Default Before and after resonators

Here is a vid comparing before and after resonators/glasspacks installed. I am sure the resonators will get louder after a while.
Before.

So far it's quieter on the hwy. No more blaring /bl-atty sound on the hwy when I accelerate.

I am looking at putting some resonators on, where did they install these? My car is lowered so I am trying to decide which resonators to use and where to weld them on. If you can the get the dimensions of the resonators that would help. Yours did sound a lot cleaner with the resonators.

The resonators listed at 12" but the overal length is about 14" and they are 4" around. The shop said they are Walker resonators. Another popular choice is dynmax race bullets which are about the same size. I had these welded on just the axle. Even though you are lowered, you will be fine putting the resonators/bullet mufflers on. Just be a little cautious going over bumps.

Thanks for the info. Being lowered with a aggressive chin I already avoid any an all the bumps and pot holes I can.
