Do you know which resonator was used? I am considering using a Vibrant Performance or 1320 Performance "ultra quiet" resonator. I would like to retain the original characteristics of the exhaust as much as possible.

I ended up using a 3 inch ultra quiet resonator from vibrant performance and it worked out really well.

I got my SS repaired a few years ago and the repaired welds broke off again. When you cut it open, make sure they lay down a solid bead across the pipe and not just tack it again. The tacks will break. Also buy some fiber glass packing - when we cut mine open, it almost looked like half the packing was blown out.

Someone asked me how the 70mm ASM sounds with the resonator replaced so I figured I'd record the sound and share it for anyone else interested.


Here is how the exhaust looks after the resonator was replaced. It's not pretty but it works.
