I wanna hear what chinooks sounds like with the resonator

Chinook · 09-10-2011, 10:40 AM

I dont have too much to update at this point, my car was suffering some fuel delivery issues the last couple weeks. There was a clamp that failed on the fuel pump and the hose was slipping off only allowing 25 psi fuel at full throttle. I will say that the customer support from Sts was second to none we were in communication several times a day trying to diagnose it. It started happening shortly after I had the resonator welded on so there was the fear of it being the ecm as the welding shop did not disconnect the battery. Problem is solve and car is driving back to normal I am scheduled in for this thursday to have a dyno tune done as there was a change in elevation of about 2400 feet. I am definatly going to install a fuel pressure gauge after this in addition to the A/F, boost, and oil pressure gauges i am currently running. Now that the resonator is on there it is still relatively loud but not overpowering and you can really hear the turbo since its right at the exhaust tips. It's quite a unique sound and i have had a number of people ask what type of exhaust i was running. I will try to get some audio, I wish i was better with computers but I think a buddy may be able to help me out.

Awesome man I can't wait to hear it

The loudness does not bother me its the rice can rasp that im concerned with. Did the resinator get rid of this sound? Anyway you could post pics of where the resinator is? Or some under car shots on a lift? Thanks.

It totally got rid of the "rice can rasp" it was definatly there to begin with and now it's a lot more throaty. It's still fairly loud but it doesn't sound all muffler. and a nice rumble when slowing to a stop. I will try and get video tomorrow when it's on the dyno.

it was recommended due to the change in elevation I'm at 2200' and where it was dyno'd in Utah i believe he said it was 4400-4800' so i'm in for a dynotune tomorrow. it is also running quite rich right now so i am told there is probably a bit of room to play. at w.o.t my air/fuel is at about 10.2 and sts recomends to be around 11.8.

I believe they had someone quite interested but he decided to go another route It's worth calling them on because I think they are quite interested they'd probably need your car to do it but they did an great job with the install.

Jamaica · 09-14-2011, 10:36 PM

G37 thats something we can work on.

blackonorange · 09-15-2011, 01:43 AM

Please show some sound clips tOmmorrow chinook I need to hear this

pyrrhus17 · 09-15-2011, 04:17 PM

Looking forward to those numbers !

Mr&Mrs · 09-22-2011, 01:59 PM

Bumpin for some updates been about a week. How did the tune go? Hope you got some pics of everything and maybe some vids. With what it is going to cost me for 7AT upgrades I'm still exploring this option.

Tune went well, cars running great numbers are a bit lower since i added the resonator 418whp and 365ftlbs torque at about 7.5 psi the tuner said his dyno usually makes lower numbers than others, but numbers aside it drives great i have been in friends 370"s and a g37 and you really notice the difference. i'm kinda just playing it safe for now but will probably bump up the boost in the spring. I couldn't be happier, zero regrets!

Awesome! Once your ready bump it up to 9 psi you should still be safe in that range

Also can you please get me a pic of the resonator?
