I'm looking to buy some Mac mufflers for the Mustang. I have always been against them in the past, but somehow something just clicked and I'm in love with them.

I plan on putting some resonators in between the mid pipe and muffler to refine the sound. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody with resonators could offer any advice in terms of brands, placement, etc.

If you have Mac mufflers, feel free to chime in.

I really want to hit the nail on this one. I'm basing my decision off of this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ieCaJKB9vV0&feature=related

I went with the 12" Vibrant resonators and had them welded in the over axle pipes in front of the axle and right behind my x-pipe. They didn't tone my exhaust down as much as I wanted them too, so I put the flows on. If I was you, I would just try the axle backs first and see if you like them.
The Vibrant's were and are very nice quality though.

I have 18" Dynamax resonators; along with shortie headers, offroad H pipe, and Borla mufflers. The resonators eliminated the trumpeting and 99.9% of the droning that I had without them.

While I don't have resonators on my car, I do have the Mac axle back, with other wise stock exhaust. Personally, I believe the sound is great. The drone that you hear everyone talk about is there, but i only hear it at 60-70mph in 5th gear when on the highway. For cruising around town I think they are great, and turn a lot of heads. I was skeptical about buying these because of the drone factor I'd heard about, but I don't regret buying them.

P.S My car is a stick shift which may effect how much drone I have because I can choose my own gear.

Thanks guys.

My plan was to try just the mufflers to begin with, but if I got LT headers, I would probably need them at some point.

I run an offroad H and SLP loudmouths. I put 12" vi brant resonators in and it refined the sound a lot. I would go with the 18" ones though.

Do the 18" ones refine more?

Pwny

Where are you guys buying the vibrants?

dustindu4

here is where i got mine. The 18' will refine the noise more, I wish i had gotten those.

you will need a muffler shop to weld them in. I was lucky and have a friend who is a welder, look here

Yeah, I also bought mine from Verocious motorsports. They shipped them quickly if I recall and I had no problem with them.

Pwny

Do you guys recall how much it cost to have them welded in?

dustindu4

My friend did mine for free. It shouldn't cost that much. Just call a few exhaust shops and tell them you want 2 resonators welded in and ask how much.

Pwny

Fair enough.

Thanks.

It cost me 140 bucks. Don't know if that is good or bad, I just took them to shop I trusted. I thought he originally guessed around a hundred in labor, but ended up at 140.

My 18" Dynamax including the resonators and labor was like $95 or $105, something like that.
