How do I start...
I loved the sound of my Nowack exhaust in the US.
Liked the sound of the Kelleners Race on the Ute M5 in OZ, but I thought the US sound was better/deeper and to be honest the Kelleners seemed a bit metalic in my Ute in Australia.
With the Kelleners on and when I intially deleted the Tubi resonators, the sound was just too loud in residential areas, I had to change gear by2,000rpm to just not kill people near me.
Put the Tubi resonators back on and the volume was totally killed, but still way better the stock.
Kelleners race without resonators
volume 9, with resonators back on 5
I send the deeper sounding Nowack to OZ and the Keleners back to the US M5.
That flip totally changed the two sounds.
The Nowack was nice and now very sound streetable in my nanny country of Australia and with a nice deepr tone.
At the higher end of things the Nowack is real nice, but under 4,000rpm it's just OK, but cop safe.
The kelleners on the OZ vehicle was a bit metalic, but a swap the US car and it was deep and weighted.
This set up is now bloody perfect (for the less touchy US cops)
Love it 100%
Now back to resonators.
I think the Nowack exhaust set up on the Ute is currently running the original Tubi resonators out back, this is what MIB had on yoda when I bought it.
The US M5 has always had the Nowack resonators that seem to be hand made and not bought off the shelf, and from what I can hear the resonators are the key ingredent in what's changing the tone/volume so much between the two..
Not sure who here has the Tubi resonators and what they know about them, but sure there are even less people with the Nowack resonators out there.
The Nowack ones are bretty basic from the outside point of view.
Their about 12" long and 4" wide....that's it.
Would love to know what the inside is like and if it's just a 4" wide exhaust tube?
I'd have to say the bacially most M5's make the same sound from post cats, but from resonators back things can change.
I know that the current "yeh baby" US set up will get me in trouble in OZ in only a number of weeks so it's not really an otion to try and copy it.
Thought of cutting out the Nowack resonators and getting them fitted to the OZ ute and see if I've hit a sweet spot, and if not head another direction and get the Nowack ones sent back to the US and start again.
Another option is to do a bi-modal system that goes around the Tubi's and play with that idea of getting the volume when I feel the need at the right times, but knowing how loud the resoanator delete got with the Kelleners on, I'm a bit suspect that it would be too loud for reves under 4,000rpm
Not sure I want to be flicking at a button all day.
Are there any decent 4" x 12" resonators out there that guys have used on their M5's that I can get feed back from.
