    Default Hotdog or Resonator?

    I got extractors and a high flow cat on my VT the other day. And i think it is too loud and high pitch for my liking. Just the Lukey catback sounded better and the exhaust place said they could do a hotdog or resonator. Which one do you reckon?

    I might be wrong but ive heard hotdogs are actually illegal... It depends how loud it is really. A resonator is pretty much a big arse hot dog. If your having cronic drone get a resonator, if its not to bad go with a pluto pup.

    Its just a really high pitch sound especially when its changing from 2nd to 3rd. And i prefer it to be deep then high.

    hotdogs aren't illegal they just don't muffle the sound very well. It's basically minimal packing usually good if u need ground clearance, you can put a couple in.

    Are you happy with it? If not, just go back tell em your not happy with it and get a hotdog. They have to replace it man, its common law if your not happy with the product/service then your entitled to a refund or replacement.
