Thrush's 28" (Model 24214)
or
LCEngineering's 24" (without inlet/outlet)
or
LCEngineering's 18" (without inlet/outlet)
I'm hesitant to go the secondary cat route mainly because I'm not sure about how much quieter the cat would actually make the car. Cats are not actually designed to make things quieter (it's a by-product of the air restriction they impose), not to mention 3-5 times more expensive than the far-bigger resonators.
While I have no first-hand experience with any of the above 3, as long as they actually fit, I'm assuming the increased length will result in far superior drone reduction and volume reduction. |
I think the glasspack will make your system sound raspy, so you want to avoid that route. I installed a test pipe without a CAT and the sound did increase, so I am assuming that CATS do add some type of sound suppression. I actually have been underneath my car and taken measurements, because I am planning my on custom exhaust, you have enough room to add a 24" Lg resonator, but you would have to replace the one that you have on now. BUT if you have the 18" Lg vibrant resonator, that would make things really complicated. You could get the 24" and replace the 18" and then sell the vibrant one. It would be a shame to see the vibrant resonator go to waste. I would wait a bit until someone post up a review/video of what the SRT exhaust sounds like with the cat and bigger resonator.
