I've owned resonated test pipes. The interior does have anything other than metal. I owned them with a rear mounted setup, so I wouldn't have put them on if there were any chance of material coming apart and blowing through the turbo.

All the resonators I'm familiar with still have fiberglass packed in them except for MotorDyne's ART pipes. There's a metallic funnel, then under the funnel is the packing. If you don't want the fiberglass, then you would need some type of muffler. They do make racing mufflers that resemble resonators.

Do you know the brand that makes full metal based resonators?

You stated that resonators went on the OUTSIDE of the exhaust piping. That is wrong, plain and simple. Even if there is a resonator with nothing packed in it there will be holes inside the pipe just like 1slow370 posted. I assure you that if you buy a resonator it is not just a piece of exhaust piping with some metal put around the outside of it.

exactly and as kinetix them selves says "we now offer a full stainless straight through converter replacement, but with a stainless exhaust resonator welded in-line." not outside in-line meaning gas flows through them and you may have owned resonators before and i know you had a rear turbo 350, but have you ever cut a resonator open and seen the inside of it? oh and on a side note the oil system on the 350 sts sucks, the return line is to small which puts too much strain on the pump, which is located on the wrong end of the vehicle. I've installed them before and the turbo smokes like it has blown seals until you change the line and fittings and move the pump.

I am very interested in this!

My friends think it is a dumb idea, but if it works well the price cannot be beat.

That is with 18" rims and long tube headers. I assume it would make less with the regular 19" rims and regular stock headers.
