kevingo Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hi guys, thinking of getting my resonator deleted for more growl and louder exhuast. i will be getting an intake in the future as well so wondering if anyone in VIC has done this, either with stock intake or aftermarket, and your input on this. heard a few clips on youtube and it sounds awesome but worried it might be different in person is there much drone? love it? hate it? where you got it done? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2sty1 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hey, i got a resonator delete and its nothing really special. It's a little louder from the outside and only when you're standing at the back of the car, but from inside the car there is no difference to the sound. If you want loud and cheap I would just get a muffler delete. I can tell you, resonator + muffler delete is F***ING loud and raspy when over 4000RPM, also lots of drone in the cabin HAHA but all fun at the end of the day :)) But then again, I would say save your money and just get the intake because it gives you a WAY better sound (but only when you're over 3500 RPM and more than 1/2 throttle, if you slowly creep up the RPM's you most likely wont be able to hear it) The intake gives the car a nice growl when you're punching it, but then its quite when youre just "normal" driving through traffic and what not. Also, if you really want to do the resonator delete, any exhaust shop can do it cos its just cutting the resonator out and replacing it with a section of piping. Hope this helped you.Also, I'm going to be selling my Intake soon let me know if you're interested, I live in Melbourne but my 250 is in Sydney but will be sold within the next few weeks so gonna part out some stuff i have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR2QIK Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I have a resonator delete & intake. The exhaust isn't loud at all & just has that little something extra under load. Compliments the intake sound. If you want something you'll notice all the time, I'd get an axle back exhaust. In my case, I'm happy with it. Sounds stock/quiet commuting around with a nice sound from the outside under load. Don't go off the vids on youtube etc, it's an inaccurate gauge since they're free revving to redline from idle/standstill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
