Best resonators available ?

Mikey_Bo0sts · 02-02-2011, 12:52 PM

Hey guys I want a deep mean sound on my car, but OBV I don't want to spend over 1k on a part that wont gain me any HP , so I was thinking of getting rid of the mufflers and cats, and adding resonators to quiet down the crazy straight pipe , so I was wondering what would be the best resonators , since I got only xpipe on e92 , thanks

Just put some vibrant (1792's) on this morning.
I"m running cat less downpipes, stock exhaust after that. Put the resonators where the secondary cats used to go. Sounds good. A bit louder without the raspy noise. Can't beat the $

+1 Vibrant 1792 are cheap and the perfect solution but I am not sure it will work without mufflers in the rear and just straight pipe which the OP is running

How about these Vibrant "ultra quitet" resonators ? Do they fit instead of the second catalysts ? They say they are specifically designed for 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder motors:

They also have a 2.25" part.

But I think the 335i exhaust is 2.5".
