Hey all,

So in an effort to make my car as quiet as it can be, ironically, I think the tanabe/revel medallion touring is too loud. I have been advised that the vibrant ultra quiet resonator is probably the best solution; however, I was trying to see if I could run two of them. I'm not sure if two would fit and can't really easily get under the car currently either.

Here's what I'm looking at

For backstory, I currently have the tanabe medallion touring paired with my STM test pipe (catted).

TIA!

why not get a 400 cell catalytic converter and/or muffler that has a removeable silencer

400 cell cat converter, is that where the test pipe would be? sorry I am very new to this platform. and not sure if ive heard or seen of a muffler with a removable silencer

aha you missed the F&F days. yes test pipe replaces the cat converter. normal cats I think are 400 cells (tightly packed), race cat is probably 100 cell.

see the removeable cap. i have this on mine and I cap it since I live in a HOA community and I need music
I see apexi sells them separately

tje stm is a 300 cell GESI, do you think the extra 100 cells will make a difference?

yes, but most of it really relies on effective diameter of the end pipe. i have 100cell and the silencer tip makes all the difference. obviously I cant accelerate fast with the silencer but my car with stiff springs is not a great street racer anyway

got it... yeah I got this car to replace my FK8, since I have a high hp rs3, trying to get this thing as quiet as I can LOL. I saw someone recommend this exhaust which has a valve, it is quite intriguing, paired with a res, I can only imagine it being even quieter: https://xforceusa.com/products/vmk2g...BoCHH0QAvD_BwE

that may work too but maybe check the reliability. you got heat, vibration and lots of moisture. chinese remote solutions, no thanks.
my catback is less than $200 new so I'm not an expert on this stuff
