More Resonator Thoughts on L99
Ok check out this picture. It is from the Corsa L99 exhaust. I just want the X-Pipe Resonator part. I highly doubt they sell just that part. So thinking is X-pipe and 2 glass packs, probably Cherry Bombs.
What you all think now that I found a picture? |

Why not use the Magnaflow Tru-X muffler to replace the huge center resonator and forget the mufflers? I don't think you will need any resonators if AFM is disabled.
A word of advice: I have glass-packs with internal louvers. The sound is great but the thermal action of the louvers causes LOUD popping during heating and again during cooling. Glass-packs are OK but get some with a perferated tube insert - not the louvers.

Well that is just the X-Pipe, need something to help take care of the AFM sound when it kicks to 4 cylinder. That is what the glass pack idea came from. I want to keep the drivetrain warranty so programming out AFM not an option at this time.

Are you going to leave you rear mufflers on? I have the GMPP mufflers for the L99 and do not want to throw them away. Another thought is just cut out the resonator and put an X-pipe in and see how bad it sounds. If it sounds bad order that muffler.

My suggestion is to put the Magnaflow X-muff in place of the resonator. See if you like the sound with the GMPP mufflers. I think it will be too quiet. If so, do a muffler delete and sell the GMPP mufflers.

I have an x-pipe and magnaflow mufflers on my L99 and I really don't hear the AFM kick in
But as was suggested, go with the Magnaflow Tru-X muffler to be on the safe side.

Hey Firengred, I have the same axle back as you and am wanting to add the Magnaflow muffler in place of the resonator. I also have a LMR intake and custom tune (Livernois) with AFM removed, so not worried about the 4 cyl sound. Where did you order the Magnaflow muffler from and about how much do they run?
Thanks, I'll probably just do it my self and clamp rather then weld. |

This is the setup I am leaning towards. I know you have AFM turned off. Is there any drone? or did you have this setup with afm on ?
