CPE Stealthback TBE project complete

[Unoriginaluser]

i have the cpe tbe system which i love but found for the occasional time that i had to pick up an exec from the airport or whatever to be a little to abnoxious for my liking especially on the hwy because you can fix part of the problem by keeping your foot out of it :lol:

The solution:
Got a 3" vibrant resonator welded in

The result
WOT - no percievable difference which is good becuase i like that part
Startup - no percievable difference, pops and gurgles that i was worried about losing are still there, which is good becuase i like that part
hwy - about 5-10% less noise at steady speed
off gas - 10% + less drone, much quiter

i saw ur video. i only notice the difference on the 80 mph. I guess also at mph lower than that. 100mph sounds the same. Start up sounds the same to me imo. Tha'ts good, less drone when rpm are kept low. I think you've achieved what u wanted to do. I have the vibrant dp-back, so i dont know if i could muffled it any further. out an extra resonator? nah. But i still wished it's a little quiet (on if gf parents or bosses are in the car) other than that I dont care.

yes you're right at higher rpm, startup and WOT they are about the same but it is less droney at that 70-100kmph range

Is that the "ultra quiet" resonator that they make?

where in the exhaust did you weld it in?

just a normal 3" one... bad pic but i held the camera under the car to try and show you where it is (in that cut out on the skid plate)

Thanks for the pic... glad you like it. I got the "ultra quiet" vesonator from Vibrant. Big....looks like a muffler almost. But straight throu 3 inchs... makes a big difference.
