Stock Resonator Needed or Aftermarket Options

Before I add my ARH Long Tubes w/cats I'm pretty sure I want to add back a resonator. Running the C63 mufflers does wake the car up. Right now I have no secondary cats or resonator. I'm afraid that when adding the Long Tubes that even with the 200 cell cats it will be a bit much.

1- Does anyone have a stock resonator they want to part with
2- Any suggestions for an aftermarket vibrant resonator to look at

So speaking from experience here, the stock resonator is two straight pipes with some holes in them surrounded by some sound deadening. I dont think you'll see much results from adding one back but if you want to a similar alternative would be to run two glasspacks instead... they're basically the same thing.

Thanks. Like our stock E55 mufflers I figured the stock resonator would be very sound deadening. I looked at ultra quiet vibrant resonators, but I question if these would fit.

I talked to a guy that went with the vibrant ones and said he was happy. I never got any sound clips or pics though. I think my stock one is in the attic but I'll have to check.
