I have an DP/RTP/RS-R ExMag (3" straight through) but it's getting a little too loud for me now. I was wondering where could I find 3" resonators (18" - 24" L) here around the South Bay? I've asked almost all of the Muffler shops around my area and the largest diameter they carry is 2.5". Ebay is another choice, but even ebay has limited options.

TIA

adding resonator(s) might not even reduce the droning noise since ur exhaust uses the cannon ball muffler type.

I am a big fan of vibrant resonators. Good price and good quality.

Yeah I got a Vibrant off ebay. Really nice SS resonators and a good price. I got a 3x12" for like 65 bux. :D I'd get at least an 18" though the 12" was only enough to juuuuuuuust notice a difference.

Anyone know of a 3.5" resonator cause my test pipe is 3.5"? Will this even quiet the sound down so that I wont get stares from cops?

Is your whole exhaust 3.5"? It's not really great for flow to step up and down through-out the system.


And the answer to your question is still Vibrant.

Vibrant sells flanges and resonators for almost every application. I'm going to buy a full 3" large chamber resonator and flange and have my buddy weld it all up.

sweet! i'm gonna check vibrant out and the dynomax race bullet resonators...hopefully an 18" or even a 24" would at least take away some

thanks guys...merry christmas to u gentlemen!

anyone have any experience on these?

Please don't get the louvered ones...

^+1 yup don't get the louvered ones...they maybe a tad bit cheaper but they are not worth the savings!

+1 You can't get those they restrict flow, that's why they are cheap. You need to get the perforated core ones. $60 is what I paid for mine shipped on ebay for 3"x12" not sure what a 24" would be, shop around. ;)

Oh i wasn't planning on it LOL! I took one peek at those pics of the louvered ones and they look like shit in there :icon_lol:

I got a titanium exhaust though so i don't think i know anyone who can/will do a good job welding it :icon_confused:

you can always make a slip fit joint.

the 3" x 24" are under $70 shipped from RRE...and yes +1 on the slip on method!
