Can I add helmholtz after muffler?
 
I just added the borla Cat-Back system to my car and along with the unequal length header and the catless front pipe the car drones a lot between 35 and 4500 RPM

There's not much room to work with since my front pipe has two resonators on it already. Is it possible to add a helmholtz chamber after the muffler or will that be of no use?

I have the Borla catback and UEL Header with the factory front pipe. The drone is quite pronounced. I applied sound deadening mat to the trunk area to combat it, with noticeable effect.

Hey can you send some details of the sound deadening mats? I would love to get one as I have a 3" system catless and without any resonators. The Tomei type 80 is loud af

google automotive sound deadening, there are numerous products. most familiar being a roll of insulation with sticky stuff on one side that you line the metal frame with. 'dynamat' being a popular brand, but not the only

I used Stinger RKX36B Roadkill Expert Series Sound Damping. Easy to apply, I recommend using a roller tool to ease and improve the application. I added some to the top of the area where the windshield meets the chassis to prevent rattles from a subwoofer as well, and that did the trick for that situation as well.

Here is a nicely detailed thread post for trunk sound barrier installation:

Scroll past the headliner portion to get to the the trunk portion. I plan to do my trunk this weekend in a similar fashion.
