- my muffler and resonator delete was way to raspy and drones, so I'm hoping to fix it all with these 2 12'' vibrant performance bottle style resonators, enjoy!!

Resonator install video, but no revving footage… Genius.
i was thinking the same thing, not to mention hes crying about drone but has no mufflers lol
@@beyond305 Lol all around clueless
And then he wrapped the pipes, but didn't even coat them first... Goodbye pipes in like 2-3yrs.
You will never get rid of drone with a loud car, it’s just the harsh reality of having no mufflers or no resonators. You will never get loud outside & quiet inside when you replace OEM exhaust components for louder aftermarket components.
Yeah I'm beginning to learn this. Always had trucks and they never had any drone issues but now that I've switched over to a 5.0 mustang gt I'm trying a few things and it's gotten better though
@@collintaylor4127 try what?
Helmholtz resonators fix this
45cm resonators are a good starting point or as you say in King Henry's measures 18"
Ngl I’ve spent a few hours binge watching all your vids. Really entertaining content man! Keep up the great work, definitely earned yourself a new subscriber! The car looks 🔥
Andrew Elia that’s awesome to hear. I really appreciate all the love. Thank you so much
I used a vibrant racing muffler and it helped tremendously. Added some nice low end torque too.
Resonators don't do much at idle. They typically target the higher rpm rasp.

How to eliminate low rpms drone on load
A Helmholtz resonator (J pipe) would definitely fix your drone issue. I just went through this with my car, even did the Vibrant resonators and found the same thing, helped with some rasp issues but did absolutely nothing for the drone. The thing is with the helmholtz you have to get the length just right for maximum effect. There are all sorts of calculations you will find, the problem is there are so many variables they will not give you the ideal length. I found just a 2-3 inch change can make a huge difference.
I new it would be somewhere between 30 to 48 inches, fortunately my car is a single exhaust and I had plenty of room to add a long J pipe. So I used a slightly narrower pipe with a band clamp so I could experiment with different lengths. It immediately helped but still not enough, I went to extremes and did not notice much difference, then I started doing smaller increments and when I got to around 42 inches it all of a sudden was a night and day difference. I really think this is the way to do it, folks that pick one fixed length right off the bat based off of some arbitrary values is most likely not going to give the best results. However if you get the length right the results are very impressive.
The problem with your situation is I don't see where you have room . A muffler will certainly work, but will also kill most of the sound you are after. That is what is so great about the Helmholts option, it is very frequency selective, so you can get rid of the drone and still have most of the sound you want. You just need to find the space.
This sounds right. It’ll be a frequency related issue, like I’ve posted. Interesting product you’ve found there.
J pipe is what you need for the drone. Resonator will only help on low RPM rasp. Will not lower volume and will little to no drone reduction. I had the same issue with vibrant resonator.
Hey man. Where did you place your vibrant resonators ? I heard some placed it where the mufflers used to be and others placed it where secondary cats used to be. Im having low end rasp around 1k-2k rpm. Catless vrsf dps. Sec cats delete. Muffler delete
Hopefully you ceramic coated exhaust before wrapping it… Otherwise moisture will build up between the wrap and the pipe, and ultimately corrode holes into it.
Ask me how I know 😉
Exactly, but his kid did a video on reducing drone by installing a resonator (which typically target rasp, not drone), yet didn't even rev it in the video... I doubt he is keen enough to even understand what you said.
No it doesn't
@@Liveforeever Yes… It does.
@@nataliamiliano150 mine didn't
@@Liveforeever Not yet… they will.
Or pull off the wrap and see what’s happening underneath. You’ll see.
Vibrant Ultra Quiet for the rasp and dB. J pipe/Helmholtz pipe for the drone.
I can't wait to these installed so I can tone down my really loud flowmaster super 10s along with HFC, there's also some drone so hopefully these will help
Should put some v band clamps in the middle, and you gotta figure out what you like dude. You say you don't like the drone then youre glad its not gone.
Hey man, consider adding a set of hemholtz resonators, 1/4 turn pipes. At what rpm range are you experiencing the drone? I will look for the equation that'll give you an idea of the required pipe length to cancel out the drone frequencies.
don't know if you will see this but I just got magnaflow 12468 installed where my resonator was and got a muffler delete adding dual quad 4 inch tips (2.5 inch piping after 3rd cat) and it has hella drone around 1500-2000 rpm whether I'm on the highway or around town. They didn't bend the pipe to go around the gas tank on each side cuz the shop that bends it was closed and I needed the car the next day so it's pretty much straight piping from resonator to bumper (they put the pipe under the gas tank). I'm wondering if the drone would go away if they actually bent the pipe to go around the gas tank on each side or do I need these vibrant resonators?
@@nikolayk.3670 is J pipe the only solution? I was so happy with the sound when it got installed today but the noise inside just makes me upset how much money I spent
@@nikolayk.3670 what’s up boss hope u see this lol. I have a Honda Accord lxs 2011 all 2.4l. I replaced my muffler and love how it sounds. I don’t want to delete resonator but I want to replace a resonator thinking it will make the car noise a little deeper/louder? Any suggestions?? Please let me know
For your set up(without re-doing anything else), 2x - Vibrant Ultra Quiet 1142 Resonators would be a better choice over their bottles.
Get the vibrant ultra quiet resonators in place of those, and if they don't work, put some high flow mufflers on there like the flowmaster DBX.
Make a video on adding sound deadening material to the truck👍🏼 clean M3 btw
The Mystetion oh I will
@@Anguella97 And paint that piece of wood to black completely or cover that with some black sound deadening material. Looks ''nasty'' currently.
The Mystetion haha I know. I’m gonna covet it with the sound stuff
Mad clean I don’t even think he molested it shit is factory spec right there okay maybe not them back seats but hey RACECAR 😂
The resonators are designed to eliminate rasp from V6 and V8 engines.
Inherently they will remove a tiny amount of other sound like volume and drone - but not much, and not their intention.
A rear muffler is designed to reduce volume.
The drone can come from anywhere. But ultimately it’s a frequency issue. Anything that you add or omit from the exhaust system, or anything that vibrates, will change your experience. Therefore adding mufflers may change it or mask it: you may only need a small one; alternatively a different size resonator may work, or secondary inline pre-res set. You could even change exhaust length.
You can chase this for ages ; this is what manufacturers spend ages on developing.
Get it right and you might have a winner; something sellable. Not everyone wants massively louder & rasp.
I'll give you a big thumbs up for not having a four door, coupes rule, four doors are for grandmas and taxi cabs 👍🏾😉
1st time I come across an exhaust video where there's no before/after recording demo of the exhaust sound with the change of new exhaust components.
Should i be putting my resonators where my mufflers used to be ? I have catless dp, secondary cats delete and muffler delete. Also should i be getting the ultra quiet or the normal ones ? I get rasp in low rpm like 1-2k and also rasp when i step on it around 5-6k rpm
Or should i put the resonators where the secondary cats use to be ?
Dude could’ve literally just kept the old oe resonators that’s meant for the car
Sorry for replying now but i think i no what the problem is. U running dual straight pipes. U suppose to install 4 resonators and not 2 for your specific setup
Nice vid but I really wish you did some clips with the exhaust revving and comparison sound vids :)
Agreed with the removal of the seats noise. On my car, the drone is unbearable only with the center rear armrest door open. I cannot imagine with the seats removed.
I would put another set of resonators as mufflers, checkout Aero resonators, TR line.
You need a muffler if you want to decrease the sound the resonators may help the drone though.
I’m thinking about doing a muffler delete and putting in a vibrant res on my 13’ e92, anyone know how it would sound?
The 3in on the resonators is actually 3 in ID or inner diameter meaning they slide over 3in OD or outer diameter pipe.
nice video bro great content, keep it up !
PickupGrey thanks man I appreciate it
I have a corsa catback on my cadillac ats 2.0T for nearly 2 years now.its very loud in the cabin and some drone.do you think adding a vibrant ultra quiet resonator will do the trick?
Hey! I recently installed catless downpipes on my N54 e92 with a aftermarket catback exhaust. Increased power and turbo spool but killed my exhaust note. I am going to be pursuing some Vibrant Resonators but which model did you use? 1794?
im new to your channel bro, amazing content! liked and subbed!
Ishtyaq_ awesome dude thank you so much.
Are you using stainless wire in your MIG welder? What gass?
Have you tried installing a J-Pipe?
Yes a Helmholtz resonator would fix the drone issue, the problem is he would need about 42 inches of length and for both pipes. It does not look like he has room to do even one let alone two. But yes, if you get the length right it would definitely fix the drone issue.
where in jersey bro. im in south Brunswick. my car sounds raspy and shitty since I put a megan header on. gonna put a magnaflow universal cat on and a vibrant muffler see if that cleans it up
e l my laurel. It I actually just moved to Virginia
Wats up man what kind of exhaust or muffler do you Prefer for my daily 06 Chevy Malibu
OR... now hear me out. Put the seats back?
Just put original mufflers back in and an electronic cutout just in front of original rear mufflers. I put "dougs cutouts" in and they are amazing. Factory sound when I want, then racing V8 with the flick of a switch. They can be part open as well.
Same issue here man did you end up going with a muffler cause that’s what I’m thinking to get next
Just want want to know if you got a muffler and if it helped because I’m tired of spending money lol
@@jay_gymdude9233 I'm in the same boat. Im thinking that mufflers will do the job
@@Speedstamus I installed a vibrant res it fixed it but some ppl still say it’s loud but I like it way better then before
What’s the dimension of the radiator? 12in?
Do the led lights for the radio ac and start button !! Please
Angel F I tried, the LEDs are extremely hard to find. They are 1/4 the size of true cluster ones and I can’t find them anywhere
How did it sound after adding sound deadening?
The problem is resonators aren't mufflers 🤯
True but some do dampen noise a bit like Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonators but yeah they're not muffler replacements.
Do adding two resonator on a single pipe reduce the noise?
Yes
Same set up like you but I think ima put the oem X pipe back on....should be no drone....
any link for the resonators
Ezequiel Ponce sorry no. Just go on vibrantperformance.com and search for your specific sizes
Bro I come from the GTI mk7 world and in that cars the resonator control the frequency and the muffler the volumen, maybe here is the same case... Maybe you just need and a muffler
...you have a lot of drone because you don't have a goddamn muffler....
I did say!
haha you did, its hard to get that perfect note for cheap but I think I did find it with this new setup, just need to add some sound detaning
Yeh hopefully that works out for you or fit some audio sound deadner. Keep up the good work.
@@ellipsis2315 yeah that's what I plan on using, thanks
I mean I got to hear it idle uhhhh where them revs at 😂 rasp is my perfect peeve lowkey so I understand that 1000%
This is an example of someone who doesn't have a problem to begin with, creates one (or some), then finally tries to solve it(them)... Why? ... Just why? 🤔 🙄
Use Helmholtz resonator lol
yes but where would he put it?
So you removed the resonators and mufflers, and find that it's too loud and raspy. 🤔 Bro, you might have figured it out! Call the newspapers for this one. 'this just in! Mufflers quiet your exhaust!'
I have a high flow catted downpipe, straight mid pipe, tiny Cp-e mufflers on the axle back portion. It is a bit raspy as well, for me, so I grabbed a Flowmaster straight through resonator to hopefully cut some of the high frequencies out.
I did a resonator delete on my 2019 and it feels slower. I am tripping??
Just happened to me as well, deleted two resonators on my Audi A5 and felt a decrease in power in lower RPMs. I’m running stage 2 FBO.
@@TheChrizTrickz Deleting mufflers or swapping for wider pipes reduces backpressure. Doing that usually impacts low end torque. The high end may have a slight bump in power, but in daily driving (where you spend a lot of time in the low end revs) you'll feel that loss.
@@Michael.Landa.703 So what do you suggest to fix that issue?
@@anabolicdopeboy7413 I did a muffler delete (kept resonators) and felt what he described. I went and had a muffler shop fab me a catback with a magnaflow 2 in-2 out muffler and high flow resonators. Cost a bit more than just deleting things but the sound is awesome all through the revs, there is no drone and (measured by my ass in the seat) I feel the low end is back. Not tuned btw. The engine just feels healthier. Sometimes shortcuts lead to the longer route. At least in my case.
@@Michael.Landa.703 🤔Hmmm, seems like a good point bub
Branch resonator
Just put ya back seat back in problem solved, your welcome
I don’t think doing a res delete is worth it lol just get a full system
Put an xpipe
Fix yo brightness foo,
Rear seats.. It's called being a tool and cutting your mufflers off lol.
Your dog shouldn't be there while your welding....
resonator is for rasp and muffler are for drone
Wrong
