Ok folks.Im just gathering up parts for when i get my GA IRS back from powder coating. Its being held till i get my paycheck in 2 weeks. lol. I hate bills. Since i have to remove and reroute the exhaust im gonna change a few things along the way. Such as my resonator. It suxs. So, on why the question at hand.

I know i can use a glasspack as a resonator. And to make it cheaper at the exhaust shop, i wanna replace the main pipe after the cat with resonator. 2.25" in/out of coarse.

can use either of these without to much hassle?

Im pretty sure the 25" will fit, but if i get the 31" can i connect it to the cat just after the o2 sensor and still have enough room, etc?

Though im not a fan of red, it will do.

Edited for the 27".

When you measured how much room you have, how many inches did you get?

I found out that I could have gotten a couple more inches of resonator if I hadn't used the Case Length. The place I went to cut off the tips of the resonator, so I only had the thick part. If that makes any sense....

Ok, ill measure it again after work.

with a custom downpipe and magnaflow 94035 cat, i was able to fit the 26/31" resonator under my car with no problems. im not sure though if it will fit if you connect it with the stock cat.

I have the first one, the 20" nice a deep..

woa why don't u get a REAL resonator....
instead of those glass pack POS!
check out www.hotexhaust.com

thats where i bought my resonator (18 inches) 2.25 from them and it came to like 70 shiped to my door (and YES it is free shipping!!)

^^ my bad i ment to say www.hottexhaust.com wit 2 t's lol

Its the same thing, just not red. Im sorry you paid tooo much. Actually the other thing is, those magnapacks have a louvered core, not perforated.

The mangnapacks from magnaflow are prerorated.

Besides the red.
The thrush glasspacks also weigh less being only 3.5" around as opposed to 4".

Although now Thrush offers a couple stainless steel mirror glaspacks now if you wanted to spend the money.

Remember....syringes go in the RED waste basket.

Two things...

First, the only "real resonator" you're going to get is the stocker. A resonator, by definition, is an enlarged area of pipe of a certain diameter and volume that has a specific resonant frequency and is used to dampen "troublesome frequencies" in an exhaust note. It has no glass packing, multiple chambers or other types of restrictions. The "slap it on" mentality prevalent on this (and most other) car forums is pretty indicative of the ability of the members there to make their own properly tuned resonator.

Second, if you're referring to your "real resonator" as the Magnapack muffler on the hottexhaust.com website, I've got some bad news for you. Magnapack is Magnaflow's glasspack muffler. What you're seeing there is a company that's smart enough to callit a resonator in their ads. Everyone and their grandmother is looking for "resonators" these days as they find out that most 4 cylinder cars sound like ass with a wide open exhaust. It's still a glasspack muffler, with no different design than every glasspack that's been made for dozens of years. I'd much rather spend $20-25 for something from Cherry Bomb than $60-70 for something that's exactly the same but some company decided to call it a "real resonator".

The reason glasspacks work as better resonators than stock pieces is they have a more universal frequency range. Even the most minor changes to an engine can create a significant change in the exhaust note, and a glasspack will absorb the new frequency about as well as the old one. A fixed frequency resonator would become useless after a shift like that, as the exhaust note would then be outside it's tuned frequency range.

I cant believe im going to type this:

Thanks for the info Jimmyz.

Let's review...

Facts - 1

I know you may think that name calling makes your argument valid, but even duaLife says it doesn't. Ask him.

JimmyZ, Its ok, he's just pissed that he over payed. No worries.

i just bought that 25" the otehr day from summit. i had it put on yesterday and it fit pretty good. definitely lowered the amount of noise inside the car.
