Holy crap this thing is huge! Is it going to fit?
Wednesday, February 27, 2008 1:32 PM
I am getting ready to re-do my exhaust (the right way this time). Today I received my Magnaflow 22" resonator and it seems really @!#$ huge! To me it doesn't seem like it will fit under the car at all. I am just wondering if anyone else has a Magnaflow resonator and if it will indeed fit fine under the car and all?

Thanks in advance.

I do not know for sure however an exhaust shop can always move your cat closer to the header and I think the high flow cats might be not quite as long. I am not quite for sure you might want to look into that.

It may not be constructive, but it sure as hell made me laugh!

Yeah, I got the Magnaflow high flow cat and it's pretty short. With the resonator though I am more worried about the height of it (4") than the length. It seems like it will hang down really far, but I guess I will find out for sure when I take it to the exhaust shop.

I had a 30" under mine, basically welded right behind the cat, then at the end of the res the pipe immediately bends towards the axle

Okay, thanks for the help (and sexual humor) guys. I'm sure it will fit, I just didn't expect it to be so huge (insert more sexual humor here) !

I know this is a stpid question but ive seen a few high performance resonators on ebay say they give u 3 or something horsepower. i thought resonators were a empty tube... Just wonderin

you forgot a zero.....it actually adds 30HP


no they dont add horsepower.....ever. They have a baffling material in them similar to a glass pack.

They help quiet the exhaust note by taking the edge off it while posing no restriction to the flow, providing they are of a diameter inside that matches the system. The real trick is positioning it in the system where it will do it's job best (Like say, in the extention pipe area) and sizing it in terms of length so it works with the resonance frequency of the exhaust pulse.

Go beyond the "bolt-on".

Not a Magnaflow, but a 22" resonator/glasspack nonetheless... it fits fine, with the cat in the stock location...

Thanks a lot for the pictures, however, I am not so much concerned with the length of the resonator, but rather the width of it. It's 4" and it seems really huge compared to the cat for example. I am just worried that it will hang down and I will be scraping it on stuff. Is there any way you can get a couple pictures of the car flat on the ground (it looks like it's on ramps)? I know the Thrush glasspack (shown in Kardain's pictures above) are 3.5" wide, as oppose to 4" on the Magnaflow. I'm wondering if that .5" will make a difference or not?

Not my car, but i'm pretty sure rawkfist has a similar resonator, not as long but the width of body looks the same. may want to get at him about pictures of ground clearance or w/e.

You'll be fine with the 4" deal.

Event was using three of them (magnaflow 4" thick ones) with his ride. One up under the bumper as a regular muffler.
At the time he was lowered on RKs, then Teins, and rolling on 17 Enkei's

Ya i have the 22" Magnaflow on my car (sorry no pics cuz its @!#$ winter) but yea it will fit up there fine with little issue of hanging too low. The problem I had with mine was that because this resonator is so much heavier than the stock one, it tends to want to pull the exhaust system down. Peronsally I want mine to sit higher so I talked with the guy who installed my system and he told me that he could add an extra hanger at the end of the resonator to pull the whole thing up. So yea you shouldnt have any problems. My exhaust was on a 03 Cavy b4. Take a look at the pics from this thread. http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=22&i=41154&t=41154 Hope this answers your questions.

^^^^^^^Guess I shouda mentioned that Caddilac used themin conjuction with mufflers (Which were placed upstream of the resonators) to get the desired effect, but pretty much the same effect will be had with them arranged the other way (resonator -> muffler).

Go beyond the "bolt-on".

Big thanks to Manta and Scott for the pictures and link. Those are exactly what I have been looking for! Looks like the Magnaflow 22" will fit fine. I am super excited to get my exhaust re-done, I just drove the car for the first time in at least six months and I had completely forgotten how horrible it sounds .

And you guys are a bunch of perverts... I love it !
