Hey guys, what's the best resonator in the market?

I would love a LM2 if I could only find one dirt cheap.

Another vote for magnaflow bullet. Quiet and great power

Corsa is good too. Quiet at idle but super loud when you go WOT.

I had borla adjustable. With the plate closed and a magnaflow bullet it was stock sounding with my 427 with a 260 duration cam. Then I put a cutout right in front of the bullet on the I pipe with an electronic cutout for when I wanted to make racket. Worked pretty well. Stock to nasty in 3.5 second

I might just have to go with magnaflow, I need something to quiet down my car.
I'm running just a Corsa muffler and that thing is loud! Louder then when I had the gmmg.

FWIW I have a Dynomax Race Bullet and I think it's fairly quite at idle, but sounds pretty decent at WOT. It's cheap and I'm pretty sure it ranks as one of the highest flowing setups available
