Bit of a long shot, but can someone give me the dimensions of the center resonator?? I am trying to get the length, width, and height of that space it occupies so I can have some different replacement options for it in stock at the exhaust shop. Thanks in advance...

When I get home tonight, I'll measure it. It just happens to be on a shelf in the garage.

The dimension taken from the center silencer I replaced in my spyder is: 37.5" x 12" x 4". See the following pic.

I had posted some pics of the replacement (X-OST) in case you want to take a look:

Thanks! So is the 37.5" length dimension including the x pipe? I am considering a swap to a magnaflow dual inlet/oulet muffler with internal x-pipe...

Yes, it includes the x pipes.

Well, I had my center resonator and x pipe assembly replaced with a magnaflow dual inlet/outlet unit that has an internal x pipe in an effort to quiet down the exhaust just a touch.

The new sound is maybe a little cleaner than the stock resonator, but is louder. I didn't expect this, considering the straight-thru design of the stock resonator and the new packing in the magnaflow, but it is louder. The magnaflow is shorter than the resonator though, so I do now have room to possibly add some 4" round magnaflows as well just after it.

I have realized a fair reduction in weight by removing the back boxes and replacing the resonator. This has been an effort though to get a nicer sound from the exhaust, comparable to a tubi, at a lesser price. With all the custom work done to this point I am inching closer to the tubi price all the time...
