Resonator reccomendations anyone? For 2.5" exhaust, Techtonics DP, E-Code TP, Magnaflow muffler
Anyone got anything to reccommend? I am getting piping bent from the DP back to the muffler, and NEED something in there. Right now I have no resonator (ghetto rigged exhaust) with the Magnaflow and it is unbearable. Any opinions on what to go with? How long, brand, etc?

I had just about the same set up. I will ask my mech. what resonator he used. by the way....
how's the car running? Are you still glad you got the K04 "FX" hammer set up. If you could give me a brief update on what you think. I remember you saying that it pulled a lot harder then the regular k03 GIAC X chip that you had in there. Is that still your opinion? Thanks man. I plan on getting your same set up in June or July.

Well... here's the situation.
At first the car was insane. Then... I started to develop boost problems. I still haven't figured it out... to be honest.... I haven't really even tried. I've been too busy. But I THINK i've figured out that it is MOST LIKELY the n75 valve causing the problem, so I'm going to replace it with an n75-F valve (upgraded version of the stock "c" valve) and hopefully that will cover it. Otherwise, I might need to switch out the DV or the FPR.
The issue that I'm having is that MOST OF THE TIME the car won't boost. It's like it's in limp mode and will only boost 8PSI exactly every time. Then on another day, the car will boost fine and it will be super fast, so I don't exactly know what is causing it. I'm pretty sure it isn't the software that's the problem though, which is a good thing.
Anyway, hope that helps. How do you like the sound of your exhaust? I'm looking for something MUCH more quiet... is yours very loud? If you could talk to your mechanic and find out what type of resonator you used that'd be awesome. Thanks man!
