Tailpipe Tips with Resenators

Hey I was wondering if anyone has used any tips with resenators in them and if these are useful or useless, I have no clue if they make any difference or just make the exhaust sound stupid, someone please let me know, thanks.

Well ive got a pair on mine. They sounds deep and mellow at idle. But since I have a V6 my EXHAUST (not the tips) sounds plain and so all you notice is basically the tips. They dont sound bad but I wouldnt say they sound good either. Basically all they do for me is chop up my exhaust tone. But I think with a V8 and exhaust behind them they would sound nice. It is a must I think to finish off the exhaust.

i've seen f-body's with these and they are usually driven by some dumb kid. From what i've seen and heard they just sound like a rice boy car. You may want to look into an oem resonator (not a tip) from a 1st gen f-body. They look like a muffler. but if you put that on you will have to do work to your exhaust system, but it would sound good.

Hey Slayer, whassup? I looked into resonators, too... I found out they're just like little mini-glasspacks. All they do is muffle the tone a little more. If it's a raspy-flowmaster sound, a resonator will just muffle it. Those in-line resonators are for the same purpose..to quiet the sound. Those old muscle cars had em' because they were SO loud, anyway.
Alot of resonator tips look good, though..so they're good for that.

Do you have any idea what you are talking about??? Im thinking, no. Having tips on a Fbody and having tips on an import are two totally different things! No it doesn't make the car sound like a *****. It just mellows out the tone. How the hell do you put mellowing the tone out with a *****??? Oh and buddy Im 16, and right now I think you are sounding alot more dumb than I am.

Are those borlaa intercooled tips better? Cause they don't really have the resonator part to it. it has those fins which chop up the exhaust. anybody use them?

I haven't heard them and I might be totally wrong on this, but I cant see ANY way that some fins could make the sound any different. But like I said I might be totally wrong.
