Also put on the z1 transmission mount.
The sound decrease is remarkable with the 12" resonators. I was stunned at what a difference it made. I'll miss shaking homes and small children, setting off car alarms as I cruise by, but the plus side is I no longer fear driving to Zdayz this May.
But the real hero here is the transmission mount. Love it! Way less movement from my trans, solid shifts, etc - you've heard it before, but it's all true. I'd previously installed the z1 bushing collars and I'm starting to get the cumulative benefits of these small mods. Next up are the diff bushings, but I'm not looking forward to that project  |
I didn't realize the resonators made that much of a difference. I ordered mine with 12" resonators and it seems to be a good balance both inside and outside of the car.
As for the rear diff bushing... Yeah, it's a PITA if you do it laying on your back.
