    I see this Invidia N1 racing cat back, new and good price. I know the racing N1 doesn't have a resonator in it. Has anyone ever heard one ? How will that effect the sound vs one with a resonator ?

    No resonator on my current catback. It does drone more than the stocker did, but not too bad. Now the Blitz....

    I also have no Resonator or Cats, and I have no drone. My exhaust is a 2.5 diameter pipe though so it is not nearly as loud as everyone with 3" exhaust. I would probably have a horrible drone with the 3".

    I own the resonated version of the exhaust, basically the resonator is there to keep highway drone down which there is some. Also, the resonator reduces the sound alltogether by a few DB's. I'll see if I can find some numbers.

    Think the drone would be to much for me then. If anyone is interested. $400, new and $37 to ship to my zip. Ends in about 2 hours.
