I do have their res yes. It doesn't have many miles on it. Too bad they are falling apart thats the best resonator on the planet. I'm gonna disconnect my catback and see what kind of bewst I make.
Have fun testing though! Take earplugs

Big thanks to Taylor (Infraredline) helping me smooth out my idle! It's wayyy better! For some reason my high boost issue seemed to have cured itself. Didn't wind the car out but I didn't last time either and I was seeing 26psi. It's odd because the same thing happened to me when I first bolted my TVS on. But the Balt is ready to be put back on the road! Put some quick miles on and head down south to be tuned and show you Americans once again how to drink

8 months and 9 days later my car is back on the road! Dammit I missed it so much. It still needs to be tuned so I've just gave it quick blasts but it seems to pull pretty good considering
. Vids of Infraredline vs Bluelightning will hopefully be up in a few weeks haha.

Welp, I've run into another obstacle. It appears coolant and oil+ 8 months of sitting has caused my resonator to fall apart and clog my exhaust almost solid. Over the last few days showing off my car I've seen pieces of baffling coming out of my exhaust haha. Then my car has become donkey slow and my EGT's are got higher cruising. Check my resonator, fucked. My 2.5" exhaust has seen better days as figure now is a good time to upgrade it. Tried to look into a 3" exhaust from ZZP but their resonators are back orders for a month. Ugh...
Suggestions? Exhaust has to be on the quieter side.

Lol trust me I know. I love my set up. It's whisper quiet. But it's seen 4 muffler and 3 resonator changes and its 2.5". Time for 3" with in a perfect world remotely close to what I have for sound.
3" header/ catless dp
Flowmaster/Hushpower 3" DBX as resonator
3" cutout at the first bend of the exhaust exiting pre passenger rear tire
Walker SoundFx pn17193 on the end.
Whisper quiet and still sounds good with the cutout open. The DBX is the ULTIMATE rasp killer.

I sent pics of my resonator to ZZP and being the stand up company that they are will replace it for me. Usually they request it back but since I live in Canada they're nice enough not to make me send it back. So **** it I'm going to pull the trigger on a new 3" stainless set up from ZZP. I also have a $75 in store credit for my cam issue so might as well use that too. A full set up with resonator will actually be a cheap new system. I'm broke as it is from this build lol. I just gutted my resonator in the mean time to get me by.
It's official, I'm headed to Bismarck Thursday night! Sounds like Taylor (Infraredline) has some fun in store as well as business so I'm really looking forward to it.
