about to pull the trigger on a Vibrant muffler

[e30rapidic]

any pros or cons? I already have a 2.5 exhaust with cat from a previous install behind my old M20. Has a dynomax muffler on it that sounded great at idle but like ass midrange and beyond....I fully expect it would be worse on my S50 so the dynomax is getting cut off.

I know Corvallis loves his Vibrant..anyone else? Kinda limited to the 2.5 inlet and oval body.

Thanks

I have a 2.5" vibrant setup and 12" resonator.....but it's not installed yet. I was talking with E30polak (Chris) and he said they sound amazing. Sorry I could not have any actual experience for you. It's gotta sound better than an S50 running open headers :D

I have a 3" vibrant resonator (not installed yet...) but I've herd them...they sound great and I have to say, I was impressed with the quality of the part I have for the price.

My friend John at horsepower freaks, gave me a tour of shop when I met him...


All the cars pushing 800-1200 HP have vibrant res'r, and mufflers...they sound bad ass :)


and I got them for my swap

I have ebay headers with vibrant 18” resonator and vibrant muffler no cats 3” all the way out on my 98 M3 the car is definitely LOUD and sounds sooo good at WOT at a high RPM.

Just ordered Vibrant dual tip black muffler and resonator. Hope to get it on next week and will give my opinion.

complete setup will be:
raceland headers into single 2.5 inch pipe
high flow cat
12" resonator
vibrant muffler

Fingers crossed that its sounds good without rasp. I followed a fart can civic today, that has to be the most annoying exhaust ever.

Exactly what I went with....mine is scheduled for install early next week. Post sound clips if you beat me :D

I got my vibrant stuff installed today. It sounds great!

I bought a vibrant and a borla muffler. Gonna get it tomorrow. I'll let you know :)

[jackbenny]

Ebay headers -> 2.5" y-pipe -> magnaflow cat -> Borla XR1 (2.5") -> vibrant (2.5")

One day I'll get some video with it under load.

My first 3" set-up:

3" > Monstrous 26" Accelarator Muffler > 3" > 3" Vibrant Street Power Muffler

Not as nice as my 2.5" set-up with the Borla Pro-XS in the middle and Vibrant at the end.

The Vibrant made the exhaust loud, but it's my favorite sounding muffler hands down!

I like the sound in the video clip. Do they sell a much quieter version?

Thanks again for the referral Chris - I'm pretty happy with the setup. May even be a bit quiet for me :D

No, they do sell a "super quiet" resonator, which would work great along with their Street Power Muffler and a high flow Vibrant cat. :D
