replaced the muffler with a vibrant ultra quiet resonator



Sounds pretty nice but drones at 2k and a tad bit too loud for my liking. Would have loved it maybe 4-5 years ago. Gonna let it settle in and if its still a bit too loud im gonna replace it with a vibrant muffler.

Nice setup! I did mine at GT customs as well...they do really good work and the guys there are very nice. I opted for the vibrant muffler however on an m235i.

Yea im going back this saturday to change it for the vibrant muffler. noticed the resonator sounding better and less loud now after a few days but then i think overall i would prefer a muffler since i kinda feel like its too deep and loud, need to muffle some low frequency waves.

Nice. Curious to find out what the sound difference would be comparing a resonator to a muffler because I was originally going to only do a resonator without muffler.

Here's the transition. More subtle but keeps the aggressive notes. Gotta wait for it to break in.

Hey qJai, do you have any videos of how it sounds? I'm thinking of getting rid of the muffler delete I have (it's really hack) for a more proper setup.
