if your going to go with resonators still i would go ahead and completely ditch the stock ypipe and install a magnaflow x muffler. check this thread out. its the same muffler Fast intentions uses on their system, and guys have installed this to replace their ypipe and resinators. it gives no drone or rasp and a deeper note.

Performance peddler has them for under 80 bucks with the code when you add it to the cart

Magnaflow 11385

do a little more searching and you will find people have had pretty good luck with these

 

I did see this tread when he was doing it becasue at the time I had HFC's-- but I do not or WILL NEVER AGAIN install HFC's. If that matters.. But this is better option than resonators?

 

^ from a performance standpoint, supposedly yes. The stock y-pipe, from what i've gathered, is rather restrictive. The Magna's open it up some. Between this and new cans in the back, the former is better suited for gains.

Austin, do you think it's okay to have the Magna's further up, nearer the engine? Because of my 6pt brace, it won't fit over the middle brace (in that pic you posted, they removed it altogether). If it can move up a few inches, the area without the heat shields, it would fit, but not sure how that affects anything else (my guess is, engine>cats>magna's would make for a really tight bend)

Thanks.

 

Well my Factory tunnel brace fits no problems with the Magnaflow on the FI system, i wouldnt see an issue having it up closer, but especially if youre an X it would have some extra bending to do around that transfer case. im sure any reputable Exhaust shop could make it work to fit and sit up high enough to clear your brace no problem.

 

Thanks! I'll have to find another shop, the last two i brought mine to, to install the Magna's, couldn't do it for a variety of reasons.

OP, sorry for the thread jack. I'll stop now

 

No problem man so of this stuff is helping, Like using a Magna instead of the resonators.

 

it will be cheaper and more efficent than using regular resinators. if your not going to replace the ypipe theres really no point in replacing the resinators either.

 

I was think on replacing the stock Y pipe, But was not sure what is was going to cost? But maybe I can keep it at $175 and use the magna instead of 2 resonators? I will call them today and see,

 

yes you def dont want to use 2 res and the magna.

 

OK will be just using the Magnaflow 11385, Hope all goes well tomorrow AM.

 

working a double all day tomorrow. wont make it. have fun man

 

Ug a double no worries man. At the shop now. Got here at 8. Wife was like where you going? LOL

 

haha how is it going so far? post pics..;-D

 

im all for the budget too, but from the looks, it reminds me of a ricer exhaust (fart cans) post sound clips when your done bro.

 

The sound is awesome!!!! Just waiting for my youtube video to download off my phone
