Default Where to buy a resonator?

Like the title says. I am looking for a 2.5" in and out resonator. I need one that is a round/circle style as opposed to a more traditional muffler shape. Also will a glass pack work just as well for a resonator? Thanks for any help guys. I am looking to either order this today or else pick it up local.

cool I just ordered the same one....but I had them two day mail it so it was a little more expensive. The shipping is free if you just want normal gound service.

also about the glass packs being the same...they really are not. I did some research and they have louvers that restrict exhaust flow, while the magnaflow resinators have perforated cores which allow for better exhaust flow. Just thought I would let you guys know.

One of my friends has a CSVT and he has the tru-bends dual exhaust. It sounds really nice, though I am not sure how it would sound if you have the non SVT car.

Glass-packs are louvered, but generally resonators aren't.

Also, speaking very generally, you don't want louvered.

Get a Dynomax Race Bullet. <$35
