Default Exhaust tuning N52B30

I finally got my dual exhaust setup done. I deleted the stock resonator and muffler....as expected it's definitely loud. I am curious if adding a pair of Vibrant (1792) bottle resonators will reduce the drone and some decibels?

I don't have a picture of it. Y pipe after the secondary cats, no resonator, and no mufflers. I ordered two Vibrant 12" bottle resonators and will have them installed close to the Y pipe as possible.

Hopefully that will eliminate the drone and lower the decibels a little bit.

Two Vibrant 12" resonators installed today and fixed the nasty exhaust drone. A little bit quieter too with a nice deep tone.

As for my previous reply. There was no Y pipe. Oops! 🥴

It was custom made. The Vibrant resonators are available in many different sizes....2" all the way to 3". See the link below.
