    my resonators rotted and im planning on just putting a straight pipe on but ive heard things like if you put a straight pipe on theirs an annoying drone in the interior and it makes your engine sound raspier. has anyone done this to their car and no if it does anything?

    Yes, if you have no resonator, you will have highway drone, and the car will be raspier.

    no res on these cars sounds worse than putting a fart can on it.

    YouTube - Grand Prix GT Straight pipes at about 1:10 you can hear how it would sound on the highway.

    YouTube - Grand Prix Exhaust without resonator no res, sounds pretty bad.

    i have headers and a high flow cat. sounds great. except for the drone. gets annoying wen talkin to someone who hasn't been in ur car before. but hey cars arent for talking. there for driving and blasting music. if u want to talk text me chief lol. but yea im thinking about puttin a glasspack on mine and fixing the 3 inch to 2.5 inch difference in pipe width that i encountered during my header instal so right now theres a little leak.

    I picked up a Walker OE resonator from Advance Auto last week for $80. It's VERY quiet. When I first started the car after it was put on, I opened my door just to check and make sure the car actually started. I wasn't sure I was going to like it so quiet, but it's been so nice not having a headache every time I get out the car.

    If you have new stock muffs there wont be any rasp at all really. It wont drone at all. In fact it'll be pretty damned quiet.

    Stock muffs FTW.

    No resonator here but stock muffs and its VERY quiet.

    Anything if you dont have emissions.

    If you do, then you need a high density one.

    24" glasspack on summit is 19.99. if you cant afford that then you should retire from working on cars.

    I can't fit a 24" resonator because I have a cat welded into my headers.

    What now?
