Thread: Removing the resonator. How does it sound?

i've heard from others. it will sound like poop.


do a down pipe or a high flow cat. or both.

I personally don't like the sound of a 3800 with no resonator and cat. There is an exhaust thread in here somewhere where people posted vids of their cars exhaust. I would check that thread out. Maybe you would be better off keeping the res and getting some aftermarket mufflers.

No res can sound good with the right mufflers. I doubt it would sound right on stock mufflers though.

Now this may sound a little noobish, but im not to sure what exactly a down pipe is. I believe its what connects from the headers to the exhaust under the vehicle (headers to resinator?).

How much does this usually run?

Very right, the downpipe is the pipe between the headers and the cat back. the cat is in the down pipe, but most after market downpipes don't have cats
