Installing 2 vibrant performance resonators (hoping to fix the drone issue)

my muffler and resonator delete was way to raspy and drones, so I'm hoping to fix it all with these 2 12'' vibrant performance bottle style resonators, enjoy!!

You will never get rid of drone with a loud car, it’s just the harsh reality of having no mufflers or no resonators. You will never get loud outside & quiet inside when you replace OEM exhaust components for louder aftermarket components.

[@collintaylor4127]

Yeah I'm beginning to learn this. Always had trucks and they never had any drone issues but now that I've switched over to a 5.0 mustang gt I'm trying a few things and it's gotten better though

Helmholtz resonators fix this

[@louvendran7273]

45cm resonators are a good starting point or as you say in King Henry's measures 18"

[@30YearOldBunta]

I used a vibrant racing muffler and it helped tremendously. Added some nice low end torque too.

[@ericmichel3857]

A Helmholtz resonator (J pipe) would definitely fix your drone issue. I just went through this with my car, even did the Vibrant resonators and found the same thing, helped with some rasp issues but did absolutely nothing for the drone. The thing is with the helmholtz you have to get the length just right for maximum effect. There are all sorts of calculations you will find, the problem is there are so many variables they will not give you the ideal length. I found just a 2-3 inch change can make a huge difference. I new it would be somewhere between 30 to 48 inches, fortunately my car is a single exhaust and I had plenty of room to add a long J pipe. So I used a slightly narrower pipe with a band clamp so I could experiment with different lengths. It immediately helped but still not enough, I went to extremes and did not notice much difference, then I started doing smaller increments and when I got to around 42 inches it all of a sudden was a night and day difference. I really think this is the way to do it, folks that pick one fixed length right off the bat based off of some arbitrary values is most likely not going to give the best results. However if you get the length right the results are very impressive. The problem with your situation is I don't see where you have room . A muffler will certainly work, but will also kill most of the sound you are after. That is what is so great about the Helmholts option, it is very frequency selective, so you can get rid of the drone and still have most of the sound you want. You just need to find the space.

[@Scoupe400]

This sounds right. It’ll be a frequency related issue, like I’ve posted. Interesting product you’ve found there.

[@collinsavunen5306]

Resonators don't do much at idle. They typically target the higher rpm rasp.

How to eliminate low rpms drone on load

[@Trini_Gemini]

Hey! I recently installed catless downpipes on my N54 e92 with a aftermarket catback exhaust. Increased power and turbo spool but killed my exhaust note. I am going to be pursuing some Vibrant Resonators but which model did you use? 1794?

[@vincentlau8876]

For your set up(without re-doing anything else), 2x - Vibrant Ultra Quiet 1142 Resonators would be a better choice over their bottles.

[@manuelthodos5925]

The 3in on the resonators is actually 3 in ID or inner diameter meaning they slide over 3in OD or outer diameter pipe.

[@johnnynguyen8337]

Vibrant Ultra Quiet for the rasp and dB. J pipe/Helmholtz pipe for the drone.

[@zubuxstein]

Agreed with the removal of the seats noise. On my car, the drone is unbearable only with the center rear armrest door open. I cannot imagine with the seats removed. I would put another set of resonators as mufflers, checkout Aero resonators, TR line.

I can't wait to these installed so I can tone down my really loud flowmaster super 10s along with HFC, there's also some drone so hopefully these will help

[@nikk.8792]

Hey man, consider adding a set of hemholtz resonators, 1/4 turn pipes. At what rpm range are you experiencing the drone? I will look for the equation that'll give you an idea of the required pipe length to cancel out the drone frequencies.

[@airuzair2424]

don't know if you will see this but I just got magnaflow 12468 installed where my resonator was and got a muffler delete adding dual quad 4 inch tips (2.5 inch piping after 3rd cat) and it has hella drone around 1500-2000 rpm whether I'm on the highway or around town. They didn't bend the pipe to go around the gas tank on each side cuz the shop that bends it was closed and I needed the car the next day so it's pretty much straight piping from resonator to bumper (they put the pipe under the gas tank). I'm wondering if the drone would go away if they actually bent the pipe to go around the gas tank on each side or do I need these vibrant resonators?

[@baldemarcastillo675]

J pipe is what you need for the drone. Resonator will only help on low RPM rasp. Will not lower volume and will little to no drone reduction. I had the same issue with vibrant resonator.

[@n54karim]

[@nataliamiliano150]

Hopefully you ceramic coated exhaust before wrapping it… Otherwise moisture will build up between the wrap and the pipe, and ultimately corrode holes into it. Ask me how I know 😉

Dynomax Race Bullet, Or Dynomax Ultraflow. Get that muffler back. Vibrant makes a great resonator. Bottle style, go with the 18". Edit: your 12s are fine, but 6" Dynomax Ultraflow is the way to go, unless you want a louder 4" Race bullet. Best of wishes.

[@Jack-ls9sv]

Or should i put the resonators where the secondary cats use to be ?

[@Scoupe400]

The resonators are designed to eliminate rasp from V6 and V8 engines. Inherently they will remove a tiny amount of other sound like volume and drone - but not much, and not their intention. A rear muffler is designed to reduce volume. The drone can come from anywhere. But ultimately it’s a frequency issue. Anything that you add or omit from the exhaust system, or anything that vibrates, will change your experience. Therefore adding mufflers may change it or mask it: you may only need a small one; alternatively a different size resonator may work, or secondary inline pre-res set. You could even change exhaust length. You can chase this for ages ; this is what manufacturers spend ages on developing. Get it right and you might have a winner; something sellable. Not everyone wants massively louder & rasp.

[@Dnasty1]

You need a muffler if you want to decrease the sound the resonators may help the drone though.

Yes a Helmholtz resonator would fix the drone issue, the problem is he would need about 42 inches of length and for both pipes. It does not look like he has room to do even one let alone two. But yes, if you get the length right it would definitely fix the drone issue.

[@tbone5654]

Just put original mufflers back in and an electronic cutout just in front of original rear mufflers. I put "dougs cutouts" in and they are amazing. Factory sound when I want, then racing V8 with the flick of a switch. They can be part open as well.
