Works for me. I plan on taking some videos with my GoPro and my DSLR but I dont think it will pick up the frequencies either.

I'm dying to find out what difference the bigger resonator made!

I just did a track day with my SRT exhaust. On the track the sound is amazing. Sadly the drone going and coming from the track were so bad, I feel like I was in a rock concert for two hrs. My ears were ringing...
Its so bad I am taking the exhaust off this weekend, and putting the stock back on. I pm SRT for the larger resonator but have not gotten a response yet. I know they are busy.

Ok, sorry for the delay guys. I had to move some things around with work to be able to head up to SRT yesterday and I've been playing catch up since.

I've got about 250 miles on the new resonator.

Is the drone gone? No. But its much more livable. The "drone window" as I like to call it (the rpm range in which drone is really bad) has shrunk. I find that 65-~73mph in 6th gear still has drone. But 75+ and 65- have zero drone. Before it would drone really bad anywhere from 60mph to 75mph.

The sound of the exhaust itself sounds like it changed slightly. Its deeper, which I like. At WOT it still shines though.

Im pretty confident that a longer resonator will kill all the drone, but its a question of space constraints.

Forgot to add, I would like to apologize to Mo and the guys at SRT for what I posted last week. I was frustrated, and they really don't have a lot of guys at the shop, but they do have tons of work.

Mo is a cool guy to shoot the shit with too, he knows quite a bit about setting up a motor

Sweet did mo say anything about when they are getting more resonators and about the auto

I honestly didnt ask. They had a whole bunch of exhausts built/being built while I was there though.

They are still waiting on a local auto to test the pipe out and last I talked to Mo they are going with a diff distributor or something to get a lower price on the resonators. They will be selling the resonators to early adopters for cost or something like that. I will call him up at some point to see if he will ship the pipe out to me to test if he cannot find a local guy.

So there are still drone from the system? Can you live with it during everyday driving? Is it more quiet now? Do you have any video clip? SRT told the bigger resonator will have zero drone. Quite disappointed.

Yea, the drone is still there. Its a larger diameter resonator, Im sure a longer resonator would kill the drone. But the car doesnt have a whole lot of insulation.

I can live with the drone now since its not nearly as bad as it was.

I took a before clip from inside the cabin, I have yet to take an after clip.

Hells yes.

What's your opinion on it?

[vubaru]

Looking good...how do you like the sound??

Sound kinda sucks, but thats before the resonator was replaced. The GoPro isn't picking up the drone unfortunately. Watch in HD.

I haven't gotten an after video yet, but I have my doubts that it will sound different on video.

:00-:18 is cruising in fourth gear around 40-45mph
:19-:32 is moderate acceleration, shifting around 5k rpms
:33-:45 is acceleration in second gear from around 2k rpms
:46-:57 is WOT in first and part of second

The windows were closed and the a/c was on for the entirety of this video. I plan on posting more videos, and if any of you guys want a specific RPM range or situation for me to capture, speak up.
