Vibrant Performance Exhaust

Nice! Give us your review once it's been broken in.

P.S. How many members have this exhaust now?

Thanks, will do. I have yet to test it for any 'droning' sounds while cruising on the highway, 'coz that would be annoying. So far so good.

Don't worry you won't have any droning. I have both resonators straight piped to the muffler and I don't even have any highway droning.

That's interesting- I have a drone problem, esp. from the passenger side, and the only exhaust mod I've done has been swapping to the Vibrant.

That's weird lol I haven't had any issues with drone at all. I have the second resonator taken out. I have driven Luca's car as well with both resonators taken out, and yes, it's hard to believe, but it really doesn't that much, if any at all.

So hopefully going to get mine installed this up coming week. Found a muffler shop right near work so I can drop it off in the morning and pick it up at the end of the day when its ready.

Exhaust leak by chance? Sometimes this can add noise to the cabin. I had a small one on my BRZ which made it sound pretty bad and drove me crazy. It was right under the location of the center console (or lack there of). Just a thought

I have had my Vibrant for 2 days now...and around 2200 RPM I have a bit of a unpleasant 'drone' like sound. Didn't have this with the stock exhaust for sure.

Did you remove your resonator?

By replacing stock muffler with the Vibrant, there is going to be an increase in sound, unfortunately, to some this can be annoying in cabin.

If you want to here some real drone - Subaru BRZ, Catless headers to 3" unresonated Cat-back with canister style mufflers. I had this setup for a very very short time on my last car. The BRZ's motor has a 12.5:1 compression ratio. The higher this ratio, the louder a car will be. After that exhaust setup every thing to me seems mild lol.


want to know if you removed the resonator because I am going to have my muffler installed this week and I am wondering if I should leave it in. I will be getting catless headers next week as well, but won't get around to installing them until after I smog my vehicle.

Hey Dual,

Do you have the 2.5" inlet or 3" inlet?

Also, are the leaves beginning to change at all? fall is my favorite time to be in Maine

Nope, both my resonators are intact. I thought I would wait to see what the exhaust swap sounds like...and maybe I can remove the resonator later if required. Sounds like I am going to keep my resonators. Oh and I have the 2.5" version (Vibrant 1148).
