My resonator got trashed by some road debris so I had a 4" glasspack installed at the resonator location. Sounded OK, but the highway drone gave me headaches. After some weeks I changed it out for an SVT exhaust & a Magnaflow 5x8, which was awesome. A four banger may give you a similar result. If you're experimenting with just a few bucks, my suggestion would be to go for a 6" glasspack. That should eliminate much of the drone. Want a nice setup? Start with a stock SVT exhaust & then change out that res with a Magnaflow - If you want to. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I had that setup for a few months. Sounds ok, but not great, and resonates BADLY under load, like climbing a hill. Went with a $21 Summit muffler and it sounds 100% better. -Ken V. 1998.5 SE Praire Tan Zetec ATX psycho_bass@hotmail.com Roush springs Roush rear sway bar BAT struts 17" Millie Miglia HT3 and a ton of subtle asthetic mods
