I love my thermal 3" but sometimes I wonder how it would be taken down a notch with sound and contemplate if I should have got the 2.5" version. That being said, can you describe the effect the resonators have on your setup? Thanks

You couldn’t pay me to put those pinion bushings in. Seen too many failures and they’re a pain in the ass to swap.
