The resonator also balances the pressure between both sides of the exhaust. Congrats on messing up.

The resonator balances the pressure between both sides of the exhaust. Straightpipes don't. That is all.

You already said that-- but that doesn't explain why jump on his case when so many others have done it?

How did I jump on his case? By pointing out a mistake?

What is this, the pansies forum of love where everything needs to be sugarcoated?

"Oh how pretty those straightpipes are! I'm sure it's a real treat to look up under the car and note the newfound shine. I wish MB thought of that instead of putting the ugly resonator under there!"

Is that better for your candy ***?

Timeless, with all respect to you, how exactly did I jump on his case as Akademics claimed? That's where it all started from.

This is not a popularity contest. Nor do other forums come into play here. Single thread here where I made a simple reply. The mod goes against what the car needs, that's all.

Also, feel free to let me know if this forum has a minimum age limit if it's above 28.

Perhaps you took what I said too offensively? I didn't mean to insinuate you going ballistic on the guy, I was just adding to what Timeless was initially saying.
