So I had a Vibrant Ultra Quiet 3" resonator welded in place of the Q300 resonator on my dual setup & it sounds PERFECT now. Drone & rasp are almost COMPLETELY eliminated. This is how I was expecting the Q300 dual to sound when I bought it. I couldn't be happier with my exhaust setup at this point

I would expect the Ultra Quiet resonatfor to completely eliminate rasp on the Q300, but I wouldn't expect it to reduce drone that much. However, if you have a lowered VTEC engagement point, that Ultra Quiet resonator comes with a significant penalty in midrange torque.

It did reduce drone quite a bit. I can now have conversations with the top up at any rpm. I haven't lowered vtec & i'm supercharged FYI

Are you running an HFC or OEM cat?
