    Got the resonator off

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Well this morning I got up early to head over to meineke, got there at 8:30, car went up the lift at 9:30 and was out by 10-ish. Got the resonator cut off, replaced with straight pipes. With that and my 14851's already being on, the combo of the 2 just sounds great. Such an improvement over just the 14851s with the resonator on. I was smiling the whole way home. Cost was $120. Anyone considering this because you want more sound, it just sounds 10x better. Its loud compared to having the resonator on, but its not overly loud, its about the normal kind of loud for an exhaust. So now my setup is stock pipes, no resonator, and 14851's to finish it off.

    For those wondering, there is no drone at idle or cruising. Just sounds great on acceleration, as I explained above.

    I'll get a video up tomorrow if i can, and no, its not all new piping its just straight pipe replacing the spot where the resonator was, then after the replacement piping, its stock to the 14851s. As for the drone, during the 2500-3500rpm range, if you stop accelerating and just let it cruise while in gear, then yea you here it, theres even popping sometimes.

    Dumb question: does drone negatively affect our cars?

    And, can't wait to hear these bad boys! Post that vid! Nice choice on the upgrade, for that cost I may do so as well.

    the only damage it'd do would be caused by the vibration and the rattles and ur ears of course!
