Added 2 Resonators To My X-force Twin 2.5"

[gilto]

Well as a few of you know my 2.5" twin X-Force with the quiet mufflers was still too loud for me and a little droney under 2000rpm.

Today I had 2 resonators added to where the flange usually sits. They are straight through 2.5" with a 5" body. They had to be squashed a little to fit properly as you can see in the pic.

The sound clip isn't too great but it has eliminated all the drone and made it quieter. I LOVE the new note, it's not too loud at all and in traffic under 2000rpm it creates no attention at all.

When the turbo comes on though it sounds really sweet....not loud, just powerful.

I'm really happy with it!!!!! The exhaust shop did a great job. $400 including the 2 resonators.....

It sounds louder in the video than in real life............

I'm positive the guys with loud exhausts will think you (and I) are crazy, but I agree it sounds better than the original xforce..

Sounds more refined if that makes sense without sounding like a vacuum cleaner above 2000rpm, but not loud and nobody near you at cruising speed will even know you're there!

What brand resonators are they; do they restrict your performance at all? (did your tuner have an opinion on them)

Sounds alright now... Is that really an XForce system, even with a very blurry picture the welds to middle muffler look real bad and the pipes are press bent.

[gilto]

The exhaust is X-force from the cat-back with the 2 new resonators. The press bends are very minor and are no restriction at the power I am running.

My stock dump would be more restrictive.....

The small press bends are on 2.5" pipe and I'm still running some OEM 2.25" pipe so it's no restriction for me.....

Haven't had a retune yet.....tomorrow morning it's happening so I'll let you know the results........
