resonator needed

[der affe]

i am going to eliminate my cat, but i am looking to replace it with a resonator of some sort (low restriction) to try to keep the noise to about the same level as with the cat maybe a little quieter. i already have shorties, and a brullen cat back. i can fab/weld it myself, no prob. just need suggestions on where and what brand/model.
thanks,
greg

Supersprint makes euro resonators, but they aren't cheap. I understand that they are pretty high flow compared to stock cats.

Just use straight through glass packs. I have a "euro resonator" from racing dynamics - dual in/out, and it is merely a straight through dual glasspack design. Very available, affordable, and easy to use. Many others on this forum have done the same.

If you need madrel bends to do the job, I recommend buying header extensions from summit racing. They are an s shaped pipe, but when cut in half, it equal two mandrel bends. They cost about $20 = 4 mandrel bends. Good deal too.

is it possible to find a dual in/out glasspack, that isnt a overpriced "euro" resonator?

Advance Auto sells straight through glasspacks from Thrush for roughly $25 a piece. Very well made, i accidentally jacked the car up by one when installing them and it left a minor dent. :P

buy 2 glasspacks, they are like 20 bucks

I was planning on doing that, Just seeing what my options are.

dood you should just get a thin duel in out muffler and use that instead of glasspacks, it'll quiet your car down tons more than a cherrybomb type resonator

i was thinking more along those lines since i found out with my jetta when i removed the cat the second res. that i installed burned out alot quicker. i was told that is was from the unburned gas collecting in the glass pack. i was thinking about using a single chamber flowmaster (cheater racing muffler) or maybe a B&B, same design just the baffle plates are pererated for more flow. that way there is nothing to burn out and need replacing. anyone have ideas along that line?

put the glasspack after the resonator
