Well I have a 4x4x18" Magnaflow resonator (#10425) sitting in the wrong place right now....NOT ON MY CAR! Anyways, I was talking to the mechanic at a muffler shop and he claims its not wise to put on the round resonator when the stock resonator is an offset/offset muffler. Claims that it will stress the exhaust too much and cause a rattling sound. Someone care to enlighten me if he is right or not? I was hoping to have this installed today, but by the way this day was going, this was the final kick to the gonads. BTW, installation would've only been $20. That's a pretty sweet price if you ask me. Thanks. Silver 1998 Contour SE Sport K&N Intake, Magnaflow Res.,SVT Body Kit(soon) Koni Sport Kit

But it was no problem and mine doesn't rattle. It honestly boils down to the welder. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I had it rewelded from a ford mechanic after he saw it when he was doing my trans!! Last edited by Mkingracing; 06/24/05 10:08 PM. I reject your reality and substitute my own.
