    My resonator is making noise like metal chattering and dont know if I should replace it with another one or a glass pack or just remove it and weld a pipe in it's place. I have two dynomax super turbo mufflers on it already.

    Im also wondering about my resinator and weather or not i should be going to something different.no cat on the car still has all other stock piping except for two 4' supertrapps running 8 discs now.Im going to try 12 plates each side as it still feels a little trapped at higher rpms.i would just like to make the note a little deeper without sacrificing to much power.

    make sure that you tell the installer you dont want a b.s. patch and if they use any pieces to put it together that you dont want them to use smaller diameter pipe than whats on there already.
