I got a borla xr-1 muffler, not any cheapo crap muffler... I'm pretty frustrated w it

Ehehe
Oh yeah! I having the same problem....

I waiting the arrive of not one but TWO resonators...
I choose this ones:




I hope this low down the rasp and volume.

hmm... Where did you get that from? does anyone know any GOOD brands of resonators?? I was going to get one off of summitracing.com but if there is a GOOD brand? I thought borla was supposed to be good but now I'm thinking about replacing my muffler too

Borla is supposed to be decent. But if your not running a resonator its going to sound like ass. When I was getting quotes around here one guy said that I didnt need one, strongly recomended that I didnt have to get one. I left and went somewhere else. Found a good place, The guy knows exactly what I want and recommends a resonator. I figure hes pretty good, there is a PT club here tht takes their exhaust stuff to him. Seems honest too, unlike the other one (told me he could have it up and running in 1/2 hour max....dont know if i trust my stuff to be done that quick.)

Yeah, I just bought 2 of the same resonators that were posted above. I went through a few forums and it was recommended that 2 would sound best. So I'm going to get those thrown on ASAP and hope for a significant change. and you're right ^ it does sound like a$$

VERY nice choice. I love Aero mufflers/resonators.

From here: www.aeroexhaust.com/



Now my doubt is ...

Whats is the correct way to install 2 resonators ??
One near other? ...leave some good space between ?

I found another site that sells um for cheaper and w free shipping. and I Imagine I'll leave space but I'll let my exhaust guy do his thing I'm sure he knows what would be best

Thinking of getting a 3" piping, magnaflow hi-flow cat, vibrant 18" super quiet resonator, and probably magnaflow muffler....think this will be a good setup for the 3s-gte?

Sounds perfect, that's very similar to the exact setup that I run on all of my 3S Celicas, and they sound AWESOME.

alright so I bought a couple of the ar25 aero resonators and then after realized they're on backorder. can someone recommend me a good brand or resonator to buy, I HAVE to get something done FAST!!!

OWWWWWWW!!


I get my 2x aero 20 resonator today!!



I went to my local shop to solder them in!
1 hour work...
And result is!!!....:
THIS WAS NIGHT TO DAY CHANGE.....
Perfect deep bass sound.. Looks very like OEM Sound in low RPM.
But you get in 3.5K RPM...You can hear a deep cool bass sound..

PERFECTT!!!
Now i can enjoy calm weekend drives with my girl in highway and later in day go with some buddys to RACELAND

^Diddo!!! I just got mine done yesterday and OMG complete difference.. I can hear myself think in my car once again! I can actually think in my car once again!! And highway drives are torturous anymore! But has a great deep bass sound still! My car doesn't sound like a cheapo ricer anymore ha!

BTW how much did it cost you to get them welded on to your exhaust??

tweak, do you have a video of this? i would love to hear what it sounds like...im thinking of going with a 3" to a magnaflow resignator to a HKS muffler

Just wondering if anyone can help me out... I just dropped headers into my 5sf but I had to take my cat out... Is there any way that my cat can bolt back on while my headers stay in? My car sounds a little riced right now. Or should I just scoop an Apexi N1 universal muffler and run some 2.5" piping and leave the cat out?

Since you have a 5s the cat is pieced together with the factory manifold. And the header you bought obviously comes without. If all youve got is a header and factory exhaust I really can't imagine how the exhaust can sound rice. If you add a muffler and piping with no res and cat your going to sound even riceier. Now I am running a 3" DP 3" exhaust all the way back and its pretty loud, but I have that loud grumble. Lets say I were to add a resonator the car would sound amazing.

i have also heard that the ebay header with stock exhaust will sound a bit ricey...
a couple quick questions for you guys,
do all 6gc's with the 5sfe have 2 cats, or just the cali-spec ones?
does the surewin (ebay) header for the 5sfe replace both cats or just one?

only california 6gc's have 2 cat converters. The main converter is located right inside of the headers. and 2nd cat converter is under the car obviously

all celi's have 2 cats. at least mine did i'm on obviously not from cali. One in the header and one on the exhaust, and the ebay header removes the first cat since you are removing the stock manifold. And yeah with a stock exhaust it does sound a lil ricey..

I don't see why it would sound ricey, it might be slightly louder because you've removed a cat but that's about it.

All 5S-FE's have two cats, and the Surewin (as well as all Ebay headers) remove the first primary cat.

Elastikman - Any sound clips? I'd love to hear it.
