Anyone added extra mufflers after their longtube header install?
I'm considering adding 2 resonators where the stock cats were, and also a Magnaflow "2 into 2" dual inlet/ outlet muffler in the rear, just before the rear differential. I had done this with my SS sedan and it's the only way in hell to make things civil when using longtubes, even with the stock NPP system.

I would listen to it first - these cars have a much better stock muffler than the 5th gens.

I kept my stock mufflers when I did my off-road headers and midpipe. NPP compatible mufflers are retarded expensive, and it just wasn't worth it to me. When I need it quiet, I drive it in Stealth mode and it's right between the touring and track mode sound...not to quiet, but not obnoxiously loud either.

Borla lists a resonator section that is designed to be used with their X-pipe. It would go in place of some of the piping in other words. But I've seen no reviews of how well it works.

The middle resonator combined with the S Type is what composes their touring system.

And two resonators will go in place of the downstream catalytic converters: |
