Re: which is louder?

Well it really depends because some resonators are quieter than others and some mufflers are louder than others. Genrally speaking though a resonator would be louder and are genrally used as a supplament to a real muffler rather than the primary method of sound control. That being said just because its louder does not mean that the quality of the sound will be the better or same eather. Now if your just looking for the loudest thing you can find thats a different story.
