Maybe I missed it, but did you keep the resonator? I got mine done and we took out the resonator, but I'm thinking of having one put in. A little too much cabin noise for me.

We left the resonator I'm pretty sure. In picture #2 in the OP I believe that is the resonator at the front before the cats and DP.

Thought so, but wasn't sure. Anyway, as I said before, looks and sounds really good!

1bigpea, Is this muffler you installed? I called magnaflow and asked what the individual part number was for the muffler in the Countryman kit they sell and dude said it was this one
Magnaflow 12265 Satin Stainless Steel 2.5" Oval Muffler : Amazon.com : Automotive Magnaflow 12265 Satin Stainless Steel 2.5" Oval Muffler : Amazon.com : Automotive
BTW, I've seen many of your posts and videos and I want to say thanks for the great info you've provided. Thanks again.

Thanks!

That looks like it but I went with the 3" pipe so I'm pretty sure it would be a 3" model. If you're not changing out the pipe size I would say that this would work fine.

I have an appointment tomorrow AM to remove my "silencer" and resonator. I hope that works since removing the 2nd cat has been problematic to do.

I know this is under the CM thread, my bad for asking this question. But the exhaust is so loud lol, since its a custom setup, can adding a resonator calm down the drone a bit? I was looking to add a magnaflow resonator, or is there a better alternative? Thanks.
