Secondary Kitties + Resonator Delete :D
Well, I cut the resonator off about 3 weeks ago and it was a mellow improvement. Today I cut the secondary kitties off and man what a difference. It's exactly what I was looking for. Noise level inside the cab of the car is not much louder than stock, but noticeable. The outside level is a vast improvement. Sounds great. I'm a very happy camper.

Do you have any pictures of the replacement so I can get an idea of how it needs to be done?
