to resonate or not to resonate?
so i will definitely be buying a UR cat-back in the weeks to come, but i am on the fence about a resonator.. For those of you who have heard both, is there a big difference? i want a deep, fairly loud tone that stays pretty uniform, so i'm thinking i should resonate. HELP!

If your laws are somewhat strict about modified vehicles, exhaust systems especially, it's best to go with the catback with the resonator and mini-muffler. It will still have a nice aggressive tone that isn't TOO loud but isn't as loud as the straight catback. And you'll get rid of most of the in-cabin drone.

Exhaust laws here are never enforced, before my RA i had a sierra with cherry bombs and never had an issue. Ive already decided i dont want the mini muff, does the resonator sound better or is it just quiter? thanks

If that's the case, go without. Just get the full catback, no resonator or mini muffler.

I have both resonator and mini muff...it sounds like Infinity G35/37 but a bit louder and more growl compare to th G's...but if u go all straight...then it'll be louder then my setup for sure...
Since u don't have to worry about popo...just go without!!!
And no...UR is not Ricey...unless u try to put it on a vtec...then yeah...

I have Ultimate racing complete Turbo to tail pipe exhaust and I will tell you even though I love it and I do have the resonator. Do yourself a favour and spend the extra money and get both the resonator and the midmuffler. Otherwise the drone on long trips will annoy you and piss off your passengers. I will probaby be re ordering the mid pipe with both options next year if I can get someone to buy my mid pipe with just the resonator. It sounds wicked when I am at the track and have the car in sport mode coming down the straight away at close to 200 km/hr but my kids hate being in the back with the drone because they can't hear a conversation going on in the front even with the stereo off.
