Default Magnaflow Resonator
For those of you with the full magnaflow system, anyone know the part number for just the resonator? I have a shop that will do a custom install. I'm going to go with 2 mufflers, tips, and a resonator. I have the part numbers for everything but the resonator. I can purchase the components cheaper elsewhere and they'll be willing to do all the tubing/pipes. I think I can get parts and labor going this route cheaper than buying the whole kit for $700.

thanks,

I have one that has never been used sitting in storage still wrapped up.

EDIT: BTW, I got the whole kit for $517.

Too bad you aren't in CA, I would give you mine just to get it out of my garage. Honestly, it's a 1-2 HP difference without it but the sound difference is there once the rear muffler packing has worn a bit.

Did they use stainless steel like the rest of the exhaust or cheap aluminized steal? did they weld it in or put a flange on it to bolt in (incase ya ever want to put the res. back in).

They charged me $10 for welding the pipe and flange. I just brought the resonator to them they measured it, cut the pipe to length and found a flange that matched. I installed it myself with the rest of the catback.
