Just curious if anyone has any sound clips of the Vibrant 1792 bottle-style resonator with a catted downpipe? I'm got a catted IE downpipe. I originally had an Oettinger axleback (with res delete from stock midpipe), but I wanted more grunt/volume. So I went with an Armytrix catback and kept the IE downpipe. The switch from a non-resonated catback section to the resonated Armytrix catback actually resulted in the exhaust being a fair bit quieter, despite the very small Armytrix muffler (I was driving it with the valves open all the time and still wasn't happy with the volume). So I went and deleted the resonator. Sounds much deeper/rougher now, but it sounds little like a tractor at idle with the valves open. I do like the sound at WOT and don't mind a bit of the edginess and rasp. Don't really even mind the drone (and there's quite a bit of it although not undriveable). None really with daily driving with the valves closed.
I guess I'm wondering, could I smoothen out the exhaust tone a bit using a bottle-style resonator Vibrant 1792, as opposed to the larger Vibrant 17950? I've got a Vibrant 17950 in my garage, and tbh it looks almost identical in size/shape to the Armytrix resonator. So I feel it'll sound very similar to the Armytrix resonated catback (and quiet down the exhaust too much). I want to preserve the volume, just make it a bit more smooth/refined if that makes sense. Would the Vibrant 1792 accomplish this without compromising on volume (I know it probably won't be sufficient to reduce drone but that's not why I'd be doing the resonator)?
Video clip; apologize for poor video quality.
I'm looking for your thoughts on the exhaust. honest feedback appreciated. Should I leave it as is?
