to those who already upgraded they're muffler from stock to free flowing aftermarket mufflers did you remove the resonator and put up just a straight pipe all the way?

I left mine in, it makes the sound much less raspy. I went as far as to add a resonator on an aftermarket catback that didn't have one because they sound so much better :thumb:

are you using your stock resonators or are there aftermarket resonators?

A 2.25-2.5" midpipe with a muffler in it is about as loud as a stock 1.75-2" midpipe without one.
Keep that in mind, and you won't be disappointed.

The only effective way to muffle the sound is by adding a turbo... takes off about a quarter of the noise ;)

I almost bought one from http://kteller.com before I got a used exhaust.

do aftermarket muffler manufacturers has resonators also?

is it ok to get resonators from a different brand or much better to get from the same brand.
