Cool Resonated vs non-resonated decat centre section

Hi all,

Thinking of Decatting the centre section of my MY99 soon, going to go back to H&S (already have the H&S orginal scooby design backbox). I was just wondering what the difference between a resonated and non-resonated centre section was in terms of sound (i.e. volume and tone) and performance (i.e. does one flow better than the other?) I'd like a bit more of the flat four rumble to find its way into the cabin without becomming too intrusive! I know there aren't huge gains from the centre section decat, but I'm going to do the downpipe close to a time when I can get the remap done for safetys sake.

All the best.

i replaced my resonated section with straight through, sounds great but when i replaxed the zero sports back box with the blitz nurspec the sound was amazing, so make sure u ave a nice loud back box first performance wise the resonated wont make much diff, but get the downpipe done

I had a straight thru centre on my MY00 and Magnex oval back box. TBH the droning at 75-80mph did my head in. Then fitted a resonated centre, and oh what bliss, still had the flat 4 burble but the droning had all but gone.

Miss the burble on my JDM STi though.
