    Pros and cons of resonator Delete

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    what are the pros to this? Im thinking about putting the vibrant 1149 eithor 3" inlet to 3'' dual tip with a new Y pipe that goes into a 3'' downpipe instead of the stock one that goes into eithor 2.25 or 2.4 i cant remember witch. i dont know weather to get a high flow resonator, this guys sounds really nice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yIeIjUJfeQ
    But i also am thinking about just stock Y pipe and just putting a straight pipe to the muffler no resonator, this sounds real good also but i dont know if theres a power increase from no res or fatter pipes. any suggestions??

    If you don't have a ton of money, most 2.8L I believe are just doing stuff like this guy,
    http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...-exhaust-build
    But sometimes instead of a resonator they just put a muffler on and skip the resonator.

    I'm currently in the process of trying to figure out how I want to do my custom exhaust I'm going to just basically chop off after the two cats, weld on a Y adapter to a single pipe...Then straight pipe to a muffler.

    Just still trying to work out the inlet dimensions and outlet dimensions..
