2nd resonator

Okay so my turboxs is loud as **** and I want to quiet it down, I was thinking about having a second resonator welded in because that would be several hundred cheaper than the RB dual res midpipe.

anyways I was looking at a few . . .

first is the RB link

or

something cheaper that I just found off of google, this may be a bad idea. link

what do you guys think of doing this to quiet it down just a little bit and kill the little drone thats there

Just because you throw a 2nd resonator on there doesn't mean its going to sound good.
I've heard 3 DR mid-pipes in person... the AP, the RB, and the MazSport.
Each one has a different sound, though the RB and MazSport pipes sounded so similar, we needed to hear them side-by-side just to tell the slight difference.
The AP was still loud and annoying.
So what I'm getting at is if you're looking for a quiet sound, don't be disappointed when you add a 2nd resonator and it doesn't sound good or doesn't quiet it down more than you would have liked.

okay thats all I need to know...

Ill just not waste my money on butchering up my current mid pipe and save a few more paychecks and spend the 300+ on the RB or MazSport DR and sell the turboxs one here on the forum.

I dont want to loose all my rumble and I do still want it to be loud just maybe a tad bit quieter without the little drone thats there

^dude... GREGS... is turbo'd with a Dual Resonated Midpipe... Im not sure which midpipe.. but his **** sounds stock at cruising speeds and when he steps on it... its PERFECT. I know turbo'd cars souind different than NA but man...you should look into it... I would go with the RB midpipe anyways...

oh here it is....I'm all over it now because I love the sound of clip #2 as compared to clip #1

glad I decided to post this thread before just ordering a random resonator and slapping it on my current mid pipe
