Hi all,

So I bought a skunk2 universal muffler and swapped it with my OEM muffler, I absolutely love the look and sound. However, it drones A LOT at 1-2k rpm inside the cabin.....

Is there any way I can reduce this drone or tone it down a bit at least?

But for real yeah you need a resonator, the drone is basically hitting a resonance frequency so you need to "tune it out" by changing the frequency!

Ahhhh, ok. Yeah I think I’m going to get the UQ Resonator. My muffler shop said it might not do a difference unless it’s longer than the OEM Resonator though

They’re right. A longer resonator will definitely reduce the drone and may provide a deeper tone.

By chance do you know if the UQ resonator is longer than the OEM resonator?

Yikes. The one I ordered was 13.75” overall length... hopefully it will work. ??
Did it? Having an issue with drone in the same RPM range, which sucks because my CVT likes to hang around that range...
