Vibrant Performance 1141 2.5' Ultra Quiet Resonator, Silver

My car sounds amazing now. Great quality.

This review is for the 3.5l Ecoboost owner. There is maybe one other review out of 800 or something. I had a customer muffler done with resonator delete (carven r series) and needless to say it was over the top loud and too raspy. Once the UQ was installed (in the stock placement ahead of the muffler) the sound was perfect for me. Nice aggressive sound but not over the top with drone and virtually no rasp. The best way I can describe it is the good old resonator delete with stock muffler kicked up a notch. Also get the added subtle popping when rolling to a stop/down shifting. Not crazy popping. Just subtle. If the old resonator delete with stock muffler does not do it enough for you? This is a great option. It's hard to make that engine/exhaust sound good and it is very subjective. Cold start is maybe a little loud for my taste with this set up. But other than that. Great free flowing system and sounds great!

Noise level good, drone control and easy to install

Edit: After 2-3 weeks either my exhaust, this resonator, or the system as a whole really settled in. The sound is still nice and throaty when stepped on, but to the naked ear is just slightly louder than the OEM set-up inside the cabin even at it's loudest. On a DB meter it came down more during this time, but not a huge amount. What it seemed to do best is bring the worst vibrational tones into a range that doesn't sting the human ear. I have to say this is truly a magical product if you give it some time.I installed a cat back exhaust system and replaced the OEM resonator with a Vibrant bottle style resonator (not the ultra quiet) on my Lexus IS250. I found it to be painfully loud inside the cabin, especially between 2-3K RPM's.I went back to the factory resonator and it was quieter than the Vibrant bottle style resonator, but still had a loud drone between 2-3K RPM's (about 81-89db).I couldn't find many reviews comparing the factory resonator to the Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator, so I gave it a shot to try and bring down the noise/drone a bit more.Pro's:-gave the exhaust a slightly more mature, throaty, deep sound (not deep in the sense of drone)-rounded out the tone of the exhaust throughout the RPM band (helped it blend)-made the drone a little less piercing (hard to describe since the volume didn't change much)Con's:-didn't lower overall cabin volume except by 1-2 decibels compared to the OEM resonator-slightly raised the exhaust volume outside the car by about 10% compared to the OEM resonator (didn't measure db)Is it worth getting over an OEM resonator? Maybe, but it probably depends on your setup, the OEM resonator, and your expectations. For me it was a very minor improvement. I probably wouldn't do it again, but I had to find out for myself. It certainly didn't make things worse, but it didn't add significant value either.I feel like most of these reviews are comparing noise levels going from no resonator or an aftermarket (loud) resonator so take them for what they are if you have an OEM resonator.

I purchased an MBRP cat back exhaust for my 2016 Veloster Turbo. The exhaust only came with an mbrp resonator which was positioned at the beginning of the mid pipe. The exhaust was very loud and obnoxious at highway speeds. The drone was almost unbearable. After doing some extensive research I find this Vibrant ultra quiet resonator. I was very pleased with the quality of the resonator when I first unboxed it. The welds are very nice and the unit is very solid. After finding a good place to mount it i had a friend modify the y pipe that originally came with the mbrp exhaust and weld it in place just before the tail pipe. I couldn’t be more pleased with the sound. It’s a lot deeper and only gets loud around 3k rpms which is ideal for driving through town, cold start idling and even better when traveling on the highway to and from work. I would recommend this product to anyone that’s looking to cut down on the drone of an aftermarket exhaust and the over all volume while maintaining a great exhaust tone.

The media could not be loaded. Quality: It looks and feels like it’s a high quality product. It’s quite heavy, feels very solid and I was surprised to see how nicely polished the stainless is. 10/10 on the quality for sure. The ends are 2.5” ID so my 2.5” tubing fit nicely inside and made for easy welding of the seams.For sound: I’m using it on my 2012 Jetta TDI 6 speed manual. I did a DPF delete/tune so I had the car straight piped for a few days. I loved the idle sound but over 2k RPM, the exhaust sounded raspy so I put this resonator in the mid pipe. Now my idle is pretty quiet and (unfortunately) took a lot of the turbo whistle away. However, I do really like the sound over 2k RPM and it COMPLETELY did away with the raspy/ricer sounds I had before. It’s deep and mildly loud at most. I really can’t hear the exhaust at all below 2k RPM with the windows up.So I am impressed with the quality of this resonator and also appreciate that it does its job well. With that being said, and depending on your application and your preference, this may make your car too quiet if you want some fun sounds. I am adding an electric cutout before the resonator so I can enjoy the turbo diesel noises when I’m feeling it.All in all I like it and it’s great for a daily driver but it’s a little too quiet for my car and noise preference

I bought and installed a stainless MBRP cat back exhaust rock crawler type for my Wrangler JKU. It was loud enough that my wife wouldn’t drive in it. I installed this Vibrant ultra quiet resonator in front of the MBRP muffler and the exhaust sound is now perfect. A bit louder than stock but tasteful! Great job Vibrant!!!
