yeah, I wonder if he meant resonator instead. I searched under detonator under various wording and nothing.
Hey there's the member: Joe.
So is there any actual pics of the set-up? I wanna know if he meant resonator instead. I already have the Borla XL muffler replacing my stock. Just need to find the exact parts to make this custom set-up.

Yes, I'm asking the shop to use my borla muffler and make a new exhaust system exactly like the diagram. They said they can do anything. Can I use the stock resonator or do I have to buy one? Also, can I use high flow cats or will they ruin the sound?

From this diagram, its seems like the y-piping comes directly after the headers. Some aftermarket y-pipes don't match the design of this diagram. It might have to be custom 2.5 coming into 3" to the resonator.

Im still kinda confused about this set-up. Do you guys think this will make good power at all. It sounds amazing... but the whole selection seems kind of random.
Waiting for someone to give detailed instructions on the build with pics.

test pipes come from the headers.
i sent him a message awhile back. he showed me a pic of his set up but he deleted the pic in his image hoster before i can save it since i didnt have a home computer back then. He has non resonated test pipes(no brand), to a stock y pipe, then to a no name short resonator(had bad welds to the borla exhaust since the opening had to go to 3"), to a borla 3" inlet to two 2.5 outlets , then 2.5 straight pipes with no name tips.
He said he lost power since be believes where the openings go to 3" to the stock y pipe but he said the sound made up for it.

I don't know if losing power is worth it for the sound.
