How do I get my Stainless Works chambered system quieter? Would a resonator help? I was looking at the vibrant 3.5" and Aero turbine 3.5" resonators but I'm not sure which one is better and how much they will help. Also if one makes it quieter would two make it even more quiet? Thanks

Not sure they will help much, cat back exhaust systems are designed to be as loud as possible, for the most part, but I'm no cat back expert.

Ok and most people think sound equals HP but it doesn't so I would like to keep it more free flowing as possible but with out the loadness.

Resonator would prob quite it down a bit. I left my flex and resonator on and just swapped stock muffler for borla s type. Had custom pipes and tips dual out.

I thought it would do something but wasn't sure if two would make it that much quieter. I think the Aero is a few inches longer so I may go with that one.

I'm also trying to see if someone makes a quiet muffler that will work with the system. I like how the system flows and looks over the stock system I'm just not a fan of the noise. A little growl is good so you know when your on the gas.

from my experience on my car, get a long enough resonator and it WILL make a huge difference.
i have 2 on mine, a 22" and the stock one, whatever length it is. no noticeable loss of power, and so much more quiet and enjoyable at low rpm...
still a blast at WOT

Ok thanks so maybe keep the stainless work muffler for now and get the two resonators. I measured the main pipe so I should have pleanty of room to work with. Which resonator did you go with?

i got a Magnaflow because the company I was ordering headers from had them, not sure about the other brands.
The only experience I have with Aeroturbine is their 24?? muffler that was just as bad as no muffler at all !
my car is all straight pipe other than the 2 resonators and muffler, and it's surprisingly quiet at low rpms.
i'd say get whatever decent brand you can get locally, you should be fine.

I talked to magnaflow and they didn't have anything with a 3.5" for me. I'm thinking of doing the Aero as the front one and then a vibrant as the 2nd to add as a pre muffler. My wife is starting to limit my garage time cause of the baby so it probably won't get done till november some time.
