Check out my open longtube headers 09 P71..
So I have this shop that's asking me if I should put two cherry 🍒 bombs for the resonator on a edge st , what do you think about it?
What would it do it if put a performance resonator and a flowmaster muffler
Questions do you loss any torq or horsepower whit resonator delete?
I believe you can actually gain horsepower.
It depends on the car if it is NA or Turbo/Super charged.
NA engines need the backpressure that the muffler and resonator make. On the other hand charged cars dont need any of that, they actually gain hp from straight-through exhausts.
@@954FirebladeRR back pressure is a myth. Scavenging and velocity is needed
Doing research before straight piping my car. This really helps with knowing what to do.
Don’t straight pipe anything bro trust me, nothing sounds good straight
Lol. Depends on the car, anything with a big cubic inch motor sounds good with straight pipes. Civic and the like, no.
That edit in the intro was extremely necessary haha
thanks for the simple explanation! I was debating oh what to do for my challenger scat pack, dont want the droning, just want to be louder!! Looks like ill do just the mid muffler delete.
0:00 first video I ever watched...smiled...laughed...sub
My Question Is How Do You Tell Which Is A Muffler And Which Is A Resonator? I've Seen Mufflers That Look Like Resonators Listed On eBay. I'm Starting To Think Resonators And Mufflers Are The Same Thing.
im more confused now than ever
The dummies 101version. Say the word it literally does what it says. Mufflers will muffle the sound, making it quieter.
Resonators resonate sound inside of the camber changing/canceling certain sound frequencies.
Corsa uses probably the most clever resonator style "mufflers" out there. They are essentially straight though design but have sophisticated baffles to tune and cancel specific sound frequencies that can eliminate drone. I run one on my car and it has nice tone and volume at WOT but sounds near stock at cruise.
@@MyGoToUserName you're talking about Active Noise Control or Noise-Cancelling. a method for reducing unwanted sound by the addition of a second sound to cancel the first. in this case sound is forced back onto itself creating a resonating effect. got it.
😆
just straight pipe the car
I want to use 2 resonator will the performance decrease significantly?
What modified exhaust would make the loudest noise on a 2013 Honda Accord coupe V6?
Straight pipe no muffler no resonator.. will sound loud and cheap.
I have question. I bought a muffler with remote controlled bypass valve to make the exhaust sound louder for my 2009 escape v6. But the muffler guy told me there's no space for the new muffler because its bigger than stock so instead they put the new muffler to the resonator. So the new muffler is my new resonator. Now i notice after the installation my gear changes a little bit delayed from 2.5-3k rpm. Not like before where it shifts at 2k rpm. On the normal drive. Though i got the growly sound that i like when i open the valve. So do i need to have the ecu tuned for the changes or the ecu will learn to cope with it?
I wanna see what kind of sounds both make in tandem.
No videos on UA-cam about that.
What type of set up would be ideal but not too obnoxious with a 2010 Dodge Avenger RT 3.4L V6? Resonator delete?
What would you all recommend for a 2016 Silverado v6 to get a little rumble without sounding like a v6 chopping sound?
I recently deleted my muffler & resinator on my 16 z71 v8 5.3 adding straight pipes & shes sounds beautiful!!not sure if I do already but I can send u vid if you’d like!
@@showcasehardwoodfloors1473 so you don't have any drone? I have a 2019 Chevy 1500 Z71 It has the V8 5.3L I did a muffler delete with a 3-in straight pipe but I added in a super 40 mini race muffler and I have really bad drone was wondering if I removed that race muffler if it would go away or not just don't want to cut everything out reweld everything and then have the same problem lol I also noticed that I'm pretty sure I'm getting the drone when the truck is switching from V8 to V4 mode which obviously has its own other issues but I need to get a tune or something to disable that.
I have a S60 2.0T that had one cat, resonator and muffler. Removed just the muffler and it sounds super great. Tried only with the cat, it sounded cool but it was painful to drive with it like that.
I have a question I have a 2016 focus sedan I straight pipe the resonator but I gave it a magnaflow muffler and whenever I start my car it doesn’t sound as much should I like replace my magnaflow muffler onto my resonator and straight pipe the muffler?
How do get a 2020 Chevy Malibu premier to sound and work like Audi sq8?
What would you suggest muffler or resonator delete for 2018 Max??
Quick question....
So I have a borla atak exhaust system installed... do I need a resonator?
l Pronox
I have the same set up on my camaro, and was wondering the same thing.
so, did you get the resonator deleted or nah?
If yes, how does it sound with resonator deleted?
Better than before or nah?
I literally typed in ‘8th gen accord exhaust that doesn’t sound like sh*t’ 😂 I don’t plan on my mom redlining melting rods and pistons but then that would be bad🫏
So i have an 02 accord and it has two exhaust and i qanted to make it as loud as possible but dont know what should be the move
Remove the 2 mufflers
I put flowmaster pro on my car. I ask them to put it in middle. They didn't they put it at the end of pipe. I can't stand the drone sound. Question? Can I put a resonator in front of the flowmaster to correct the drone sound?
I deleted both on my v6 .3.8 litre sound like v8 and a chopper. Is that bad . Just all straight pipes
i have a 1.8t 4motion tsi Golf Sportswagen '19 it has 3" catless downpipe, stock Res, and 2.5" pipe after the res welded on with neo chrome 4" tips 😂 and its loud on start up and full throttle, awesome on the highway no drone, and the kids never complain about noise,
thinking about putting a flowmaster 50 series delta flow from my old f150 on to the back to make it quiet again (scrapped stock muflers) should i make er quiet again
Hey I have mustang with no cats but I still have muffler on the I was think about add resonator on the car will it quite down the car or will it take away just the drone and rasp?
Yes to both..
I have resonators on my Camaro with longtube headers and flowmaster HP2 I get drone at 2k rpm cruising on the freeway
If you could give me your opinion on my 04 Grand Cherokee V6 4.0 inline straight limited someone cut out my resonator would straight piping it and leaving the muffler be ok? Will it be quite or loud or make any difference at all if you have any suggestions it be appreciated thanks.
2015 silverado suggestions??
I’m cat-less down-pipe and muffler delete with a vibrant ultra quiet resonator with JST protune on my focus ST it sounds great. Turbo could be louder imo.
I have straight pipe but I have a glass pack in my resonators but it doesn’t really sound good on my Malibu 1.5
Maybe add video clips of the differences
Absorbing mufflers (resonator) are better than straight pipes for power
I got a 2013 mustang (V8) and I had a shop do a muffler delete but the car still could sound louder and I feel like I loose a lot of sound in the higher rpm range, the car is at its loudest at 3000rpm but I’m only there for a split second or 2 so it’s really kinda a bummer. I’m contemplating doing a resonator delete aswell, the shop said a resonator delete will make it even louder but I might get a lot of droning so I’m really not sure what to do. I just want a louder car lol! Any suggestions?
I’d did muffler delete on my Kia, but it’s not loud enough, I want to take off the resonator too.
I replaced my rear muffler with a resonator. It sounds stock up to 2k rpm and then it gets louder then stock. So if I push it it has some sound, but for cruising it has the stock sound.
How's the drone
recommended resonator for a 2.5 inch single exit exhaust?
so quick question, I own a 2008 Pontias G6 "GXP", one owner, very low miles, but it's "quiet", super quiet, talking to the guy at the locla muffler shop, he suggested verses removing and replacing the muffler being it's a somewhat unique muffler (his words), he would remove the resonator. So what do you think, I do not want "loud", and it's only a V6, but it's as quiet as a Honda currently, what's your thoughts????????
Sell it , buy a V8 ss mate
