i dunno if this was done before. but i found this vid on youtube. apparently the guy runs a magnaflow res and no muffler.

does that mean low end torque loss?

at first i thought that was dyno's car.. coz of the black grille... but.. the plate location is uhmmmm.. nevermind.. that cant be dynos car..
and ewww a hatchback??? not a big fan of hatchback..

anyway.. u posted a comment on that youtube video... they should reply.. hehe

lol, def wasn't me. Sounds good! The parking garage helps also

bheng

tru that on the parking garage. but it sounds pretty throaty which is what attracted me to it. i might get it done later down the road.

dynomite05

Definitely a nice sound. Would be nice to know exactly what he did

bheng

i am trying to figure out also. but if you have your res sitting around somewhere convenient, do you think you can measure its length out for me? i am trying to find a replacement magnaflow resonator size.

dynomite05

I sold it

M-bENZ

how did u do that ? I want to sell mine too lol.

Resonator + second cats.

Andy

bheng

lol +1 for res after i remove mine.

dynomite05

Traded it to my mechanic for work

bheng

thats a dam good deal lol

05BLACKCLK320

if I remember correctly its 19 1/2" long

M-bENZ

Did you get that measurement from your 320 ? or 500 ? I think its different but not sure thou.

Andy

bheng

damn i am hoping your wrong. most of the magnaflow resonator/mufflers (round type) are 20" in length. rofl. there is a 12 in long version. haha might have to get that.

will i lose power?

M-bENZ

who are you talking to ? LOL.

Andy

bheng

i was referring to him (05blackclk320) as he measured his resonator. as most i saw on the magnaflow website, were 20 in long. there were a couple that are 12" in length.

but was asking you (Andy) if i would lose any power.

haha sorry for any confusion.

or if anyone else would chime in.

M-bENZ

I dont have the answer for this but I dont think so. I remembered read it somewhere someone said we actually gain in the high speed.

Andy

bheng

but i also heard that we would lose low end torque at the same time.

M-bENZ

I dont feel it that way lol. Get the highflow cats and removed your resonator and get back to us how u feel....Gotta pay to play .

Andy

bheng

rofl tru. will do.

edit: found a pic of superbees exhaust. i hope he doesnt mine me taking it for the time being. looks to be just resonated straight pipes.



edit: this is the goal that i will probably never achieve.

but what i was thinking was removing the resonator and replacing with a magnaflow resonator, leaving all the pipes the same for now. not a money issue but i cannot find a youtube video that has just a res replace. i feel that the res delete would seem a bit too raspy esp if i replace the muff. if its not loud enough, i will try the sound without a muff and just the res. lol and if i want it more muffled, add a muffler or maybe another magnaflow resonator cuz they are fairly small, maybe fit it to where the stock muffler is now and run a y pipe to make it go quad =D.
