4" Exhaust issues..need help

RIDDLEN · 03-24-2006, 09:10 AM

I have an 02 and have reprogramed with a Hypertech. Since I use the stage 3 exclusively (95 hp increase setting), I put a Summit 4" exhaust system on it. It resonated in the cab so horribly I had to put a Donaldson muffler on the size of garbage can. Still frustrated with terrible sound resonating in the cab I had an MBRP 4" system installed. Now I'm worse off and $600 poorer. How the heck do you get rid of horrible resonating sound in the cab. I don't want it to sound like a honda, but I'd like to be able to hear my radio. I'd also like to avoid going back to stock.

Do you have bigger tires on? (need to know the RPM you are experiencing it at) I have mine straight piped and I only get a drone at 2200 rpms. (about 72mph) Other than that, I only can tell it is straight piped while I am driving in town....on the highway it is only slightly louder..barely noticeable.

Same tires as you have actually. Resonates at between 1700 and 2200 RPM which is pretty much driving at 35 - 45 MPH or on the freeway at 55 - 65 MPH.

I talked to MBRP and they said I need a "resonator". A product they sell that cuts into the system under the passeger seat about 18" long. Having one installed today.

Sounds like what the guy at the muffler shop did...he had a different brand system though. He said he still had some resinance, but it was better after installing the resinator.
