Why was he banned? I'm guessing for hating on Vishnu not making nitrous maps lol

I bought these resonators after reading the thread, hoping that it'd quiet everything down a bit. Originally bought my car with vk catless downpipes and eisenmann race quad exhaust (eisenhaus). Got 2 hi-flow cats installed, however it's still quite loud starting up in the morning. Since the cats were installed, there's no room to install midpipes where OP did... basically they're gonna spend few hours to weld it right before the muffler in an odd spot. Will this be worth it? And will it be just as effective being installed right before the muffler? |

Exhaust note has to be fined tuned. You put High flow cats in there and it's still loud but remember the exhaust is loud to begin with. Adding resonators there might get rid of the rasp and I think that's what's making you think your exhaust is loud. At this point just install the resonators and hopefully it will fine tune it to your liking

cn555ic, I have an AT as well but with the Vishnu Exhaust, lots of drone. How is your CPE? Does it drone a lot? Also, did you get the stealth pipes? Probably need to invest in some resonators as well, great post!

I heard his exhaust in person and have some cabin time with him in his car...There is little to no drone with the cpe exhaust but I think it has alot to do with the x-pipe and the location of it and adding the resonators to his catless exhaust makes it almost sound stock like during cruise but when you WOT it definitely has a nice deep tone to it, but like again NO RASP is what you want...Not sure about Vishnu exhaust is it straight pipe to the mufflers, if so resonators would probably just minimize the drone slightly but you will definitely eliminate the rasp if you are catless

Seems like as best I can describe as the "metallic" sound is much more muffled
in the after with the addition of the resonators. Which is good, hear more of the low rumble now than that irritating sound. Where did they end up fitting the resonators in the piping for you? Not to trouble you but I'd love to hear a in cabin video just so I can compare it to my Eisenmann Race. If you can't do that's fine though. You're description about the decreased rattle is enough to spark my interest. The Eisenmann Race does make the rear ashtray and the center compartment in rear seats rattle a bit. |

Thank you for this post!
I have a 135i steptronic with a CP-e exhaust system with resonators AND stealth pipe. At 5th and 6th gear there would be some pretty loud low end cabin drone and a bit of vibration at 1500-2200rpms. Recently just installed the AR catless downpipes and it's even worse now even in 3rd gear. Hopefully these Vibrant resonators would help that....even if it's just a little bit. If not, at least it'll get rid of the rasp lol. With my BMS DCI and the turbo spooling from the downpipes, the rasp makes it sound like there's a huge exhaust leak!

Here is the link about those resonators that you pm me about! I got mine from StreetSideAuto.com but I am sure you can find it elsewhere...At the time this was the cheapest place I found them for 95 shipped and installation cost me about 150 at my exhaust shop
