i’m going to be making my own 2.5 cat-back exhaust for my turbo project. i was going to use the magnaflow muffler #14416. my question is do i need a resonator? i know that a turbo will quiet the exhaust tone by itself, and i’m just curious how loud this will be. i’m also stuck on what to do about a cat. i’ve been reading a lot and it seems even “high flow” cats still block the exhaust flow. i guess i could do the “weld on cat cover to testpipe trick”. opinions/advise?
thanx
How are you making just a cat-back for you turbo exhaust? Especially if you don’t even know if you are going to use a cat? Anyway, from my experiences a nice resonator will give the car a nice tone, but it’s not necessary by any means. I’m running just a resonator and small hi-flow cat on my car with no muffler. It’s loud, but not obnoxious by any means.

thats why i’m asking for sugestions…i’m going to leave it long where the cat would be so i can always just cut it down.
thanx
Do you already have a downpipe made? If not you have to make the whole exhaust from the downpipe coming off of the turbo all the way back. Alot of people use a flex pipe after the downpipe, then a cat (if you plan to use one), resonator, and muffler.

oh yeah i know man…this thread was mainly about the exhaust portion of the piping(downpipe back)…
thanx!
i have 6 in exhuast out of my turbo… (6 inches long, 2.5 wide)
it is very loud and almsot hurts ur ears when u go up hills
Okay… how does that help him at all. Of course it’s loud…
I would elave the cat out tho, and run a 18" or longer resonator. a straight through one, and also coupled with the Magnaflow muffler will make it sound great.

cool, thanx! any thoughts on where to pick up a resonator? i checked ebay and i didn’t see much. i guess i could check my local exhaust shops or something.
