I've got some sort of Vibrant resonator and stock one too. We can drive around so you can hear it if you want. I suspect a 17930 would be even quieter than mine.
I'd like that.

I'm a bit new to the MK7 game but..
I had a APR DP and Magnaflow CBE on my mk6 and it sounded glorious.
I've been hearing people complaining about a DP with stock CBE on the mk7s.
IS this true? HMM
Has anyone added a 17930 and left the stock resonator in place?
Also after doing some digging I was able to find this 2.5 22" resonator, what do you think, Jake?

I currently just have a muffler delete but am now thinking of replacing the resonator. Currently the car has a bit of drone in the high RPM's and downshifts. I like the volume I'm getting over stock setup except for the tiny bit of drone.
Question is, should I replace my resonator with a larger one or add something? My goal is to eliminate all/most drone but keep the volume I have.[/QUOTE
Replace stock with vibrant 17950. I sell a bolt on version if you’re interested. It’ll deepen the tone, kill drone, and slightly lower volume but there’s no getting around that

Downpipe will always require a resonator upgrade regardless of which CBE you have on a mk7.
Supposedly the only exception to this rule is IE and AWE downpipes that use the factory cat location very close to the turbo
I have the exact same set up on the mk7 and it is even more glorious than before. Some would call it droney though but it sounds amazing from outside.
Inside on the highway it’s too much for most people.
A very similar example with be a awe track with a downpipe. Great (loud) aggressive sound but at the cost of drone

It’s the same one as the mk7. I got mine from siliconehoses on eBay and it fit just fine.

Ok thanks, I really just want it to be slightly louder than stock but to also have some burbles and crackles/DSG pops.
Anyone have a video with muffler delete and Vibrant 17950?
My current thinking is IE DP, Vibrant 17930, XX, CSS muffler to get the sound I want. What would you recommend in place of XX to lower volume just a tiny bit, would the Vibrant 1141 res do anything to muffle sound more?Nope and nope. Just a vibrant 17950 or 17930

Slightly, you can put it in the spot next to the fuel tank. Also, add a hanger there too you already have the side mounted to the subframe for other MQB cars
Note that it’ll be a small muffler in that location. This will NOT help with drone for any one getting crazy ideas lol
This is about what I’m considering as well. CSS with downpipe, I don’t want drone, but I also don’t want it to be too loud. Ideally, the sound of just the CSS, but with the added power from the downpipe. Would you recommend this same move?
