Removed resonator Vid

Well here is my lame attempt at a vid my buddy and I did today at lunch while at the office. First just walking around the car, then revving, then full acceleration... first one kinda got away from me I was to close to one side of road it wasn’t that wide then the second time he started filming late and the last part was just a short clip of normal driving in the car. I know it’s a poor attempt at a video the camera wasn’t really that good but it kinda gives you an idea of what it sounds like with out resonators.

congradulations on your new mod, I had mine removed last winter and very much enjoyed the lower rpm gains in torque.

The good thing about it is that its easy to remove and install by welding or fabricating connectors as an example.

Sounds great! I recently took out my mufflers (no resonators to gut) and I'm loving it Sounds similar to yours.

That would be a good place to meet. I'm in Lincoln so that's about 70 miles from me and about 55 miles for you two. We can meet up sometime on Saturday or Sunday. If so, let's meet early in the morning either day so I can spend time at home with the kids. Let's bring some cameras too!

I just removed my resonators and had straight pipes installed and the sound is awesome. This is the best $100 mod possible. It is not too loud... its just right for me.
