- Mon Mar 08, 2010 2:35 am #179757 ok sooo, im looking to quieten down my exhaust and i know a resonator will do the trick, but i keep seeing test pipes mixed in with them.. does a test pipe do the same thing as a resonator? also, will a high-flow resonator quieten my exhaust as much a a regular resonator?

which one do you all think will be a better resonator based on performance vs. quietness:

Get the longest resonator you can, 18" long will be a little more effective than 14" long. The 18" one is 2.5" though and the 14" one is 2.25".
What's your exhaust setup?
