Remove exhaust resonator
Hi,
Basically I have stock exhaust setup, however, after close inspection of my setup, I noticed that right after the cats (up front), there are two resonators. So basically I have: cats -> resonators -> mufflers Also, I have Mac cat-back with Flowpath mufflers and 3" chrome tips. I like the sound of my car, but I am looking towards a more throaty sound, and was wondering if it's worth removing the resonators? As I write this, I'm gonna call up a few muffler shops to see how much they'd charge for the removal. If it's about $100-$150CDN total, I think I'll do it. Thanks! Bye! ------------------ Gautam N.

I believe what you are seeing is just cats, there are 4 cats on the H-pipe. Your best bet for an improved sound would be to get a H-pipe without cats or an H pipe with good flowing cats, then a set of Mac FlowPaths for a deep throaty sound, long tubes won't hurt either.

It would be very inexpensive to just get rid of the cats completely as Fordgasm suggested. Summit has an off-road h-pipe for $110 USD.

Hi,
Well, Im gonna take some pics and show you guys what my setup looks like just so that you guys can see what I have. As for removing cats, well I live in Ontario, Canada and we have emission laws; cats are mandatory. Will let you know what I find out. Bye! ------------------ Gautam N.

Looking forward to seeing the picture, but the thing you are mistaking as a resonator is really a cat. The thing you are mistaking as a cat is a pre-heater. Both are required emissions components. Since emissions are required, a muffler shop won't touch them, and only removing them completely would help with your sound.
Replacing them with a high-flow h-pipe is probably your only option. You'll get better flow and better sound. ------------------ 351W 89 Mustang GT Convertible |
