Here's my problem. i have a tanabe tuner medalion muffler with custom 2.25" piping. i replaced the stock resonator with a bullet resonator and my exhaust is still too loud for my liking (with the silencer BTW). what can i do to decrease the loudness of it? i've come up with 3 solutions. Replace bullet resonator with stock resonator, get another resonator somwhere in the exhaust line, or just get a new quieter muffler. i don't really want to get rid of my muffler because i love the way it sounds and looks. the gains with silencer on are decent too. any opinions appreciated.

hmmmm how about putting the stock resonator back and putting the bullet somewhere else in the piping?

the tanabe muffler is going to be loud pretty much any way you go. id just get something different if i were you.

I think if you get another resonator of put the stock one back in you'll probably be happier.

not unless i opt to go for the tanabe hyper. should sound the same and hopefully be quieter. sucks because i got a good deal on the muffler.

would a tanabe muffler on a magnaflow pipe sound the same as if it was a full tanabe cat back? With even the magnaflow res?

i don't know ...the other thing i don't get is my exhuast isn't loud all the time. some days it does others it doesn't. why is that?

yeh try putting back on the stock resonator instead of the bullet...that should probably do it, if not you can add on another resonator

well i wanna make sure it's gonna work because i don't wanna pay the shop to do pointless work that's gonna cost me money.

damn i don't want to buy a brand new muffler unless i can sell mine and that's not going to well if i don't get another muffler i'm gonna install the stock resonator back on. i don't care if it disrupts the flow of the exhaust a bit because i might get some low end back from it. the only thing is that stupid stock resonator is heavy...

WHere did you get your res from and how much was it, i may have to get one for my exhaust depending on the sound.
