Don't remove your resonator and you shouldn't have any interior drone

Tell me more about these resonators. I'm curious because I put a different muffler on the stock pipe on my 08, and I do get a bit of drone at highway speeds. Where is the resonator located on a newer vehicle? And what does it look like? Does it restrict flow through the exhaust?

The Magnaflow cat-back on my first gen is great.

Magnaflow is not going to put a product on the market that drones.

Bought in November and just yesterday I installed it. Do I like it, yes. Nice deep mellow tone idling and if you are accelerating.

Did I enjoy the install, hell no. 4 hours laying on concrete. Biggest ***** was removing the old pipe over the rear axle. Some damn block of steel welded to the tailpipe and had to drag out the reciprocating saw and that was a pain to cut.

Installing new pipe, oh my god, had to lower the rear sway bar, and remove the torque tube that is bolted from the 3rd member to the body. The frame behind the rear end has a very small hole to get up and over.

Oh and Magnaflow does not give you 2 new bolts with nuts to go from the down tube to the muffler and one last problem, one of the two clamps is to small. Not a single parts store has those band clamps in stock. So I bought one off Ebay.

Had a rattle, got under there today and found the heat shield was rubbing the bigger pipe.

I did record the stock muffler sound and I will record the new one and post the video.

Do I recommend this system, yes, but only if you can use a car lift.
