Resonator question....

[gsx6214g63]

I have a 96 gs with 2.5 inch cat-back. It does sound nice but maybe a tad loud (is not rice sounding... a.k.a. no farting). Would a resonator quiet and make the sound deeper and maybe a tad "meaner"? Also, would my performance stay the same? increase? decrease?

Thanks,
Brian

What cat back did you buy, and did it come with a resonator welded in the piping?

If it didn't I'm sure adding one would help sound wise. From what I hear a glass pack is the same thing.

didnt buy one....its totally custom. just went to a shop that i know of a guy who does exhaust and told him i needed 2.5 inch cat-back. Its just 2.5 inch cat-back with a muffler...no resonator as of now.

thanks

Agreed. Most aftermarket bolt-on catback exhaust systems come with a resonator in place already. So, if you get your buddy at the shop to add one in for you between the cat and muffler, your exhaust will sound much better

Glasspack and resonator have some differences. The inside of a resonator looks like a straight through muffler on the inside so it wont hurt performance as long as you stay with the same size piping.
