Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches New England can I hear a removed resonator?

Anyone in the Worcester/Boston area willing to meet me some saturday so I can hear what a removed resonator sounds like? I am adding the y-pipe from SHOshop.com and a dynomax muffler. was wondering if I sould get rid of the resonater as well.

Elky has resonator deleted, he lives a half hour north of Boston.

If you're using a Sho-Shop Y pipe I suggest using some sort of muffler in place of the factory resonator. If you eliminate the resonator with an aftermrket Y pipe and aftermarket performance mufflers at the rear it will not make very pleasant sounds when the engine is cold, plus you'll have interior noise that will become bothersome on long trips.

I have 2 magnaflow 4" round mufflers at the rear of my svt, along with a removed resonator and optimized Y pipe. It is loud on the outside with alot of rasp when its cold, plus the interior sound on a long trip really starts to bother me.

I've heard something like a Magnaflow 4" round muffler in place of the resonator works well. I believe that someone on the site discovered a specific part number for the Eidlebrock RPM series mufflers to be nearly an exact match in dimensions to the stock resonator.

You definitely want to put something in place of the resonator!! I removed mine last summer, and while it sounded sweet, I lost alot of low-end torque. The SHO shop carries a resonator replacement muffler that i am definitely thinking about putting on......Like I said, I loved the sound, but the power loss wasn't worth it to me.

you can probably hear elkys rasp from the comfort of your own home
