i agree with you to an extent, my biggest problem at the moment is that when you blow out a resonator it has a tendency to resonate outwards instead if inwards so the massive amount of droning that occurs in the cabin is almost ear splitting, whereas a straight through would be crazy loud outside, but close the windows and all is well

my personal preference to a resonator is the deeper tone it provides, our biggest trouble is we(turbo) create so much heat and pressure among other things that the average resonator cant withstand it for long..which blows

Are you could spend more money and get a couple generic 3" HFC's welded in series, that will quiet it down without causing much restriction as well.

i had considered getting a cherry bomb, i may just try and find something similar to an OE muffler where the baffles are all metal and does not use glasspacks, nothing to deteriorate

i do like the vband idea, almost like a test pipe lol, and the obx unit i have was cheap enough that i could do that

on a minor side note..surprisingly my obx universal unit i bought off of ebay lasted much longer then the magnablow i bought, i feel that had this been the average car i would have never came across an issue again...makes me wonder why they have such a bad rep

heck brian broke his pipe cutters on it
