Hey Tuan,

I just received this yesterday!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]34068[/ATTACH]

18' Vibrant Performance 2.5' resonator.

Nice let us know how you like it

Mine will be going on an MK2 so I better get under the car to measure up what fits under there

[TurboYodaSkoda]

Will do.
I'm getting it fitted tomorrow morning. I'll try and get some before & after vids.

[Tigger]

How is it TurboYodaSkoda????
Did the fitting go smoothly?

Where did you get it done?

[TurboYodaSkoda]

Yep, All done.

Here's a vid: YouTube

I got it done at Fastfit Leichhardt, cost $120 to fit which I thought was a bit much, but it was a bit more work than I thought and they did a great job.

[Tigger]

Ah cool.
Thanks.
That sounds quite a reasonable price actually.
Cant wait to hear it one day in person!

[Tuan]

Sounds like a small volume increase from the outside .. so is it safe to say there is no droning at all inside

[TurboYodaSkoda]

No droning at all, sounds like 'normal mode' when I have the sound set to 'Eco'.

[Tigger]

Cant wait to hear it in person!

Oh, were did you buy the resonator from please?
I have found a few places on line, but they seem different...I want to make sure i get the right one (same as yours.)
Cheers!

This is where I got mine from:
SS Resonator (Standard Design) 2.5" inlet/outlet x 18" long

Delivered pretty quick!

I was trying to find somewhere local, but I think if you go to a decent exhaust place and let them know what you want to do they'll probably already have similar stuff. The place that I went could have supplied and fitted a similar thing. As long as it's a performance resonator that's 2.5' both ends it should do the same job.

Most of the exhaust shop around my area does not carry stainless wrap resonator, they all carry what they call 'Glass Pack'. From the outside they look identical, difference being one has a stainless wrapping on the inside to improve longevity and the other is just the packing material itself.

I had glass pack resonator installed before the Vibrant, they sounded really good (deep and smooth) but the packing burnt out after only six months or so due to the high temperature gas from the turbo.

Price is a good indicator as well, those glass pack is considerably cheaper.

[TurboYodaSkoda]

AGREE...has to be Stainless Steel.

Thanks guys!
Great advice.
Really appreciate it.
Will start shopping now!
