If u take it out make sure you put somethin there, like a high flow resonator or something. You will actually less performance having only the rear muffler.

I went to a different shop. re: resonator. frequent visitors to performance forum are not Ford's customer base. people want quiet car w/ automatic, no engine noise, road noise, intake or exhaust noise. interestingly though, MACH1 stang has two resonators of the same 2 chamber design as ours. they went through all the troubles to gain extra ponies then put the resonators back there. now that car is definitely not for a blue haired granny... go figure... --alex \| 98 SE V6 MTX w/ things
