I am not sure why a tuner hasnt stepped up to produce these for our cars. Something designed with carefully calculated sizes and lenghts (no offense to your math skills )

Folks seem intent on welding straight through resonators in the Xpipe but branch resonators in the rear section is what really eliminates drone.
Youre absolutely right--I had a nismo 350z with the HKS exhaust. That had helmholtz chambers on the canisters, too. Worked very well.


Yeah, resonators will just make the drone sound more bassy and will be heard. Only masking something that is still there. The chambers in the rear is where the fix is.
