Resonator installed:

So as some may already know, I am installing DTLT headers this week. Well, knowing that running no Cats at all, will make my truck louder than it already is, not to leave out kind of Obnoxios LOL.. I went and had a Vibrant Resonator installed at my local Exh. shop.

Tel you what, if it were not for the DTLTs being delivered tomorrow , this would be a big mistake. I like hearing the exhaust note when I drive. Just seems nice that way. Well with this resonator, in the cab sounds like stock. If you rev it you hear a slight rumble, but very discrete.

Here are some pics:




Soo, with it quieting down my JBA Headers w/URD Y Pipe, I am hoping that this set up with DTLT's will match up just perfect. Not to quite, not too loud.

All about Balance

I would post sound bit, but hard to replicate a before and after. JHODGE, can valge that my exh. was pretty loud. I would say im about even with his set up; all stock except Magnaflow in back.

Anyone interested in killing the DTLT rasp: the Vibrant Ultra Quite 10", 2.25 in/out should be your medicine. Will post a sound bite of before and after the DTLT's

But for anyone looking through this thread:

Installed Long tubes today. Awesome setup. Very professional work on these headers. Easy fit, and everything lined up just perfect.

As for the loudness, I got to say, if I did not have the resonator, I would not be able to handle it. It is a very aggressive note, lots more than the JBA's. WOT is nuts, and truck pulls very hard above 3000rpm.

There is howerver a slight rasp still. I guess its from the air pulsating out the straight tubes, into the catless Y-pipe. Only noticeable at certain rpms though. I will give it more time to break in. If still the same, I might have to consider ypipe Cat mod in the future.

nice setup. shoot a clip so we can hear what it sounds like.

 

Will do, just got to break in a little tommorow, then retourqe everything.

 

not to jump in and steal the thread but i wanted to post a clip of my setup which is basically the same as youre w/o the resonator....

 

Do you have DTLT's & Y-pipe?

I love the sound, Just getting anoyed by a slight rasp in the pipes. Not out the muffler, but more like air in the pipes, and when I let off the gas, you can hear sort of like a blow off valve. Checked everywhere, no leaks.

Im thinking of putting back stock Y-pipe. Thinking the two dont match up for N/A setup

 

just saw this thread. damn that looks nice! i was thinkin bout puttin in a 2nd muffler but that resonator looks nice. cant wait to hear how it sounds. hows that x1 treatin u

 

Did not come in yet. Kind of pissed. Thought it was shipped with headers, but apparently it was sent from APR themselves.

But oh well, So for now I use my scanguage to erase the CEL, LOL... it will return.

Will post before and after in a minute.

BTW, you were correct on Rasp w/Y-pipe. Bit the bullet, and odered the Pipe Bomb. Now to put up my URD Y-pipe F/S

 

looks like a kickass install Eddie!!! cant wait to hear it in april at uwharrie!

 

youll like the pipe bomb. im sure you wont have a problem sellin ur y-pipe

 

JBA w/URD Y-PIPE & Resonator:



And w/DTLT's:


If you listen really closely, when I film under my truck, you will hear that slight his when letting off the throttle. Thats the rasp, and it worst when at WOT in gear.

 

yea i do have the URD y and the DTLT's. post up sound clips when oyu get the pipe bomb

 

Just installed dt long headers and pipe bomb with gibson catback....very raspy between 2 and 3k rpms........put stock can back on and its still there. This sound is getting to me.......anyone got rid of this raspy rattle????

 

Add a resonator..
