the resonator reduced the volume noticeably at all frequencies and got rid of a very annoying resonance at ~2800 rpm.

Default I have a full speaker setup here at work and the entire office is listening to your exhaust.

Sounds so nice. I can't imagine how much louder it is without the resonator.

Default It is a straight pipe section they made for me that I modified. I still have ...

the other section with the square resonator on it. That setup actually sounds pretty cool although it is a bit too quiet for my liking on the highway.
