Exhaust Resonators Installed

Took the car to the local muffler shop to see how much it would cost to install a pair of resonators. Turned out it was cheaper than I thought. Would cost me only $50. I went to Lordco parts where a buddy of mine works, and he hooked me up with a pair of 2.5" Vibrant resonators. Took them back to the muffler shop, and welded them in. Here are before and after video clips of my exhaust.

Before Resonators:


After Resonators:


I know the first video clip sounds a bit louder and deeper, but the "trumpeting" still exists around the the 2500 RPM range. After installing the Vibrant Resonators, they did quiet the exhaust note a couple of desibles, but the "trumpeting" is gone. I recently had my Mustang in a local Mustang show and had quite a few compliments on the sound of my car. Now, I just want to clean up the cat-back pipes since they were hacked up from a previous installation of resonators with a different axle back that didn't sound good. I'll do this by purchasing a used pair of cat-back pipes from a local Mustang parts outlet.
