LCGP 2.5'' Inlet & Outlet Universal Muffler, 11.5'' Overall Length Stainless Steel Resonator

I am very sensitive to exhaust drone but I still always modify the exhaust on my cars so I have spent a lot of time testing out various resonators over the years to see what nets the best sound to drone ratio. Most if not all aftermarket exhausts have some drone even if the manufacturer claims they don't. Up until I tried this LCGP, my go to resonator was the vibrant ultra quiet. It is great and very effective at reducing drone but it's at the cost of a significant reduction in overall exhaust volume and it significantly changes the tone and note. It's also very expensive. I finally gave this one a try because at a third of the price I figured it was worth a shot. And I am truly impressed. They are the same overall length so I was able to swap the two in and out for testing and in my opinion the LCGP nets a better sound by a long shot. Believe me it surprised the heck out of me too. Here's my thoughts:Pros:-Does just as good of a job at knocking down drone as the Vibrant (although not all of it, see my cons)-Very minimal change in exhaust note. Slightly deeper and less raspy but still very similar to before-approximately a 15-20% overall volume reduction. Vibrant ultra quiet is probably closer to 30-40%.-Much more affordable than the Vibrant-small form factor and fits in tight spaces-Many different sizes & lengths availableCons:-Welds and general build quality are not as nice as the Vibrant but still plenty good enough to be under the bottom of a car lol-Does not completely reduce the drone. Approximately a 50% reduction. About the same as the vibrantHere's the deal: I've spent enough time modifying exhausts in my life that I know a "droney" exhaust will always be "droney." There's no magic tool or component that will get rid of it completely. Even J pipes can only reduce drone in a very specific RPM range and not throughout the entire range. So if you want a completely drone free exhaust, don't modify the stock exhaust at all. All those giant mufflers and resonators are there for a reason. In my opinion, a realistic goal for an aftermarket exhaust is to reduce as much drone as you can so that its tolerable, without sacrificing the sound and tone that you want. From here on out I'll be using this rather than the Vibrant simply because it does just as good a job at reducing drone while still keeping close to the same overall volume and tone. It's also about 1/3 the price so to me it's a win win! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because others out there have a better build quality but it's still good enough. Hope this helps!

Just installed these on my 5.7 liter durango rt. The sound is outstanding. Great product for the price.

This unit was purchased in case we needed it on our exhaust system. I note that it is VERY good looking unit for not too much money. We did not put it in yet but may do so later on.

Ehhh it’s decent. For the price it’s solid but you’ll still get a good bit of drone. Did a 3in setup after the downpipe on my GS300 using this and a 1320 muffler. Sounds good but drones a good bit when on highway.

The media could not be loaded. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Small form factorTone:deep tone and reduces raspWeight:Light weight but good solid steel and weldsH pipe with Jones flow pack mids.

This thing is legit do not hesitate to buy it. I was originally going to buy a vibrant ultra quiet but I figured I would give this one a shot. It was cheap enough that if if for whatever reason it didn't work out I would just trash it and go with the vibrant resonator. I cut my old one off my HKS exhaust and welded this one on it's either 18 or 16 gauge stainless so as long as you know how to weld it's not an issue. It sounds better then the one that came with my HKS exhaust and killed at least 40% of the drone at high speed but has a real nice tone to it. Very happy with it. I don't expect it to last a lifetime, and I will update if it goes out overnight or something dumb like that. Good buy. Put it on my Acura rsx type s k20a2 and she's screaming

If you’re looking for a resonator that’s as good as vibrant this is your go to. I have purchased two of these just to make my exhaust set up and I’m not disappointed. The only thing would top this would be a vibrant ultra quiet.

Works good to tone down the open headers on my 78 Malibu, good muffler sounds decent gets rid of raspy tone at idle
