L99 resonator design.
Well I recently cut off my resonator because I have been told that it is restrictive . All I can say is it is a straight through design and not restrictive at all . Here are some pictures I took .

Yep. JRE told me to keep mine. Was upgrading to headers after I had Borla S Axle back installed. Best advice as I read so many people want to quite down their rides after going with X pipes.

Ahhhhh!!!! Thank you!!!! I have seen this one other time and never thought I would see it again. I knew the pipes were gapped and they didn't have any sound proofing material inside the L99 resonator. Thanks for posting. I had a short discussion with Magnaflow Tech support about what was inside it when deciding on which resonated X-pipe to order.
 And I guess I have to admit, after the header install I want to knock down the higher RPM sound just a hair and refine it.

I have Doug Thorley Short tubes, solo HFC, along with a solo axle back with the stock resonator, and it was very throaty and would experience alot of vibration on high RPM especially on a downshift when using the paddles
Put on a solo catback which is essentially the same thing except with a resonated X pipe, and it is night and day how much smoother the car feels and sounds. It is a bit quieter at idle though

I honestly wish I would of kept mine. I had the issue some people of had with them where the internals came apart and would rattle at certain RPMS. With no warranty it had to go.
