So I recently added a MBRP muffler delete axle back to my Mustang. I love the way it sounds. (I tend to like it a bit on the loud side.)

My question..... How much sound muffling does the suitcase resonator actually do? I would really like to add an H-Pipe in place of the stock resonator.
My only real concern is my neighbors as I live in a condo with underground parking.

Also, how much if any HP does deleting the resonator free up?

Thanks in advance!

It does quite a lot for sound reduction. Replacing with an X-pipe or H-pipe will provide an almost immeasurable power change. I'd keep it or go with the magnaflow resonated X-pipe (CJ Pony Parts has a cut and clamp one) with a muffler delete. The resonated X-pipe sounds better than the suitcase, IMO. It has no rasp but improves the tone, particularly at higher rpm.

Sounds good, thanks for the response!

I just put an h-pipe on my 18 and when i start it up in my garage on cold start its pretty loud. I would imaging without any mufflers you will be waking people up.

AFAIK that's just an H pipe in a box. It's still going to be much louder than the suitcase.

I can tell you I have the Corsa Xtreme and just reinstalled the resonator, man it is so bloody quiet now haha I hate it.

Only did it because I'm selling the car, and it was too loud for most people with the x pipe. And I will transfer that to my next car with active mufflers

I had an H pipe 1st, then added resonators to the H, then X, now MF Tru Flow X. The Tru Flow X rocks.

A lot. That is why I am leaving exhaust factory stock. The 18 to me needs no aftermarket add on’s. Nice change.

Would the Magnaflow resonated X pipe make the car quieter or louder? Maybe even the same sound as the suitcase?

The Magnaflow seems like a reasonable solution. I just don't want it to quiet my Mustang down! :D
