Do the cars have different resonators
#16
Thanks Porken for posting that!! I will add this: I have on my 5sp '86.5 an Ott x-pipe and a RMB. It is the best sound I have heard yet.
I have tried just the RMB with cats, didn't like it. Just x-pipe and rear muffler put back on, too quiet.
The larger resonators on the '86.5 and the x-pipe + RMB gave the best sound...IMHO.
For the '85-'86 exhaust on the right, the x-pipe sounds great, but is a bit raspy at higher rpms, and of course with a one piece exhaust from the cat back a RMB is not available without cutting and welding.

Now if I could just trim a bit of the sound level when the throttle opens up without losing too much power I'd have the perfect sound!
Are the resonators important/useful or could I replace them with mufflers like the Borla's I saw on someones car here, they seemed to fit that location well with their low profile.
