Does a resonator delete drone?
Hello 2er's,
Question for the guys/gals that have done a resonator delete. Does it drone? I have a MPE and want to add a little more umph in the sound department, but I cannot stand drone. Thoughts? |

Ah sorry misread that other post. Too bad you're not in PA my exhaust is stock and Thompson is having a C&C next weekend. I have all options lined up to listen to. MPE, MPE + Resonator Delete, etc.

I have the MPE and res-delete and I don't notice a drone. Cold start is pretty loud/aggressive, but settles down after a few mins. No regrets, I love it.

The resonator on the 235 is really small. It doesn't make much of a difference when u delete it

Yes and honestly no if you have a reputable muffler shop you trust.

J Pipes remove drone. Use the helmholtz equation to figure out length that is required to reduce or remove drone. I'm using custom J Pipes on mine with custom magnaflo mufflers and I have 0 drone

+1. Very little difference on the MPE. I had mine done at a muffler shop for much less than the Dinan. My car is a cabrio and Dinan said it wouldn't fit so no choice.

As stated before, the resonator is so small that the sound differences are so marginal. Yes, it will be a little louder but you'll have to listen for it. I wouldn't worry about drone.

So deleting the resonator doesn’t really do much if you’ve got the MPE? I’m wanting a bit more burbles during overrun, is there a way to do this? Seems like I hear it more when I’m in comfort more than sport, but revving in sport there is definitely more burbles.
