Resonator question...

Can takin out the resonators be the answer to my problems. My car seems to be overheatin or seems to be alot "warmer" then others. Could that be a problem? Some of you may have heard of my problems. But when I am on the freeway and give it a good push of the throttle...maybe up to redline so it shifts on its on...I'll get to about 100 and then slow down...then I'll try it again after about 2 minutes later and the car will downshift and all but the car feels like the s/c isn't engaged. The rpms go up but the "in your seat" action isn't there? Any suggestions??? Please help!~!

I doubt that the resonators affect your car's performance. Aren't the resonators there only to muffle the sound of the exhaust? Perhaps it plays a part in backpressure, but I would think that there's some issue w/ your S/C or something else, causing it not to engage.

This is what now becoming "classic" intercooler pump failure. Pump shut-off intermittently causing a rise in intake temperature. At 255F DME shut-off the kompressor. Once pump comes back to life, everything is normal again.

That sounds very likely.

The resonators do create some back pressure but nothing that would be the culprit of your symptoms.
