Cool man; I think that resonator 'quiets' that down just enough, I think there's a fine line between loud & too 'drownie' & I think you've nailed it!
Agreed, thanks man 🤘
Finally a person who mounts rims with high profile tires! Besides the tire appreciation, sounds really good with the resonator.
Thanks! I love real tires🤘
Definitely loving the Z3. Your exhaust builds are really really clean. Lotta talent. Sound quality is very nice and gives the car a more aggressive quality. Keep it up. 👌🏻👌🏻
This is the best video by far. I've been looking for a video that demonstrates before and after sound effects with this ultra quiet vibrant resonator. I myself had my eye on this type of resonator to install on my 4th generation maxima. And I have been doing my research on the type of sound that am particularly looking for. This video helped out in determining the final application for my maxima. Thanks again
Glad I could help! You can also check out my 135i exhaust build videos, I installed the same resonator.
Really fantastic work. I've been looking for an example to show an exhaust shop what I want them to build for me, and you've nailed it. Thanks!
Thanks! Good luck with yours 🤘
Yeah you are right. The resonator was needed and sounds great. I just picked up my project Z3 and it needs a lot of interior love and a little body work. The motor and 5 speed seems good so far. Drove it 20 miles home with zero issues.
Thanks! And that's awesome good luck with yours!
Sounds so much better, awesome work!
Thanks a lot 🤘
Big difference & still sounds nice! Real good job & nice shop💯👍🏿
Thanks a lot 🤘🤘
I like the sound of the straight pipe but...the new setup seems more chill lol. Nice work btw 👍🏼
Agreed, thanks 🤘
Im gonna have to get one of these
Love it, love the way it sounded straight piped but resonated sounds good too. Makes me miss my Miata lol
Haha it was just a bit loud with the top down 😅
@@Kordare i know what you mean 😂 the Miata was straight piped for a bit then I put a muffler on it
Love the videos, car sounds great
Thanks for checking it out 🤘
I like the change! Definitely a lot easier on the ears of bystanders in the high RPM range. Sounds good overall, too!
Thanks I agree!
Dude you made that look so easy. Haha. Sounds way better now
Agreed, thanks 🤘🤘
It is easy lol
@@TheHorrorFreak preciate the input
Good work! Think I made my decision for my E34 535i. I had the vibrant performance resonator on it and it was just too loud and raspy. This seems like the perfect balance, appreciate the comparison video.
Thanks! Good luck with yours🤘
Love the videos as always. I'd love to see you do a budget single turbo on the 135 like you did on the mustang
Thanks! Yeah I agree that would be sikkk
@@Kordare Have you heard of the channel Zero-To-60? Hes an australian guy who did ebay twin 17t (and maybe 19t on another car)+ebay hbeams lol
My old Toyota xrunner was running dual in line vibrant ultra quiets with a custom turbo kit. It sound exactly like this. Has a nice pur during regular driving but when you get on it it’s not ear piercing. Good choice on the resonator
👍👍
Nice touch!
Thanks 🤘
Sounds way better!
Agreed!
I just got a m roadster I’m so happy and excited and it’s my first manual car I love it already I can’t wait to put some money and miles into this
Awesome have fun with it!
I like only vibrant performance muffler street to install on mid pipe to make quieter with stock resonator and performance muffler.
I have a 2000 2.8i Z3 with the standard BMW exhaust set up. I have to say that I think the standard set up sounds great and I wouldn't want to change it. Each to his own I guess.
Put one of these on my straight piped genesis coupe 2.0 and it made it sound so much better.
🤘🤘
@@Kordare and i'm boutta put some vibrant bottle resonators on my gs350 😎
Nice, that sounds really good! I'm thinking of getting 2 of these for my 350z. I fabbed up a quieter exhaust, but it still seems slightly too loud. So these should do the trick
I recommend them for sure, good luck 🤘
Sounds cleaner. Still louder than I expected though.
Agreed
Just ordered 2 of the bottle nose to quiet my flowmaster super 10s down it's no different than a straight pipe just too loud hopefully it works
I’m doing my exhaust right now and this is giving me false confidence you makin it look too easy
I believe in you
New 2022 Mach1 HP owner here. Im thinking about my Active Exhaust options to comply with racetracks that have noise restrictions. One of the options Im considering is replacing the stock resonator with two Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator bottles. Other option is keeping stock resonator and trying to fit regular Vibrant resonators behind it. Last option is an H-pipe combined with ultraquiet vibrants. Although I love the stock sound, I want to avoid getting kicked out of HPDE events when I use the Mach1 at W.O.T. Ive read that some M1 HP owners just pulled the AE fuse while the engine is running in AE quiet or normal mode, before pitting out on the track. Any suggestions?
Amazing 🤝
🙌🙌
Looks good! I know you live in PA so be careful I had a car failed for inspection for welding a hanger to a muffler. I was told it was "Modified"
Thanks! What's an inspection?? 😅😅🙃🙃🙃🙃
Why would someone with a modified car get an inspection? There’s ways to get the sticker without someone looking at it, but 🤐
Sounds so much better with the resonator, well done! Was lookin at doing this for my 4Runner. Thank you! 🛻 💥
Agreed 🤘🤘
I think the biggest offender and pretty common for whatever reason on BMW engines is rasp, there can be a few causes, and this did a good job curing that as well, its noticeable in before and after on the light revs during warm start to my ear. Loud engine noises are nice but when it just sounds like metal rattling around not so much, this is way better, more actual engine sound just enough volume reduction. Pretty good win win. Additionally i like duel pipes aesthetically but from single exit, or on most inline engines often don't like the way they alter sound, this one turned out good though, you still have some meat to the sound rather then it being too smoothed out. Must be just within margin of error i bet if you would of had even 1/8 inch larger on each the duel pipes wouldn't have sounded as nice.
Appreciate the feedback and I agree 🤘
It sounds great but Does it drone?
Do you think two would be worth it? I've been contemplating using these to replace the mufflers on my s2k. I cut the mufflers off another stock exhaust.I really liked the raw sound of just the resonator with the muffler delete but it's too loud and don't want a boomie droning aftermarket exhaust like skunk or tomi.
It's kinda personal preference at this point but it's still decently loud with the top down. It's much louder at low rpms vs high.
Resonated is always king, apparently my Fiesta ST is loud but being resonated it's comfortable inside (even on the motorway).
I agree for sub 8 cylinders and no turbo 👍
@@Kordare yeah, turbo is basically a silencer anyway so might as well go straight through at that point!
@@jase_llan 💯💯
It looks kind of small muffler which does its job quite effectively
🔥🔥🔥🔥
What would you recommend for 2018 jaguar F type 4 cylinder 2.0 exhaust system upgrade
I don't have experience with that but this type of setup could work well. Try to find videos of that car with modified exhaust
Meet Kordare The Welding Robot, great work. Resonated sounds much better.
Haha thanks a lot!
You know Vibrant have sense of humor when they brand that the Ultra Quiet.
😂😂
Because it really works vs the bottle style resonator which does literally nothing for noise reduction.
A resonator can only do but so much. It’s job isn’t to muffle sound.
im looking into getting a bmw z3 2.5i as my first manual here soon. The one im looking at has a muffler delete and Im curious would you say go with the resonator straight pipe or add a muffler back on? idk if it sounds louder in person compared to on video or not
Really depends on what you want. Drive it around a little and that might help you decide.
Did it also lower the interior noise or just drone? Did a muffler delete on a catless v8 and it sounds glorious but the drone and volume is just a tad too loud. Would love to bring it down 15% and reduce drone by a lot lol
Yes definitely helped with interior noise as well
Have you looked into Helmholtz resonators (not 1/4 resonators or J-pipes, sometimes people confuse them)...?
hows the incab drone when driving at highway speeds? Got a car recently that was straight piped to the headers and it's ungodly loud, as well as insane drone even with windows up... Wondering if this will help it out lol
This will definitely help
The resonator sounds nice. Great work on the fab.
Thanks!
Damn. Just watched the last video. Wanted to straight pipe it. Now watched this and now realise I need more money for a res
Haha I would advise it
@@Kordare my current backbox has a hole in it so it’s pretty noisy haha.
How is the packing on the resonator holding up? Mine burned out after not too long... it's now loud AF!
Haven't had any issues but I don't drive it too often
Sounds nice resonated, gets rid of the fartiness 👌
👍👍
Think i like it straight piped, but that's cause i really like noise, great job welding👍🏽
Thank you 🤘
Resonators are meant to go as close to the headers as possible; they're not supposed to replace mufflers.
But they work the same way so it really doesn't matter
You can tell the difference but I think somthing more substantial would be needed to get it down a good amount
Agreed, this was just enough to take the edge off
how was the drone change over all? I have a 2016 Focus ST with a 3" SRS cat-back (off a cat-less dp and big turbo), and its nearly straight piped...its SO droney its unbearable. I was going to add this ultra quiet resonator, hoping it cured the drone. The exhaust sound and burbles/crackles is nice, but the drone is so bad i wont even drive it with the family anymore, resulting in taking my SUV on weekends until i fix the headache inducing drone cruising around 70-80mph lol...
This resonator will definitely help with drone
Sounds great but still pretty loud. I know what would quiet it down more... 🐌
🤔🤔🤔🤔
What engine does that powerful machine have, I have one just like it and I want it to sound that great.
2.8
Any chance you'd sell the kit for the car if so how much looks so good 👍
Thanks! Haha I just had someone say it looks horrible. And no plans to sell it right now but maybe someday
@@Kordare always gonna be people like that. I love it wondered if you'd sell the arches pre made to then weld on ?
@@Kordare I’ve had someone say I look horrible, but idc bc I’m a stud. Same goes for you and your car. Don’t listen to haters, they can go sit on one!
@@Kordare id definitely pay well for a pre made set up. especially with the quality and time spent. please let me know.
Is the inside quieter? I have some drone sounds and vibrations I’d like to stop.
Definitely better inside
But isn't that essentially a Muffler by adding that to a straight pipe? Just like to know before attempting mine. THANKS
Yeah basically. It's just called a resonator by the manufacturer
Do you sell this set up ? The only diff for me is my cat is gone so I would need from the y pipe and the spot for the second o2
Sorry I do not sell this setup
Sounds more refined
Agreed
Did it help at all with the droning?
Definitely
I hate to say it but I think a big ol' spoiler would look great on this build
I have considered it🤔🤔. Wish they weren't so played out
Do the resonator cut down the deep sound inside the car?
Definitely
What are the Dimensions of the exhaust
There is no possible way to tell you the detailed dimensions....
Good evening.
I tried to go to Facebook to contact you to ask question.
I have 97 2.8 Z3. I need an engine or a rebuild kit. I have been trying to find a rebuild kit but cannot. I already have a cylinder head and gasket set for the top end. I need the bottom end, i.e. Pistons, rings, rods, bearings.
Can you please advise where I can find such items as a kit.
I really eant to get the Z back up and running. It is worth it to me.
Thank you in advance.
Jason.
Hey sorry I have never rebuilt one but you can check ECS tuning and FCP euro
@@Kordare thank you. I have checked them but they don't have a kit and piecemeal it is rediculous. Might as well LS it. 🤣🤣
Thank you very much.
i know you said you're an engineer but how did you learn how to do all this stuff?
Self taught! With time and patience you can learn anything. I've been welding about 10 years now and built over 50 exhaust systems.
@@Kordare way cool man you make it look super easy and you get awesome results
Did it get rid of any drone?
Definitely way better
Does the resonator take off the drone inside?
Definitely helps
The resonator made it sound deeper.
Agreed
Whats the part number for the resonator
1142, here's a link: amzn.to/3m1OoAq
does resonator affect the performance?
It's a straight through design, so no it shouldn't.
It actually sounds like this resonator added drone. Did it do so?
No way definitely quieter and less drone
@@Kordare Oh did it add a slight amount of bass? Maybe thats what I was hearing.
@@Dnasty1 nope probably just the way the mic picked it up
Bro. How much you spend for the whole exhaust?
Probably like 300 in materials
@@Kordare with you make one for me and ill pick it up i live in Nj? Or shipped it? I have 2000 2.8 z3
I made a straight through custom muffler for my car and it is as quiet as a stock muffler
Sweet
I’m trying to get rid of a raspy sound on my car.
This would definitely help
I may go with this on a w210 m112, full delete, muffler, and factory resonator.
Where is the ideal placement? Towards the end or in the middle
Doesn't really matter
straight pipes always sound awful. Glad you put the resonator.
Depends on the engine. The Range Rover and mustang are straight pipe and sound great
@@Kordare I think on turbo car straight pipe exhaust works well. The turbo absorbs a lot the raspy noise that you would get with a resonator delete. I was surprised to hear the Range Rover doesn't really have that rasp kinda sounds like an 5.0 f150 from the inside though haha
@@codereddew1539 haha yeah adding that h-pipe got rid of almost all the rasp.
this is a m52?
Yess
It can never be too loud.
I partially agree
Unless it’s your daily. Loud cars are fun in TH-cam videos and weekend drives, but get old fast. That’s just me though! 🤷🏽♂️
It's not straight piped if it has any interruptions in the exhaust
Meh close enough 🙃🙃
It’s not straight pipe if u still have stock cats on like cmon now guys
I am so sorry, please forgive me 😭
You cant call it straight pipe if it has cat in it. Cat makes it more quiet than resonators.
Meh I still call it a straight pipe 🖤
Better before
Lies
…I hope that wide body fender bit isn’t finished because that looks like some poorly plastic molded flake peeling toy.
It's finished and I love how it turned out! Full sheet metal and welded, no plastic here 🖤🖤
Question Sir?? Di your car passed inspection with just the resonator?
Yeah but of course every state is different. I still have the catalytic converter so thats what really matters.
What was the drone like before and after?
Bad drone before, much better after
@@Kordare any advice for me man, i got a 2012 civic and just swapped over to a 2.5 inch pipe and a 4.5 inch greddy muffler what resonator should i run and where should i weld it because this thing drones like a mf😭 thanks for replying bte
I've had good luck with this vibrant resonator. You can add it near the middle of the car or wherever you have room
@@Kordare will do lyk how it goes
SMH!!! People for the love of the gods stop saying it's a straight pipe if there's cat or a resonator, Omfg 🙄😒😏😒
I am sorry from the bottom of my heart
@@Kordare I'll let u live ,for u know not what u do!
