My Ride: See sig :)

all resonators do is supress some of the sound, will not effect back pressure

didn't vegastrashed add a bullet resonator on his e63 to cut the droning some time back?

I loved the sound of the Rentech exhaust too much to put the bullet resonators on. So, I have been living with the drone around 1500 - 2000 rpm, albeit slightly less pronounced than before. I contribute the lower resonance to the RPI ram air scoops I have on the car or more likely, that I just got used to the drone and it doesn't bother as much anymore.
