first of all, there is only one resonator. It's the big muffler looking thing right after the cat. The 2 mufflers on the back are just that, mufflers. Don't cut those off!

Don't do it.

It gives you a little sportyier of a sound... but it drones on the highway and it rasps when it is cold. I purchased my car with no resonator, but my next exhaust will definitly have one.

I disagree - did mine for $20 and LOVED it. LOVED it!

I don't have a res in my SVT, When it's cold i hate it because it sounds like crap with that rasp. Once it's warm the car sounds pretty good and yes it will be loud from inside the car. Best bet is to take it off and replace with magnaflow muffler that way u get the deep sound but no rasp.

I'll vouch for that. It's quite raspy when it's cold.
