Not another exhaust question?

Hello all,

I bought a Milian cat back exhaust system from the UK and although it sounds pretty good (lots of burbles and pops in sport), the drone is unbearable. I do not have a resonator. Does anyone know if adding the resonator back would get rid of the drone but not affect the burbles & pops? If so, any resonator suggestions?

I would add a resonator up near the front of the car maybe where the factory resonator secondary cat was. Yes it will reduce the drone. You will still have some but it will go down a bit.

I think you might be 2.75 on that system, double check.

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-vibrant-...tor/17970~vbp/ is maybe too big at 3,5"

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-vibrant-...ody/17950~vbp/ 3"

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-vibrant-...h/vib1142~vbp/ 3"

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-vibrant-...e--space-~vbp/ 2.5"

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-vibrant-...long/1793~vbp/ 2.5"

All our other universal are dual pipes. Too wide.

Burble & Pops

I suppose now my question would be if you were to put a resonator back on would it diminish the burble & pops?
