Toning down exhaust with headers

[Ryan_s550]

I ended up using what is essentially a Magnaflow street axle back with two JMD tubes 16" resonators behind a X pipe. I am really pleased with the results. It has a deeper and smoother sound with less volume when compared to the Corsa setup. I wouldn't say it is quiet, but it's not a really aggressive sounding setup. If you have any other questions about is feel free to ask or send me a PM.

I fitted a Corsa xtreme, now I’m going for long tubes with green cat.. I get the noise is going to be excessive for 99% of the population. So do you install the bullet resonators before or after the Xpipes (or double X in this instance)? What difference does it make to the sound? TIA

After and it refines the crazy rasp more than anything. It reduces the volume some, but not a lot. Will still be ungodly loud above 5k rpm.

You would have to go with the larger resonators at the front of the X to really lower the volume.

Starting from the rear, just after mufflers in the straight area, the 1794 fit perfectly. Those are 3" in and out and 12" long. Not my car but exactly where I put mine.

Same with mine too. Perfect spot.

Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated.

Here's the setup I ended up using. Its a stainless x pipe with 16" JMD Tubes resonators and a Magnaflow street axle back. I'm very pleased with it overall.

Looks good, Bryan. We'd love to hear a sound clip of it if you have the chance!

I'm really leaning towards doing this. I have TSP catless longtubes to Borla ATAK's, but hackin up my 1300 dollar exhaust doesn't sit well with me...

I only have one clip currently and the file is to large to upload on here. I'll have to get another clip

Can you put it on YouTube?

Corsa Extremes on stock was great. After adding catted ARH LTH was insane. Have a whole thread on here about toning it down. Ended up adding Vibrant 1794s 12" on right between the mufflers and the bend. Night and day difference. 3" in and out.

Having the same problem here. Texas Speed cat less headers into corsa x pipe then corsa active sport-extreme axle back and the volume was insane. Ear deafening to drive it even aggressively in any mode.

Looking for solutions.

Did the vibrant resonators quiet it down enough?

I am currently leaning towards a Stock active axle back to quiet things down

The vibrants brought it down quite a bit but more importantly killed the trumpety tone that the combination caused. I ultimately cut off the Corsas and vibrants as the low and mid rpms was too quiet. I added the AWE Touring read section. Had more character in the low rpms and still screamed up top. And no annoying trumpety tone.

These are the vibrant 1794 correct?
I have kooks LTH green catted into H- pipe with 20in MBRP resonators with the the mbrp race series exhaust and it’s VERY loud. The resonators did help a lot with drone but didn’t lower the volume much. Gonna try adding these vibrant where this pics shows and see if it helps.
Thanks

Correct the 1794s are 12" long and 3" in and out. Helped with volume and to kill the trumpety tone that the Corsa Xtremes had when adding long tubes.
