    So, bc my car is a sleeper i like to keep her quiet as possible. Having TOG headers and a 3" downpipe really opens up flow but having the stock muffler may be restricting a lil air. Though the stock muffler keeps my car stealthy and pretty quiet(which is what i really want), im now thinking of a more free flowing muffler(probably the dynomax VT, sounds good on my LS).

    Now bc most after market mufflers will allow more sound, im thinking of adding another resonator to help keep it quiet. Has anybody ever tried two resonators?

    Pros or Cons??? I know resonators arent usually restrictive but I know the louvered ones could be a lil more restrictive compared to the perforated ones


    Thanks...

    Are you over or around 350~ WHP?

    If not...then no...the factory catback, mufflers and all...doesn't become restrictive until that point.

    Cool, i figured that which is why i left the stock muffler on when i did the headers and downpipe alongside it being the most quiet. Im really more concerned if the the stock resonator is louvered or perforated style.

    Does anybody know? Though i do have a glass pack resonator(if i can remember right), its been so long since i did my exhaust that i cant even remember if thats louvered or perforated either.
