    Keep the shifts under 3k preferably 2500 and you'll notice a increase in fuel econ. Trust me, i gained 4mpg by doing this. I know you feel like you putt (drive like a grandma) on the on ramps going (accelerating) this slow but your pocket book will thank you. Also when i'm trying to save money\fuel I drive 5 under the speed limit. I'm in no hurry to get home or to work. I still get there on time i just leave a bit earlier.

    Resonators are there to keep the RESONANCE; ie the drone, out of the exhaust. They are straight thru and offer no restriction. There is never any need to delete a resonator. Now you know why.

    Hmmm, resonate... interesting concept. I went back to the shop and they still had my old one in their metal bin. Much better now; still a bit of drone at the 2k range, but I went through a couple different cat-backs on my '03 Cobra before finding the perfect one. So I don't really care. Mileage still isn't where I want it. I seem to be pressing down on the go-pedal more often at the moment. But that's me; did the same with my past toys. Too bad it's not a stick.
