Has anyone tried using the stock resonator with an after market muffler and DP? The REV9 is attractive because of the cost but the sound level is a deterrent. I see everyone trying an aftermarket resonator, but it seems like the stock part would be most effective for sound control.
The OEM resonator does absolutely nothing with an aftermarket downpipe. The people you see “trying” stuff either don’t listen because they have to learn the hard way or don’t want to spend the money to achieve the sound they’re after (wanting TBE sound for DP only money).
I show the difference in internal design between OEM and Vibrant in this video.
