resonator

[papaspanky]

I am about to cut the resonator off and replace it with a straight pipe. does anyone know if it will be extremely loud? its on a 2006 GT.

[Bio248]

it wont be much louder, but it will have less 'tone' and more 'rasp'.

[papaspanky]

thanks I guess I won't be going that route.

Get rid of the cat...that'll give you the deeper tone with less rasp...or just get a 3" catless downpipe.

[papaspanky]

If I get rid of the cat won't it start throwing trouble codes. I don't know much about fuel injected cars or the obd system. I am an old school gear head.

[Bio248]

yes, it will throw a check engine light, but you can delete the codes so it doesnt show up again if you know someone with a tuner.

I am looking for more sound and free flow but every cat back I look at is around 400-500 bucks.any ideas? I am sticker shocked cause I did the whole exhaust on my T/A headers and all for like 300.

[Bio248]

the catbacks for these cars are way overpriced. just pick out some mufflers you like and swap mufflers only and youll get what youre looking for.

my $.02... i replaced my res with a glasspack, left the cat, and took off the mufflers and i like the sound. cost me 200 to have that done along with 2.5 inch pipe, and 40 bucks for the dp to be welded in.
