Default ***Best Resonator??***

I'm running a set of tsp longtubes to a Corsa muffler, through a custom 3inch ory and I pipe. It is just way too loud, louder then my old gmmg catback.
I want to run a resonator to tone it down but, minimizing power loss as best I can.

What's the best in the market?

I hear good things about the Magnaflow bullets and the Borla XR1 bullet.

I use the SLP IIs and I am very happy with their performance.

For a 3" I-pipe, Magnaflow#14419 (4" dia.) or #12867 (5" dia.)
The 14419 will fit without any issues, but the 12867 will need the sheet-metal messaged in a little if you want to tuck the muffler case up closer to the body.

Most aftermarket/performance resonators usually make the exhaust louder in a certain frequency range, he needs a muffler not a resonator, what everybody has listed so far are mufflers.

Ok, we read the post and made recomendations.
He needs a quieter muffler, that's what we are stating.

A resonator is technically just an expanded section of pipe (in this instance) with no sound deadening material. An SLP LMI resonator (for example) is 3in in/a 4 in or so hollow chamber/3 in out. A muffler of similar construction would be 3 in all the way through. The section inside the 4 in or so case would be perforated and surrounded my either steel wool, fiberglass, or some other sound deadening media. This is a simple example. Spiralflows and such are a little different.

I ran a 12 inch dynomax race bullet in the I pipe of my corsa catback. I had longtubes and an off road y pipe also. It did cut the rasp down somewhat but I decided to switch out the corsa muffler cause it still didnt sound good to me.
