As factory options are usually the standard S type, they will absorb a lot of noise, while gun barrel straight exhausts – especially wider ones – will generate a lot of noise. You are essentially trading noise reduction for performance, but there are selections available that will allow you to have the best of both worlds.

That is where mufflers and resonators come into play. A good muffler is not only going to limit the noise, but it is going to provide greater performance for a much more affordable price point, and it can be used with resonators for a vehicle that performs better and sounds and looks great.

What is the difference between a muffler and a resonator?

The difference between the two is that a muffler will reduce the volume of your vehicle, while a resonator is going to change the tone to be more pleasant to the ear. Combine the two for optimal results.

By having the right combination of a quality exhaust to control the output of gas, a high-standard muffler to limit the noise and a resonator to tune your car's sound to your liking, you will get the perfect blend of power, efficiency and customisation for your ride.
