Exhaust resonator

[thecoug88]

I want to by a resonator cuz my car sounds too ricey...But would i be able to buy just any resonator or does it have to be a specific one....Cuz i was looking on a website and i was gonna get a vibrant high performance resonator the inlet is 2.5 inches and my exhaust itself is 2.5 inches and the resonator is 18 inches long sooo i jus want some facts before i buy one and put it on....Thank you.

As ive said before many a times. (and i expect tim to chime in on that)

The resonator helps SOOOOOOOO much. I just had an 18 inch glasspack welded in, thats it. cost roughly 14 bucks.

it brought all the rasp and tingy rice sound down to a nice clean sound that was just a little higher pitched than my exhaust was with a stock header.

and seeing as you have a hi flow cat, yours will sound even better, i had no cat at all.

BTW - move to the 2.0l section.

[thecoug88]

Thank you very much...Your the only one that likes to help me out lol

[Yofavcracka]

haha, i just did alot of bolt on stuff to the old cougar.

[thecoug88]

Now is it the jus the cherry bomb glasspack muffler or is it an actual resonator...So if i go to the store i should jus by the glasspack muffler right?

My brother has that on his Z as the only muffler, it's a turbo, so there isn't a ton of sound coming out anyway, but it sounds very good, low and powerful

Yea I did the same thing. Went to Pepboys & bought a New CherryBomb Glasspack for $20 & Had the Shop[ weld it on for another $20 ;) Gives the car a nice growl like a 350Z :evil:

[thecoug88]

[thecoug88]

Guess what i got the glasspack welded on and i still got the raspy sound...But jus not as much only when i get on it pretty good...O yea also im never goin to meinike again cuz they charged me 90 bucks to get it welded on and took about 30 min....

No not really I'm like the only Zetec member inside of Texas so it kinda sux :disgust: I'll have to take a vid so that you can hear my exhaust :biggrin:

[zorrex]

Nah, not too many, but I do! Granted, I'm a Contour owner, but it's nearly the same thing ;). I'm going to be putting on a new exhaust soon, an SVT cat-back. I'm not sure what's going on with the tips, though. I'm buying the cat-back off of a friend and he just snapped a pic of the tips, said they were magnaflows, but didn't give me any details :shrug:. I'll probably post a video to let you know how it sounds :)

[Yofavcracka]

thats wierd that u still have rasp. Did they weld it in where i welded mine?

this is what mine sounded like - YouTube - inside car (http://youtube.com/watch?v=pkCmxcWVxRo)

[thecoug88]

It took it away a little bit but not all of it....It doesnt sound bad jus when i really get on it, it does....O well....Yea i wish more ppl had zetecs....

[Yofavcracka]

Well if you think about it.... not many people have cougars anymore. Theyre starting to get to be an older car, however beautiful they are.
