Vibrant 1792 Bottle Style Resonator Question

Would love to see a video of that. Especially with the stock catback.

I found a good video of a gti with a DP and a vibrant resonator with stock suitcase. I think it’s the perfect combo. I had the Cobb turboback exhaust and I’m more in favor of how this set up sounds.

Might I ask which specification vibrant you all are using?? Thinking about the resonator delete pipe I have but might be interested in throwing one of these in

I think replacing the resonator would be a better option as from all of the resonator delete videos I’ve watched on YouTube it seems to give the car an, in my opinion, bad sounding rasp or something like that. It just doesn’t sound very refined but an aftermarket resonator would eliminate that rasp. Or that’s what I’ve concluded thus far.

Thank you!! Are you having it welded in by a shop or are you cutting the old one out and using slip-fit clamps before committing it to welds?

Just ordered one myself! Feel like this will give the car the sound I’ve been looking for and if not I’m not down a whole catback

Going to fully commit and have an exhaust shop weld it in from the get go. I don’t think I’ll be disappointed and if I regret it I can always add another resonator or put the stock one back in.

I’m really curious to try out a custom cat back using three of these resonators. 1 where the stock one is and 2 replacing the suitcase haha

Not sure about using three of these in that fashion. Wouldn’t smaller mufflers be more sufficient then another pair of resonators?

You’re probably right on that but I was basing my idea on the sound difference created from this resonator. I’m sure there is lighter and shorter mufflers out there that could be used rather that two more resonators haha

Figured I would update this since I did in fact do it.

It sounds pretty good. Nice. Aggressive. Throaty. It did drone too much for my liking though. A catted and resonated downpipe would probably solve that though. Listening to the videos of my old Cobb setup makes me slap myself in the face for ever getting rid of that exhaust.

I would facepalm myself too if I got rid of that beautiful sounding cobb

Yeah. It droned a bit though that’s why I got rid of it. The vibrant res setup sucked. Found an oem catback. Thinking about getting another Cobb TBE but getting the downpipe with a resonator this time around.
